In the wake of the “GitHub CEO stepped down, no longer independent” news, I’m reminded that not enough people know about @Codeberg — free Git hosting run by a non-profit organization.
No tracking, no ads, no corporate buyout risk. Just open-source, community-driven software hosting.

@lutzhuehnken Huh. Interesting. I guess their FAQ must be out of date
https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#how-about-private-repositories%3F
It reads:
Codeberg's mission is to promote free/libre software. Keeping software private is obviously not our primary use case, but we acknowledge that private repositories are useful or necessary at times.
The rules of thumb are:
If you are a contributor to free/libre software projects, we allow up to 100 MB of private content for your convenience. Use it for your personal notes, your side project or any other you want to keep private.
I need more clarification on this rule!
If your private content is strictly required for a free/libre software project (like team-internal discussions, preparation of security patches, or preparing a release for a limited amount of time), private content will also be tolerated.
If you use more than 100 MB of private storage for the use cases mentioned earlier, please send us a request and we can evaluate it.
If you do not contribute to any free/libre software project at all, Codeberg is unfortunately not the right place for you. However, check out the alternatives, we're sure you'll find a cozy place for your work.
