    GotHub is pretty cool, it's from the developers of the Game of Trees project, but git compatible.

      GitLab is the most obvious one. then you have others like: Codeberg that is nonprofit and community driven. Free hosting for open source, EU infrastructure, no tracking, uses Forgejo under the hood. Forgejo is a community fork of Gitea, lightweight, easy to self-host. And also Bitbucket if you already use Jira or Confluence, integration is seamless.

      Hope it helps.

        I'd suggest looking at https://alternativeto.net/software/github/ for a more comprehensive list.

        I recommend Codeberg if your project is free, GitLab if you don't mind it being in the US, SourceHut if you believe in paying for products instead of being the product, and Forgejo or Gitea if you'd rather self-host.

            +1 for Codeberg. I dual-host, on Github in the US and on Codeberg in the land of the free and home of the brave (if you count Ukraine as part of Europe for the latter).

          No viable alternative for now - I hope some one is building it.

            Nothing? Why would you want to upload code to the cloud?

                Have you heard about FLOSS?

                    I guess they are aluding to AI training on your data.

                        Which for some people is fine given your code eventually helps everyone, even though through AI.

                            I only just agree but a close call. I agree because of the smogasbord (SIC?) of open weights.

              Self hosting?
