Who needs Github ?

Build your own GIT server

Most developers have nowadays migrated to Git from arcane, older legacy systems, and this is for good. We use it because we know that there our code is (mostly) safe.
There is a lot of actually very good providers out there that will help you and set up a server for you, on their machines. There is Gitea, there is GitHub, you just do your job, push to them and let them backup your own code.
For most people this is just fine, I can’t understand that well for companies tough...

All you need to run git between working copies is different working copies. You don't need a git "server" or anything - you can use any old account you have ssh access to.

Pretty much everyone uses GitHub it is more than good enough. I need some reasons to use my GitLab and Bitbucket accounts. 😅
