I still say that mixing CI/CD with code/version control hosting is a mistake.

At it's absolute best, everything just works silently, and you now have vendor lock-in with whichever proprietary system you chose.

Switching git hosting providers should be as easy as changing your remotes and pushing. Though now a days that requires finding solutions for the MR/PR process, and the wiki, and all the extra things your team might have grown to rely on. As always, the bundle is a trap.

I don't think any of this was a mistake ;) Lock-in was by design.

I mean, not necessarily proprietary right? There are OSS solutions like forgejo that make it pretty simple, at least as simple as running a git system and a standalone CI system
