I've been using raw Git for a while now. Glad I switched from GitHub for personal projects.
Can't share worth a shit that way, but 90% of my code is highly specific, personal scripts that I just want to maintain history and notes for. And a book I'm writing.
The moment I realized that "SSH login" on hosted git forges like GitHub literally just means "there's a folder on a computer that you're connecting to over SSH" was crazy to me. I realized that there's no need to selfhost gitlab, gitea, forgejo. Just put a folder on user@host in the repos folder, then set the origin url to user@host:~/repos/myrepo
I think there may be some init commands needed before, like git init --bare or something
Yeah, I use personal git repos for most things. But, it's not as convenient if you want to collaborate on something, or if you want to access features like building docker images and having them put into a repo. There's definitely a need for a place for open-source and free software projects to live. And, I personally don't want them on a platform owned by Microsoft.
