I’m looking to self-host a GitHub alt on a cheap Linux VPS for personal use. Any rec?

I use gitea, it works fine.
If you just want a remote to push your code to without issues, projects, pull requests and such you can use git only: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server
If you don’t need the web interface and just want a feature rich git server I recommend Soft Serve. It has a really cool ssh TUI as well.
Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

I personally use Gitea. It’s really nice, and it stays out of the way until you need it.
Forgejo vs Gitea 🧐? Considering…
I’d recommend forgejo, it’s a fork of gitea and unlike gitea actually a piece of free software. Gitea is developed (and the gitea.io site operated) by Gitea Limited. Whether or not that’s a problem is up to you but I’d just like to highlight GitLab’s recent move(s) to repeatedly increase subscription/hosting costs by various means as a potential future of Gitea. Forgejo is mainly developed by Codeberg e.V. which is a non-profit so enshittification is somewhat less likely.
