alt Hacker NewsWhat if you don't want to self host? Who offers low feature git hosting for a small price? Something like the old $7 account before github was bought by MS?
All I want is hosting and a read only web interface, plus access control in case I have collaborators.
All the offerings are enterprise priced because they offer "minutes of CI", "AI assistants" and other icing on the cake.

SourceHut is good, and despite you not wanting to self host, self hosting a git repo is one of the easiest things to self host
This is literaly just a bare repo over ssh, and a gitweb interface.
It's too trivial for anyone to be selling that. And I don't think there's a large market for $5-$10 barebones setup when GH is free and you can self host.
I think Gitlab is probably the best option, or gitea. Personally I'm not a fan of Codeberg - I think their licensing is a mess.
Just hosting the code is hard now, right? The hosting company is signing up for a battle against infinite-appetite scraping organizations.
There are multiple alternatives to Github for example Gitlab, Codeberg or sourcehut
Unfortunately all the current managed offerings aren't very good. I'm still wondering why nobody starts a new startup
Are you talking about something like source forge?
just put gitweb and slap cloudflare in front of it
SourceHut sounds very close to what you describe: https://sr.ht/
