</div>The main difference is that you can host gitlab yourself (if you want),<br>
though nowadays that might be somewhat involved due to the Docker<br>
integration and whatnot.<br>
<br>
If you plan to use a hosted service, there's probably not a huge<br>
difference between github and gitlab so going where most of the<br>
developers already are makes sense.<br>
<br>
The main issue might be that neither provide some mailing-list like<br>
discussion forum, as the forge does/did.<br>
