As a newbie to the tech world what are some of the more popular alternatives to GitHub and why? I know Mitchell mentions alternatives in the article but he’s yet to decide where he’s headed if I understood correctly.

Most people run to GitLab or Codeberg. The real loss is network effect of everyone being on GitHub.

GitLab: most similar to GitHub. Repos, CI/CD, issues. Hosted or self-host

Codeberg: free, non-profit, FOSS-friendly. Runs Forgejo. Where Zig went

Forgejo / Gitea: lightweight, self-host on a small server

Bitbucket: fine if you're already in Atlassian/Jira land

Sourcehut: minimalist, email-patch workflow. Fast but a culture shift

Radicle: peer-to-peer, no central server. Niche, principled

Tangled: newer, built on ATProto
