    codeberg is such an obvious choice, i have no idea why people don't immediately switch from GitHub

    They don't allow for private repos, so it's a non-starter for companies unless they want to self-host.

    What? All my codeberg repos are private.

    If you do not want anyone (apart from your fellow collaborators) to see your repositories, mark your repository as "Private".

    There are terms and conditions for private people too regarding this (read next two sections): https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#before-i-start-using-codeberg

    I love codeberg but can't move my private, non-foss repos there. FOSS repos for sure though.

    it's very understandable though, and 100MB is a lot of data

    Yeah no I'm not complaining about their decision. Quite happy about it! I just comment this in every "github alternative" comment section when codeberg is brought up for the sake of codeberg too because we don't want to flood them with people who would also set up private repos that break their ToS.

    I have an account and contribute on Codeberg but keep my private, non FOSS/not-sure-of-license-yet repos somewhere else (currently gitlab).

    Check out Forgejo, it's what codeberg uses as far as im aware. They're the only ones even attempting to put the fediverse into git

    Don't know if GitLab counts as alternative (it has no bullshit according to Brave Shields, and AFAIK they're independent)

    Selfhosted Gitea ?

    Radicle is really worth checking out https://radicle.xyz/

    I recently came across another forgejo instance: https://lavaforge.org/. Seems decent.

    Probably codeberg, or gitea instance somewhere

    https://radicle.xyz/ is not fediverse, but P2P

    I run my own Gitea instance at https://git.benetou.fr/ but I admit didn't look much at the federated aspect, yet.

    Sadly I just checked https://forum.gitea.com/c/federation/10 and despite few attempts, e.g. https://nlnet.nl/project/Gitea/ and eventually potentially upstreaming via forgejo https://forgejo.org/2023-01-10-answering-forgejo-federation-questions/#will-gitea-also-gain-federation that does not seem to be usable right now.

    I'm checking https://forgefed.org/ which I learned about via checking federation on Gitea and it looks nice, in theory, but until I see an actual list of instances federated together I'll just applaud the effort from afar.

    Same as in the other thread, I'm going to recommend fossil-scm.org

    Works for me.

    Fossil requires its own download client (not git) and like the other guy said Forgejo only accepts certain licenses, Gitea is Google which is obviously a no-go.

    Gogs abandoned, Kallithea abandoned.

    Realistically that leaves GitBucket https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket and Tuleap https://docs.tuleap.org/install.html
