From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Github is the industry standard. It's easy to use and is packed with features, it's also quite flexible in how much it provides for free.

Codeberg is a github clone but open source and nonprofit. People are weary that github is owned by Microsoft so if you're a privacy conscious person that likes open source, it's a good option.

I've never used Gitlab but from what I've heard it's more enterprise oriented, focused on providing solutions for companies rather than something simple for everyone. You can also self-host it if you want it on your own servers.

I generally recommend GitTea if you need a nice simple Git server. Or ... Just use GitHub and be done with it. Maybe GitLab if you cannot put company stuff on GitHub for some high security reasons.
