I am very happy to see this. Phabricator is an incredibly well written and deeply thought-out tool (even if people may disagree with some of its philosophies regarding e.g. patches and code review) and it had a tremendous influence on my career and the way I thought about managing and contributing to software projects. I say that as someone with a few patches in Phabricator itself.

I hope Phorge is just as successful and retains that levity and unique polish that Phab had; looks like a lot of the old guard contributors are around as part of this, so I'm very hopeful. Maybe I should spin up some of my old patches for things like WebAuthn support and re-submit them...



Me too. I was just looking for something last week as a good on-prem solution. Phabricator was the first thing I looked at but quickly discovered it was "dead."

For what it is worth, GitLab and GitHub both do an absolutely terrible job of selling to someone where cloud isn't an option.


You are aware that GitLab is MIT licensed and self-hosting is a strongly supported use case, right? Maybe I misunderstood the "selling" verb there


It is near impossible to find on their website, and any comparisons I could find on the site highlight a mass of missing features.

I honestly couldn't even figure out how to buy an on-prem license.

If you go to the pricing page[0] and click the “Buy GitLab <tier>” you’re interested in purchasing (Premium or Ultimate), a pop up will appear and you can purchase an on-prem license by clicking the “Purchase self-managed” button.
