Any recommendations for alternatives to GitHub for corporate use?
The current GitHub AI training thing means that GitHub cannot be used for anything confidential. There's no way of saying at an org level that data cannot be used to train AI, which means that anything in a GitHub private org used by more than one person is at risk.
I've mostly looked at alternatives for personal and F/OSS things. The requirements for corporate use also include decent ACLs, MFA, and so on.
It doesn't have to be gitlab.com though.
For example: https://www.stackhero.io/en-GB/services/GitLab/benefits
I'm sure there are others.
@david_chisnall companies are going to need to start fucking listening to people like me who have been telling them for years that if it's that important, a contract isn't worth the paper it's printed on if it's in someone else's hands. And they're gonna have to invest money in hiring skilled, educated workers who actually know how to research, build, run, and maintain infrastructure like that.
BTW, GitLab is also on the 'hell no' list. You can't opt out of their LLM shit or hosted runners.
@david_chisnall and to be clear here: I've used P4 for years. I'm still a big fan of P4. It does what others can't and it does version control better than anything else, period. I would not hesitate to recommend P4 as a replacement to anyone with unlimited budget.
The trade-off is that it is a VERY complex product that REQUIRES specialists to effectively deploy and manage. That's why they offer "we'll admin your on-prem for you" services.
@david_chisnall perhaps the obvious options would probably be GitLab or Bitbucket.
There's a more exhaustive list on Wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_source-code-hosting_facilities
Based on the number of users alone, maybe Launchpad (Canonical), or SourceForge would support corporate orgs.
Gitea seems to offer "enterprise" services, whatever that means. Seems to be more of a supported self hosted, though they do administer their own instance.
Codeberg supports private organizations and teams management. Maybe you could talk to them. Clearly if your org is willing to pay for GHE, I'm sure that money could help them help you.
My employer just announced that they will be closing their internally run github instance (thus self-controlled re AI, IP, and all that) and forcing the entire university to microsquishy's guthub . com.
I mean WTF?
