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 self-host Forgejo and then also push to Codeberg.

Bitbucket, GitLab, and Gittea are too corporate. They'll turn into SlopHub if given the chance.

Codeberg is a non-profit. And it's growing. There are already big projects like Librewolf, Zig, Guix, and Comaps on Codeberg.
