> Or BitBucket

But why would anybody ever do that?



It's surprisingly easy to set up and run, even with redundancy, integrates well with Jira, Confluence. Was fast enough, stable enough, had everything one needed (offered more than a hosted solution such as github). IIRC kept git completely separate, so it worked even during updates or restarts.

Disclaimer: I passionately hate Atlassian products, but I don't feel like using Stash/Bitbucket is a bad choice in any way.


I actually enjoyed BitBucket for smaller projects. They offered free private-repos earlier than GitHub did, so that was the main sellingpoint for me.

The self hosted version of BitBucket comes in at a pretty reasonable price. I don't know that for sure (and I can't check thanks to GH being down) but I'd imagine the self-hosted versions for GitHub Enterprise are quite a bit more expensive than Bitbucket or Gitlab.
