Which git plateform to choose? (lemmy.zip)

Hi, I want to self host a git service to display my work (electronics) for some recruiters. Which platform is the best? I've heard about Gitlab, Gitea and Forgejo. For me the fact that the platform doesn't run some background analytics and does not sell my data is very important.

what format are your files in? if you want to show schematic previews from like gerber files i think you need something like a file store instead of git.

that's a good point, but the tool I use allow to convert schematic into pdf which is maybe easier to show as a preview. Anyway I use kicad and Altium format.

git isn't really made for binary files either. i understand the desire if you're already using it for source control but if not i'd recommend looking at something else.
