Comment on Ask HN: What source control system do you use? GitHub? Bitbucket? Gitlab? Other?

Comments

for stuff I/my company (as in the company I own not just one I work for) control first choice is Mercurial repos until now on Bitbucket. Some projects that I’ve forked to fix bugs/enhance are already on GitHub so they live there for now.

I’d prefer to self host them all and just push copies to external locations for the purposes of PRs etc.

Just out of curiosity, why do you prefer to self host?

More control. No “sun setting” of things because other people think it’s not popular enough to support. Arguably a simpler setup and thus less things to break/go wrong (this is somewhat a factor of scale, and I believe somewhat a factor of over engineering at a lot of SAAS shops)
