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)?

      codeberg is such an obvious choice, i have no idea why people don’t immediately switch from GitHub

        They don’t allow for private repos, so it’s a non-starter for companies unless they want to self-host.

          What? All my codeberg repos are private.

          If you do not want anyone (apart from your fellow collaborators) to see your repositories, mark your repository as “Private”.

            There are terms and conditions for private people too regarding this (read next two sections): https://docs.codeberg.org/getting-started/faq/#before-i-start-using-codeberg

            I love codeberg but can’t move my private, non-foss repos there. FOSS repos for sure though.

              it’s very understandable though, and 100MB is a lot of data

                it’s a lot of code, not a lot of data. If any repo has binary files you’ll most likely need to store it somewhere else as there’s not even an option to pay that used storage.

                Yeah no I’m not complaining about their decision. Quite happy about it! I just comment this in every “github alternative” comment section when codeberg is brought up for the sake of codeberg too because we don’t want to flood them with people who would also set up private repos that break their ToS.

                I have an account and contribute on Codeberg but keep my private, non FOSS/not-sure-of-license-yet repos somewhere else (currently gitlab).

        Because not everyone works on free software (read their FAQ)

        they also have a limit of 100 repos, so I can’t even migrate everything I have on github
