There are so many other code hosting platforms out there! There's Gitlab, Gitea, Gogs, Cgit and Gitweb. Hell, you don't even need a code hosting repository!

If you can't self-host and don't want to trust third-party platforms, just use Git's git-format-patch command and submit changes by email. Having a single large megacorp whose primary business model is diametrically opposed to free software being the largest code host for free software is almost too dumb. Micro$oft is the worst possible entity to entrust to run the platform where you manage development of your free software projects. If you're using GitHub to host your code, migrate elsewhere immediately. # Other Code Repositories -If you choose to migrate to Gitlab.com, that's still pretty centralized since it's one of the largest code hosting platforms. But at least Gitlab doesn't require non-free JavaScript, its backend is fully free and it's not owned by Micro$oft. Also, self-hosting is very easy if you have the resources. I recommend reading the GNU repo criteria evaluation page before you make your choice where to migrate: +If you choose to migrate to GitLab.com, that's still pretty centralized since it's one of the largest code hosting platforms.
