Time to self host this bitch!

Selfhost what? Git? Git is version control software that you can use entirely locally. The only reason Github/Gitlab/etc exists is because people wanted a central repo to work from.

I don't think this is true. People didn't want to host their own. It's a pretty big task that takes time and attention away from other activities. Especially if you want your repo to face the public. Just keeping it secure can be a part-time job.

Perhaps it is becoming more feasible these days.

It's not a big task, and doesn't take much time. Self hosting is ridiculously easy. There are so many easily deployable containerized git hosting images ready to roll.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to get at 😅

I know you can selfhost git repo software, but git on its own just controls versioning locally on your machine. Syncing to an external repo is optional.

Lmao dude, no one is talking about git on this comment thread. You’re talking to yourself.
