What if you don't want to self host? Who offers low feature git hosting for a small price? Something like the old $7 account before github was bought by MS?

All I want is hosting and a read only web interface, plus access control in case I have collaborators.

All the offerings are enterprise priced because they offer "minutes of CI", "AI assistants" and other icing on the cake.

This is literaly just a bare repo over ssh, and a gitweb interface.

It's too trivial for anyone to be selling that. And I don't think there's a large market for $5-$10 barebones setup when GH is free and you can self host.

Just like pikapods supports running things like actual budget for you - https://actualbudget.org/docs/install/pikapods

Something similar from them or digital ocean or linode or Hetzner would be a win.

Pika does offer Forgejo and Gitea.

		I've used Pikapods to host my Forgejo instance for about a year and have had absolutely no complaints. I use it for small Godot projects and have used the Git plugin in the Godot asset store to connect to it, so I don't even have to leave the editor to make commits or branches.

SourceHut sounds very close to what you describe: https://sr.ht/

		I’ve had my eye on this platform. Generally like their design and ethos too. However I find their code viewer/navigation a little hard for my eye. But maybe I’m just too used to GitHub.

I think Gitlab is probably the best option, or gitea. Personally I'm not a fan of Codeberg - I think their licensing is a mess.

Which licensing?

		Their filter for projects being on their site is "we'll know it when we see it",

SourceHut is good, and despite you not wanting to self host, self hosting a git repo is one of the easiest things to self host

Just hosting the code is hard now, right? The hosting company is signing up for a battle against infinite-appetite scraping organizations.

Unfortunately all the current managed offerings aren't very good. I'm still wondering why nobody starts a new startup

There are multiple alternatives to Github for example Gitlab, Codeberg or sourcehut
