I've been a happy paying customer of [GitHub][1] since early 2009. But yesterday, for a few different reasons, I deleted all of my private repositories and moved them over to a self-hosted installation of [GitLab][2]. I didn't make that decision lightly, as I've been very happy with GitHub for the last five years, but here's why…

If you're familiar with their pricing structure, you'll know they charge based on how many private projects you have. $22 a month will get you twenty repos. But as soon as you create that twenty-first one, you graduate onto the $50 a month plan. Maybe if I were actually hosting 50 repositories with GitHub I'd be willing
