Codeberg is only an alternative for FOSS software.
Most of my GitHub stuff for example is private client projects that I cannot simply publish. They don’t provide much value to others and might contain proprietary code. The same goes for private half finished side projects that I‘m sure most people have on their accounts. Codeberg is simply not the right place for this.
You’re right, but neither is Github. You don’t want your proprietary code on some corporate platform. A self-hosted git server is the way to go for that.
The strength of platforms like Codeberg and Github lies in having a large userbase who can access your project to post issues, contribute code etc. No point in using them for things like private repos.
Time for a European GitHub?
Already exists: Codeberg

If it’s private code why not have a private git repository?
Then you host a Forgejo instance if you want to to have private repos
The right place for that is a private forgejo instance. Why put private data on somebody else’s computer?
Why not? I thought they support private repos as well as public ones
And I just happened to notice today that Gentoo are moving that way.
I enjoy the social aspect of GitHub. Follow the projects my friends are working on. Time for a federated Forgejo?
