It's a little lower in the article

  • Alternative Hosting Services:

  • Self-Host (or join a group that self-hosts). A few options:

    • Gitea
    • GitLab Community Edition (note, the GitLab Enterprise Edition, which >is provided to the public on gitlab.com, is (like GitHub) >trade-secret, proprietary, vendor-lock-in software)
    • SourceHut

Let's not forget Forgejo, a fork of Gitea. Self-hosted. It's CodeBerg's backend.
