Low cost software organization for open source projects: Source Code Version Control System

There's no way you can think of developing any product and not use any Control Version System at all, too many benefits at a really low cost.

Requirements for our CVS would be as follow:

• High Availability
• Backup
• Public repositories for our open source projects.
• Private repositories for (maybe) some private configuration data.
• Accessible 
• Git, it's the industry standard right now and it'll cover your software requirements 99.99% of times.

And the possible options come in two different buckets

• Self-Hosted:
• Seriously do you think a tiny company can support the complexity (and maybe cost if you use the cloud) of backing up a hosted repository and keeping it open to anywhere else?

As a service:

• Github:
• Popular and ticks almost all the requirements, except for free private repositories. I'm using github for my opensource project, yes.
• BitBucket:
• Ticks all the boxes as well, plus a number of free private repositories, enough for some sensitive information we might want to store. I'm using bitbucket as well for my Jenkins configuration auto-backup.

So, as first step in our new low cost organization for open source projects, I'd recommend BitBucket with the information I have today.
