I mean, didn't Gitlab also say they were going all-in on AI?
There's no major forge you can use for proprietary projects that isn't shitty.
Don’t remind me …. The doublespeak at my company ….. we had to use GitHub for the built in AI, but couldn’t even evaluate GitLab’s AI because it costs extra
Forgejo, if you self host it, you can use it for propietary projects
(And it's as easy as deploying a docker container and hitting start, really)
Yes, but then you hold all the liability for your shit going missing. The entire point of using a managed service like github or gitlab is that you have someone to sue.
