Git doesn’t provide public accounts.

There are a number of *proprietary web services* that offer Git hosting, but 
don’t conflate the two concepts: by offering up your content to those services, 
you’re buying into a certain amount of lock-in.

For example, GitHub “issues” aren’t part of the Git repo they host for you, so 
cloning it doesn’t get you a copy of those issues, and pushing that repo up to 
a competing service doesn’t restore those in its equivalent issue tracking 
system.

Fossil doesn’t have that problem.  It’s [all-in-one][1].  If you clone one of 
my repos and I later disappear, you can stand your clone right back up on your 
own substrate.

As well, there are [many ways][2] to set up a public Fossil server yourself.  
My own public Fossil instances run on the cheapest bare-bones VPS instance my 
provider offers, and I’m still vastly underutilizing the power they give me for 
my $5/month.  

That VPS currently serves four separate Fossil repos, handles my domain’s 
email, serves the static parts of my web site, serves my photo gallery, and 
probably does a few other things I’ve forgotten about since setting them up.
