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

Re the GitLab marketing: what does it mean, what toolchains are they referring to, and what is "native AI"? Does that even mean anything, or is it just marketing gibberish to impress executives?

*scrolls down*

GitLab Duo named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for AI Code Assistants.

[eternal screaming]

“beware, for I am a leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™” is exactly the kind of thing I’d expect an evil wizard to scream moments before I hit him in the head with a mace
