Recommendations for a source code hosting service (lemmy.ml)

I am looking for recommendations for an open source self-hosted ~~version control system~~ source code hosting service. I found a few, but I can't decide on which one to pick:

If there's a better one than the ones I've listed here, I'd love to hear about it!

I care primarily about privacy and security, if that makes any difference.

The things you're describing aren't really version control systems themselves. Git is a version control system; these are an ecosystem of web-based tools surrounding that version control system.

I don't know if there's a good term for these.

Wikipedia calls them "forges":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forge_(software)

In free and open-source software (FOSS) development communities, a forge is a web-based collaborative software platform for both developing and sharing computer applications.

For software developers it is an online service to host the tools they need to work and communicate with their coworkers. It provides a workflow to propose modifications and engage in discussions. The goal is to reach an agreement that will allow these modifications to be merged into the software repository.

For users, a forge is a repository of computer applications, a place where bugs can be reported, a channel to be informed of security issues, etc.

The source code itself is stored in a revision control system and linked to a wide range of services such as a code review, bug database, continuous integration, etc. When a development community forks, it duplicates the content of the forge and is then able to modify it without asking permission. A community may rely on services scattered on multiple forges: they are not necessarily hosted under the same domain.

Sorry for the off-topic question, but this has been driving me crazy.

Is “kagis” the verb for using the search engine “kagi”? For the longest time I’ve been interpreting it as a “dejected sigh” emotional expression.

Yes!

I guess it would be more akin to a "source code hosting service," but that would imply that I intend to open it to the internet (which isn't necessarily the case).
