People should leave GitHub and move to CodeBerg — It is GIT, but in Germany, Europe, for better digital sovereignty, privacy, and no AI.

@NetscapeNavigator open source only, though.
Great if that's appropriate for your use case (I just used it for Global Game Jam) but not universally applicable.
If you're not producing something open source, there is always Forgejo -- That's CodeBerg, but self-hosted, which means you can run anything you like.
You're looking for your cake and eat it too. That is no longer possible. You either accept that both GitHub and GitLab now use AI and no longer care about your privacy, or you choose something else.
@NetscapeNavigator you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say a damn thing about Gitlab or Github.
As it happens, I pulled all of my stuff off there a while back, and recently settled on Bitbucket for private usage, as I considered their AI policy reasonable (ie they swear not to use your code to train AI).
I'm merely pointing out that there are no simple solutions, and merely saying "use Codeberg" or "host it yourself" are not one-size-fits-all solutions.
@Hyperlynx @NetscapeNavigator There's also options like worktree.ca, which is running on a heavily modified fork of gitea. Private repos are supported, there's free and paid repos, GHA-compatible CI/CD, etc.
All hosted in Canada. They're working towards running purely on "sovereign" infrastructure without any foreign/US-owned cloud providers, too, if that matters to you.
