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

All good, I was using gitea until I recently found out about forgejo. Plus they have a good migration guide if you’d like to switch 🙂
