I am confused by all these news articles who state that Microsoft already bought GitHub which is simply not the case.
Even a privacy oriented blog i follow miswrote the situation, using a 3rd party site as source.

So let's just quote the first words of the official GitHub announcement:

I am very excited to announce that Microsoft is acquiring GitHub and expect the agreement to close by the end of the year. While it will still take a few months to finalize, we wanted to share the news as soon as we were able.

Where should i move my repos to?

  • The easiest solution might me GitLab, even tho their repurtation was hurt by a database issue where they lost a ton of data but hey this can happen the best and i don't think this will happen a second time to them - GitLab has wonderful and very handy import features also it's Ruby and got a powerful OpenSource Community version for selfhosting. It is also very easy to deploy and wonderful documented.
  • Another popular, lightwight solution for selfhosting is Gogs - there is no official flagship instance yet as far as i know but many people are hosting it.
  • Gitea is an interesting fork of Gogs (both written in Golang)
