I bet there has to be better solutions than github.

  Perfect is the enemy of good. Sure there is, though the most popular alternative (Gitlab, from where I'm seated) IPO'd recently, and we know the effect that tends to have. Our national governments are already pretty comfortable with Microsoft products. Do you know any other git hosts that have persistently proven themselves trustworthy and have superior financial incentives? Otherwise it might be better to focus on the meat of this post

    I'd be happy to focus on the meat of the post, but for completeness, the answer to your question is "The one you run yourselves."

  I bet there are not. A 3rd party willing to host and distribute your code for free without any contractual burdens which already hosts the vast bulk of your audience and the tools they will use. Seems a great idea, rather than spending money to self host or pay a different brand name and all the follow on expenses, for a worse result. Unless you are a government contractor.

    One would think the Danish government could afford to put up a server of their own, either in some computer lab of their own or a rented one at some purveyor of such. Especially as they wouldn't need a very big one, since they don't actually need all the stupid Web bumf that is good only for making naïve developers think git means github. They could just put actual git on it, publish the address, and people can do a git clone on their command line. They're supposed to be developers, right?
