I’d look into the git-maintenance’s prefetch task. From what I understand, that is more or less what you are looking for. Then just run any old http(s) server and clone them from that https://git-scm.com/docs/git-maintenance

There is also writefreely. It is fairly basic, but says it supports “publish[ing] to multiple blogs from one account”. Haven’t really used it, but it looks kinda cool imo

1. Codeberg is fully open source(forgejo) while gitlab has an open source core+community edition but a source available propietary enterprize edition.

2. Codeberg is a nonprofit with no ulterior motives. Gitlab is a publicly traded for profit entity with a goal to make profit

3. This could just be me, but codeberg feels a lot more transparent. When they have outages, they explain why.

4. Super minor, but the codeberg team “self-hosts” their own servers so you only need to trust the one entity rather than additionally trusting the server provider.

I also don’t believe it’s even fully source availiable. There are no build instructions, and you can’t clone all the submodules without signing in to their closed application gitlab instance. If anyone has sucessfully built it from source, please lmk.

Nevermind they did add build instructions since I last checked. Still lmk if anyone’s tested them.

Section 4 is what gets me. Your rights are temporary and revokable meaning the the rest of the license doesn’t matter in the long term

## Section 4: Termination, suspension and variation
1. We may suspend, terminate or vary the terms of this license and any access to the code at any time, without notice, for any reason or no reason, in respect of any licensee, group of licensees or all licensees including as may be applicable any sub-licensees.
