GitHub does not offer a self-hosting option. There is GitLab which does have 
self-hosting but not on z/OS.

Only the git client runs on z/OS under OMVS and there are two options for that 
- Rocket Software or z/OS Open Tools.

you have git on your z/OS system?

Is there a guide to installing and using github on z/OS?  Or perhaps any 
gotchas?
