Hosted Git is convenient. Self-hosting is about control.
Know where the code lives
Repositories sit on servers you run. You decide on backups, retention and who gets in.
Set your own access rules
Give people the access their role needs and remove it when they leave.
Keep it simple
Self-hosting only pays off if it stays easy to run. Pick tools you can update without a project.
