I haven't used it myself yet, but there's Codeberg

I just checked Gitlab’s website and it explicitly says “No credit card required” for the free tier. Maybe you registered for the wrong tier?
Isn’t Gitea self hosted? What limits you to 5 repos?
I think the OP is looking for something remote hosted.
Sorry, I'm out of the loop. What did the OP do that caused grief with GitHub?
He contributed to a Minecraft ripoff. Which is Microsoft's ip nowadays.
Based on the fact that the project uses branding for "Mojang" and "Minecraft", it seems like 100% IP infrigngement.... I don't see how OP thinks GitHub is the problem here.
Some people just don't like the idea of IP protection at all I guess. Or just don't like when they face the repercussions of their own actions.
I am self-hosting forgejo. This is a gitea fork that focus on provide a federated github if you want.
It works flawlessly with minimal amount of resources.
I have two GitLab accounts and I've never given a credit card. That may be something new they're doing to try to reduce the number of spam accounts signing up. You could use a Privacy.com card, put in whatever name and address you want.
In any case, if you're looking at sites which host your repos, you're gonna have to deal with them being able to deny you service at any time. No way around it.
I'm considering hosting a gitea instance myself, only accessible over tailscale. But I've got to keep my Githib up because I maintain a few Zsh plugins.
GitLab started requiring a credit card because they got flooded with people using CI to mine crypto.

Codeberg is solid and really opensource
Credit card signup? Since when?
You can self host GitLab CE for free.
Depending on your use case, you can just host from git itself on your machine. Git was built for distribution from the start, and come with a server: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Git-Daemon
Codeberg
codeberg.org is the way to go. They forked gitea (after gitea went private/sellout) and are working on adding activitypub (the protocol that runs the fediverse) to their fork.
If you don't mind self hosting, I've used Gitea. There are no limits if you self host. I've also heard good things about self hosted Gitlab. If your looking for something remotely hosted like GitHub, though, I'm afraid I don't know of any free services I would trust.
Sounds like it’s time to get a bitbucket account
God, I hope that you're being sarcastic.
It’s not my first choice either, but something tells me it’s preferable to sourceforge
Printing everything out at the end of each day is preferable to sourceforge
