https://codeberg.org open source GitHub without Microsoft (it's a German non-profit). You can also host your own lightweight https://forgejo.org instance

In case anyone questions whether centralizing literally everything onto GitHub is a good idea, at least as a mirror for things you depend on

gitea is also a great self hosted alternative!

I think that's what Forgejo forked from (and Gitea, in turn, forked from Gogs). I am not involved so don't know the details, but yeah basically all of these will do. I ran my own in the Gitea era and was happy with it, 10x lighter and easier than gitlab, I expect Forgejo has a similar experience.
