26 years ago, on December 28 1999, we migrated the main #curl source code from self-hosted to Sourceforge.

It was the new hot thing. Imagine the idea of a dedicated service devoted to nothing but hosting code!

We then kept the code there for ten years (on CVS). A period when the distributed version control systems really exploded.
