Self-Hosted Git
If your code, client data, or internal tooling lives in someone else’s cloud, you are trading convenience for control. Self-hosted Git keeps repositories, issues, and metadata on infrastructure you own.
Why move off cloud Git hosts
-Per-seat pricing that rises as the team grows
-Vendor lock-in around issues, PRs, and workflows
-Data residency and export uncertainty
-No offline access to code or metadata
