If you are looking for the same then this article will help you out. Here I am covering 7 best GitLab alternative sites for better project management and hosting.
7 GitLab Alternative Tools for Developer, Team, and Business
1) GitHub
Github comes first in the list of GitLab alternatives. It is the most popular git repository developers and business people use. As a team of developers, you can check in and check out the codes, do code reviews and make project management easy.
As an individual developer also, you can let other developers contribute to your project and become a part of it.
Not only managing project, you can use Github to get help to build your own project. For example, when you need an animation library for your Android project, just type in the keyword in GitHub search bar and you will get lots of sources in no time.
