It's even possible to self-host. Afaik you don't get to Self-Host GitHub unless you are a giant corporation.

Edit: nvm I thought it said "GitHub"

Self-Hosting GitHub is available under the name "GitHub Enterprise", but there is nothing stopping a smaller company from getting an "Enterprise" license. At my job we are running self-hosted GitHub for less than 50 developers.

smaller company

true but then again that isn't quite what I meant with my comment. For an individual looking for a self-hosted forge GitHub just isn't really an option. Pricing aside having to go through a sales channel and then likely not having full control over the software stack is not what individuals look for when they want to host a private git service
