Let's be honest, the majority here probably has a github account. Some of us are happy as a clam and wouldn't switch no matter what happened, but there are some who would and haven't yet. Why?

I've never really heard of alternatives, to be honest. If others are equally easy to use and work with Git, I'd do it. Taking suggestions for alternatives?

GitLab. You can use their SaaS offering (gitlab.com) or run the open source version on your own server(s).

I was self hosting GitLab for a while. The docker container was quick and easy to set up, simply worked out of the box.

You can host your own Git server.
