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 right, but it's FOSS only. No private repos. That's not a bad thing in and of itself, but it's not for everyone. It doesn't suit my needs, as it happens, but I wish it every success.

@Hyperlynx huh? You can put private repos on there just fine

@Hyperlynx ah I just found their rules here: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/src/branch/main/TermsOfUse.md

I suppose that might not work for some commercial projects indeed. But you can always host your own Forgejo if you wanted 😁
