Folks,

I'm looking for a self-hosted GitHub alternative that I can just plop into Portainer as a docker-compose and get working.

My main interest is in something that sort of works with GitHub - if there's a way I can pull repos from GitHub into this self-hosted git using a webUI and maybe even push my changes to repos on GitHub, that would be nice. I'm not hard-and-fast on this though as this is mostly an experiment right now and I don't know why I need this.

What are you folks using to host your super secret local code and why?

I personally use gitea but there is also a community version of gitlab that has way more power than I need.

Gitea can import a repo from GitHub but I don't know whether it can also push updates out as one never tried to do that.

I picked gitea as I didn't need all of the extra power of gitlab and they were the first two options I found. I don't deploy it using portainer but all of my stacks are set up as git repos in portainer and using the webhook feature it'll auto pull and redeploy whenever I push to it
