Is there something like GitHub, but without big tech involvement, no data collection, no ads, open source, and preferably decentralized (maybe Fediverse or even P2P)?

I self-host forgejo, it’s one of the easiest systems I self-host.

But which features other than a plain git repo are you looking for? That will mostly determine your options. There are tons of git repos, and even just a plain git repo on a server with an ssh tunnel is enough if you don’t need anything beyond that.

+1 for forgejo

The only requirement of yours it doesn’t hit is “decentralized”, since you’d likely be self-hosting it. If you’re looking to host git repos, you’re likely technical enough to fire up a foregjo container in Docker and go wild with it. Just make sure you have a plan for backups, and you’re good.

Theyr’re working on the federation too.
