GitHub\u00a0users have a choice of using either\u00a0Git or Subversion as\u00a0their VCS (Version Control System), to manage, maintain and deploy software projects. It has more than 28 million developers already collaborating on the platform and are working on more than 85 million repositories of code.<\/p>\n<p>While Microsoft has assured that GitHub will continue to operate independently and will remain an open platform <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techworm.net\/2018\/06\/microsoft-to-buy-github-for-7-5-billion-in-an-all-stock-deal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">after the acquisition<\/a>,\u00a0open source developers are not hopeful and may look for an alternate place.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, we provide you top 5 GitHub alternatives to host your open-source project:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>GitLab<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/about.gitlab.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">GitLab<\/a>\u00a0is a free and open source project licensed under MIT\u00a0that is very close to GitHub in use and feel.
