My first idea was to use the Gitea instance of the Free Software Foundation Europe, but T&Cs strongly encourage only projects with direct relation to the FSFE activities, so personal projects don’t seem welcome.
The first-party Gitea platform seems to be in risk of becoming for-profit.
FLOSS dedicated Git hosting in Germany, it’s a Gitea instance AFAIK.
Okay, that sounds like it hits the spot. I’ll read up on them. Happy to hear testimonials for existing users.
It might not be a solution for everyone, but you can self host a git repository on your static site!
stagit is a static git site generator. It is lean, you can self host it even of the cheapest of shared hosting and it makes code browseable via html, which is a plus for sharing and receiving suggestions/contributions.
For a relatively small, low bandwith project it is a charm. As an example, here are my repositories.

I like the concept and the aesthetics, but I guess you still need to run a git server?
Nope! Little known to people, you just need to locally clone your repository with --bare
and upload that. You will see you can clone it even if you don’t have a git server!
It is a very slick, minimalist solution.
I can recommend Sourcehut, it’s still free right now: sourcehut.org You will need to learn how to use Git with email, but that isn’t a bad skill to have anyway, so why not.
