[repost] Best GitHub Alternative?
My account was flagged because I forked and contributed to the project Eaglercraft, and that means my account is basically useless. I have had enough of Microsoft's exploitation of power and want to switch to another alternative.
I tried GitLab, but I need to signup with a credit card and I am not comfortable giving my personal info out.
I tried Gitea and the experience is great, but I am limited to 5 repos.
I tried Source Forge, but I cannot verify my phone number when creating a repo. The prompt just returns an API error.
What other alternative should I try?
What's your end goal? Are you wanting to contribute to existing repos? Do you need somewhere to host your FOSS projects for others to contribute? Do you just need somewhere to backup your personal projects? Or ..?
Reason I ask, is you could look at self hosting, but you would only be able to access your repos at home.
For GitLab, you can decline to provide a CC/DC. If you do decline, you just won’t be able to use their build pipeline services.
try gitcode.com its basically github only for china you will need a translator but it does literally everything that github does only without microsoft
