Posted this in another sub, but thought maybe would post here for a little more coverage

    Yeah I’m thinking of moving all my stuff off of GitHub. It’s nothing special just code that I personally use, but GitHub has been feeling more and more “unsavory” since Microsoft bought them.

    The alternatives I can think of are GitLab/BitBucket (though they might suffer from the the same problem), gitea instances like codeberg.org, git.sr.ht but I don’t want to use the site without paying for it

      sourcehut is really nice tbh. if the cost is prohibitive of course don’t go for it, but i was hesitant for a while before finally moving over to it and it’s definitely worth it, especially if you’re more of a CLI-type person. the workflow integrates nicely vs GUI. i’m just a hobbyist though so i’ve never used any “hub” to the full extent of its capabilities but everything i’ve done with it has been great

      There’s also darcs? But I don’t know enough about these things to really say which is better. GitLab seems to be the most popular after github. I think you can self host as well, but that’s another set of problems to deal with.

        Darcs is a version control system. It’s an alternative to git rather than GitHub.

          correct…just throwing it out there as an alternative

    Have you considered blockchain based solutions?

    Also it’s hard to go wrong with cgit for self hosting.
