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.

    So either Codeberg, Sourcehut or Gitlab ??

    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

    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.

    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...

    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.

    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.
