My first idea was to use the Gitea instance of the Free Software Foundation Europe, but T&Cs strongly encourage only projects with direct relation to the FSFE activities, so personal projects don’t seem welcome.

The first-party Gitea platform seems to be in risk of becoming for-profit.

    It might not be a solution for everyone, but you can self host a git repository on your static site!

    stagit is a static git site generator. It is lean, you can self host it even of the cheapest of shared hosting and it makes code browseable via html, which is a plus for sharing and receiving suggestions/contributions.

    For a relatively small, low bandwith project it is a charm. As an example, here are my repositories.

      I like the concept and the aesthetics, but I guess you still need to run a git server?

        Nope! Little known to people, you just need to locally clone your repository with --bare and upload that. You will see you can clone it even if you don’t have a git server!

        It is a very slick, minimalist solution.

    Selfhosting Forgejo is a good solution, especially since federation via ActivityPub will be available soonish.

    Codeberg is nice (and will join the federation), but they are getting a bit too big and are having some scaling problems.

    I am also working on a Forgejo code hosting site over at https://f-hub.org but it isn’t really open for public yet (I am willing to on-board people interested in contributing to running the site though). The idea is to launch it together with the availability of the Forgejo federation.

      Sounds pretty intresting, link to a discussion?
