Use locally installed Gitea. I only use Github for public forks and nothing else. Personal projects are all on private Gitea.

Not to add to the noise, but I've switched to Forgejo. It was very easy to migrate (as Forgejo is just a fork of Gitea, even has references to Gitea in a lot of places, like env variable names), and I've been very happy with it for the past ~6 months.

What is changed in Forgejo compared to Gitea? If the only difference is the name, Gitea is a better name.

Gitea have moved the product from a community governed product to an open core one and handed over the gitea.com domain to a hosted services vendor

They did the same accidentally to the co-founder https://twitter.com/defunkt/status/1754610843361362360 Once I'd seen that, I doubled down on my self hosted GitLab and never looked back. GitHub can be a mirror for public good, but it's no castle I want to be a prisoner of.

Wow, I really hate the github's response here. They admitted that it shouldn't have been banned but provided no explanation. Mistakes do happen but being not open about it removes any benefit of doubt and portrays fucking up is normal part of operation for them.
