But after exploring some options for small but private and personal repos (not foss; not yet at least) I realised I am better off with a free Github private repo. There simply isn't a feasible free alternative for such a use-case without hitting, often a 50MB to say few 100s MB, the limit ASAP. There's gitlab.com, bitbucket (? haven't opened it in ages) but those are not better in any way for use cases like mine.

Are there any?
