How much of your code do you feel like entrusting to Microsoft? How about American data centers? Here's an easy way to jump ship and maintain operations.

“It’s just possible that you, a sentient being with active sensory input, have cause for concern about the security of data hosted both in the United States and by Microsoft. GitHub has been ubiquitous and indispensable for technologists. But maybe it’s time to reconsider that status.”

    Can I use private repositories for my project?

    In many cases, yes, but please read on. Our goal is to support Free Content, and we do not act as a private hosting for everyone! However, if we see that you contribute to Free Software / Content and the ecosystem, we allow up to 100 MB of private content for your convenience. Further exceptions are spelled out in our Terms of Service:

    Private repositories are only allowed for things required for FLOSS projects, like storing secrets, team-internal discussions or hiding projects from the public until they’re ready for usage and/or contribution.

    If you are still not sure if your usage is allowed or if you require a lot of private space for a Free Software project, please send us a formal request and we’ll have a look.

    So if you use a GitHub private repository to store some private data, e.g. your bash config or home server setup, Codeberg is not the right replacement. Any European alternatives?
