However, unless your organization has a stringent requirement for a self-hosted option or lacks the budget for GitHub Enterprise, we recommend starting with GitHub. GitHub provides all the essential features, an intuitive interface, and integrated AI capabilities. Moreover, your developers are likely already familiar with GitHub, as many use it for personal projects or exploration in their spare time.
