Codeberg
Non-profit, community-run Git hosting for free and open-source projects.
Overview
Codeberg is a non-profit, community-run Git hosting for free and open-source projects. It handles non-profit, gitea-based, pages, and woodpecker ci, and it's best suited for open-source projects wanting non-corporate git hosting. It has been around since 2019, giving it a 7-year head start in building out integrations and refining the product.
The core product is entirely free. Since it's open-source, you can self-host for free with no user limits.

Weaknesses
