Replace github with https://codeberg.org/
I can always get behind a more open platform, but what is the appeal of codeburg over github?
EDIT: gitlab is also an option. Many companies use it internally and you can also have external accounts
"Decentralised control: Unlike GitHub, Codeberg is not owned by a single company, which means that the platform is not subject to centralised control. Instead, it is run by a non-profit organisation that is dedicated to providing a community-driven approach to software development."
"GitHub Inc (GitHub), a subsidiary of Microsoft Corp, is a software development platform."
This makes no sense to me. It's owned by the non-profit company. It's just as if not more centralized as GitHub as Microsoft is a publicly traded company with millions of owners and GitHub's infrastructure is deployed globally. I like codeberg but decentralized it is not.
