    Codeberg is FOSS and it's run by a non-profit organization. This makes it a fitting home for open source projects.

    In my opinion the best alternative to "GitHub" as a repo hosting service. Because it is managed by non-profit organization (.org TLD) compared to commercial companies (.com TLD).
