It might not be cheaper depending on your needs. You won't get all the features GitHub provides with just a git server. You can install something like GitLab, Gogs or Gitea but then you need to do the maintenance yourself which is not minutes. Add to that the user permission system which Bitbucket like services provide out of the box (I don't know about GitHub), for example a certain team in your company can access certain repositories, interns can access other repositories etc. Add to that when you want one of your customers to have a read-only access to a repository, so you not only have to manage user permissions, but your whole IT structure needs to provide outside access to a certain part of your network, in a secure way. This is achievable but it certainly wouldn't take just minutes. Services like Github and Bitbucket provide all these features for a reasonable price, and they have dedicated sysadmins working on providing a secure service 24/7, who would do a better job than a lot of companies can do with their 1-2 person team doing sysadmin things in their free time, besides their main daily workload. |
