Research direction

Start with book/04-git-server/sections/hosted.asc and the “Third Party Hosted Options” subsection. Check the archived GitHosting link and research an appropriate current destination for the up-to-date list of hosted Git options. Done means the source points to a valid, relevant page and the outdated archive reference is removed or replaced.
