Guided scenario
Self-hosted Git hosting
Hosting your own Git server keeps source code inside your network and under your policies. This shortlist ranks code-hosting platforms by open-source licensing and self-hosting, then by how much of the workflow comes built in: CI/CD, a package registry, issue tracking, and enterprise single sign-on. Also weigh the effort of upgrades and backups, and migration tools for existing repositories.
