Microsoft's own hosted platform Visual Studio Team Services is nuetral. It supports hosted and on prem build and deployment agents for Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS. There are easy to use plug ins for building and deploying on both Azure and AWS. You can use Github now for hosted git repositories in VSTS and still use Microsoft's other build and release tools.
Thier Wiki is Markdown based and they have a very visible link that lets you pull down your entire Wiki using git clone.
They also have free private repos, 40 hours of hosted builds, up to five users for free, project management features that are at least as good (or as bad depending on your perspective) as the other project management tools - again free for up to five users. You can also host your own private Nuget, NPM, and Maven feeds for free.
For non open source projects, you can't beat the value. Additional users over 5 are $5 a month.
I think you ascribe different meaning to "neutral" than most others here
I ascribe "neutral" to technology. VSTS supports every major platform/OS and the tools are on par for all of them.
Unfortunately, the company that owns it profits from Windows sales and doesn't profit from any other OS.

By "neutral" people mean politically neutral (as in no affiliation with anybody). There is a big chance Google will start using their own hosting platform again for all their code. Same with other Microsoft competitors.
