I use Github for many years and want to move all my repos away from it. What is a good alternative, preferably one that is easy to push? Ideally i will be cloning all my repos to hard drive and then just push to whatever service. At first glance, there are many options: Bitbucket, Gitlab, Codeberg, Gitea..etc. I will be self hosting these repos and I prefer longevity, i.e. dont want to wake up one morning to see all repos gone from the site.

You can back up your shit yourself and do e2ee thru gitlab there are a lotta options not a big fan of gitlab just using their shit

If you have a truly gargantuan amount of notes (e.g.orgmode and roam etc) then Git is the way to go for conflict resolution btw
