When LibreOffice developer Mike Kaganski attempted to send an email to the productivity suite's developer mailing list using a Hotmail address this week, he discovered that his...
Anyone who has projects on Github they care about, you might wanna move it to self-hosting or another git host while you still can, because once MS gets tired of killing e-mails, Github repos are probably going to start getting sniped next.
If you want to quit Git entirely then Fossil which has a built-in GUI & a fully-fledged alternative to both Git & Github & is self-hostable or Darcs/Pijul which are Patch-oriented
It’s also relatively easy to just self-host Git, though permissions can be wonky, at least last time I tried.
I can’t recommend Darcs. Luckily I don’t see MS (or any other corp) being able to take over core Git development. I really should try Pijul again, but least time I played with it, the history/branch visualization (which you can do without, but I really like to have) was actually still worse than Darcs.

Even if you stay on GitHub, definitely mirror to another host. Git is designed to be distributed, why not make use of that capability!
So either Codeberg, Sourcehut or Gitlab ??

codeberg is owned by a nonprofit. highly recommend it
I host my main repository on my “lab server” at home, I got a copy on codeberg, and my public repo are mirrored on github.
I specify in the github description that’s a mirror with a link to codeberg.
Github is the little outcast kid of the bunch…
They probably meant purely self hosted. You can self hosted Gitea, Forgejo, GitLab, and probably many others.
git (by itself) is no harder to host than SSH.
I wouldn’t say it is particularly easy to setup, not easier than using a Docker image at least.
Gitea (and hopefully Forgejo as well) really is.
I can vouch for Forgejo, it is pretty easy.
Self-hosted GitLab is what GNOME and Debian chose to do.
I still use the main GitLab for most things.
https://repo.or.cz/ provides just git hosting.

Or self-host if that’s feasible, MAS has been self-hosting for a while now, for example.
Oh man, I hate the whole git system so much, it was like the worst part of coding.
