Need free long-term git hosting

[nuncio.bitis at outlook.com]

Hello -
I recently read a news article that brought me to the Give-Up-GitHub page. I had almost forgotten that Microsoft bought out GitHub recently, even though it's clear the platform is heading down a commercial proprietary route. The description of Copilot is enough to get me off that site because I don't like the idea of my code being used commercially regardless of whatever license is specified in my projects.

Background: I don't have a team of software engineers. It's just me. I've been using GitHub to host my projects to be seen by prospective employers and also as examples of good software practice. Basically this translates to my projects being hosted as a Professional Portfolio to show my skills and for others to learn.
Like giving someone your resume in PDF form, it's easier to point them to my online repositories rather than carry code printouts to interviews.

I've already added a README addendum to my projects' README files. Now I just need to settle on a good simple free git hosting platform.
So far I'm seeing (in no particular order):

  1.  GitLab
  2.  BitBucket
  3.  Codeberg
  4.  Heptapod

I'm open to other suggestions. I'm looking for a long-term solution, and I don't care if they're widely-known because I put the links to my projects on my LinkedIn page.
