There is nothing wrong with github. It is fully featured and free to use. It's just not for me. Github has changed design and features over the last year and the number of things I could ignore is now adding up to something I don't want to ignore any more.
What cloud-based code-hosting service do you guys us? I'll check them all out. Thanks.

Re: What to use if not github?
I have used Bitbucket, but it is not better in any way. It would be good if there was a decentralized option as I don't trust the large enterprise solutions like GitHub.
Re: What to use if not github?
Self-hosting? Like, host your own instance of gitlab as gnome devs do with their gnome.gitlab
As for alternatives, https://codeberg.org/ might work, but I think they have slow servers because sometimes to load some pages there I need ranging from 10 seconds to 1 minute.
And gitlab https://gitlab.com/ (which is banned for me, sad face)
Re: What to use if not github?
I've used GitHub for God knows how long. I did think of moving away from it after Microsoft bought it but have had experience with both BitBucket and GitLab from work and found them to be pretty crap. I'm also interested to hear if anyone knows of a hidden gem source control provider.
Re: What to use if not github?
I use https://codeberg.org these days the most. I still use https://notabug.org/ but they are far behind in gitea features.
Re: What to use if not github?
codeberg requires git?
It is also for open source software but then lets you have a private repository. ??
edit: codeberg can be used via browser without git. Clunky - but do able.

Re: What to use if not github?
Thank you for the suggestion
I like that GitLab can be installed locally although it doesn't appear to be 100% free/open source. Running your own Git server is an attractive option for people like me who already have a website/server.
Re: What to use if not github?
If you don't use git, you're making a serious mistake. It pays off to learn to use it.
Codeberg supports private repositories but only if you're writing free software and planning to publish it as open source in the future, or if necessary for an open source project. I advise you to read the terms of use before starting. In particular, § 2.(1).2 speaks about when and how private repositories are allowed.
Gitea can also be installed locally. There are a number of Gitea instances around, some public, many of them for private use; for example https://git.unarelith.net/Unarelith/OpenMiner is a private one that I have collaborated on. AFAIK, Gitea is 100% free open source.
Re: What to use if not github?
I looked at the Gitea live demo and it is quite impressive - it looks almost exactly like GitHub. Thank you, I will definitely keep an eye on Gitea.
