Does CircleCI supports only private git repos from GitHub?

I've only seen GitHub mentioned in the docs but I host my private git repos on my own server (using this http://gogs.io).

If so, are there any plans for other tools like BitBucket, GitLab or any standard git repository?

We have support for other flavors of Git on the roadmap, but for now we are focusing on providing the best possible experience with (public and private) GitHub repos.

Ok, I understand that, and thanks for the quick response!

Would love to see the API support a POST for creating a new build and passing in the project code (or slug url). This would enable the other git providers (Gitlab, BitBucket, Gogs, etc) and 3rd party services/frameworks (e.g. Factor.io) to provide the integration.

We do have an API that supports triggering builds with a POST request, passing in custom parameters, etc. The bigger issue is that we strive for a really rich integration between us and GitHub. For example, we support their status API, link back to PRs/commits from our build page, etc. It's a lot more than just triggering builds.

We do have support for other services planned, but we are focused on the GitHub experience for now.

Sorry for the shameless self advertisement (I'm the CTO) but AFAIK at the moment http://www.bitrise.io/ is the only hosted mobile CI/CD service which supports custom git hosting setup (including self hosted). I'm actually curious if you know about any other service.
