I don't want to use GitHub ... what would you recommend?

I write a lot of small scripts, and because of ... reasons ... I've never put them in a repository or made them available.

Recently I've been asked multiple times if a thing I've talked about is available, so I want to explore having a publicly accessible repository.

But I really, really don't want to use GitHub.

What would people suggest as an alternative for making small scripts available for wider use, and to allow people to contribute mods?

Gitea (Github clone in Go) is easy to deploy.
