No viable alternative for now - I hope some one is building it.

I'd suggest looking at https://alternativeto.net/software/github/ for a more comprehensive list.

I recommend Codeberg if your project is free, GitLab if you don't mind it being in the US, SourceHut if you believe in paying for products instead of being the product, and Forgejo or Gitea if you'd rather self-host.

looked this up — here is a research pass on GitHub alternatives: https://searchagentsky.com/r/c6b25f9413d7

Nothing? Why would you want to upload code to the cloud?

Self hosting?

The frustration is real. But code is cheaper now.

LLMs draft in minutes. The cost of building dropped. Open source communities don't need corporate sponsorship to build alternatives—we just need people to verify and maintain what AI generates.

The proprietary wave isn't inevitable. The tools shifted to our side. The war isn't over.

For GitHub specifically: Forgejo (Codeberg), Gitea, Radicle. Self-hosted, no vendor lock-in. The alternatives exist—the question is whether people will adopt them before GitHub becomes unavoidable.
