So... I think it's high time to start planning an exodus.

Is there a good alternative to GitHub?

I have two types of repos, a few public open-source projects for which I require:

Basic git stuff ofc, PRs, forks, etc.
Issues
Automatic scanning for security vulnerabilities like GH does
CI on PRs and nightly CRON based, free and allowing both cloud-hosted runners and adding self-hosted runners
Ability to host a static documentation site

Plus private ones where I don't need any bells and whistles, just a git hoster for myself and no one else.

Is there something free that provides these things and doesn't suck? If I go to GitLab's page then it says:

so that's fucked too now, huh

oh GitLab is terrible on several levels and is definitely best avoided — for some reason, they think that competing with github involves making all of github’s mistakes, but with a much worse UI

so far I’ve had good luck with codeberg. of your requirements, the only missing feature seems to be vulnerability scanning. CI is available and pretty good, but you have to ask for it to be enabled for your account. I think you’re able to hook self-hosted runners into codeberg’s CI frontend, but the process to do so confused the hell out of me, so you may have to dig a bit to figure out how it works.
