Recently, I can't access any GitHub repositories without having to sign in. This is becoming frustrating.

I'm looking for an alternative to switch to that has good git push/pull speeds (I've visited one which speeds are slow for me).

Any good options? Would one of the following be good?

  • Codeberg
  • Gitlab

Gitea : light and selfhosted

Nah, use Forgejo,

https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/

Forked from Gitea when they went full for-profit

Edit: Forgot to mention, Codeberg is a non-profit hosted instance of Forgejo, so you might already be using it

Shit, I didn't know that ๐Ÿ˜ž

All good, I was using gitea until I recently found out about forgejo. Plus they have a good migration guide if youโ€™d like to switch ๐Ÿ™‚

Yep, running my own instance for years now.

To be fair though Gitea is by default much lighter than alternatives... because it's also minimalist. There are but default no runners, no testing environments, etc that e.g. Gitlab provides.

+1 for Gitea.

I recently set it up on a raspberry pi that was/is sitting mostly idle, in a docker container :)
