[repost] Best GitHub Alternative? (lemmy.ml)

My account was flagged because I forked and contributed to the project Eaglercraft, and that means my account is basically useless. I have had enough of Microsoft's exploitation of power and want to switch to another alternative.

I tried GitLab, but I need to signup with a credit card and I am not comfortable giving my personal info out.
I tried Gitea and the experience is great, but I am limited to 5 repos. I tried Source Forge, but I cannot verify my phone number when creating a repo. The prompt just returns an API error.

What other alternative should I try?

Are you looking for a git server like GitHub, gitlab? Or are you just trying to use git to manage your repos?

I use git to manage repos on my PC's directory. I don't need to collaborate with others. So I don't need to push it to anywhere.

I back it up same as any other files.

If you are like me, you don't need to use any of the online service. A local repo is absolutely sufficient
