I mainly just use bare SSH and/or point my web server to my repos as I don’t really need a whole UI for stuff I’m pretty much the only one that will ever use it.

I feel like it’s a git feature that’s often overlook by those that have only used to GitHub/GitLab/Gitea before. Git was originally designed to just be a folder on a server you have SSH access (read-write) or HTTP(S) access (read-only).

I’ve used Gogs and Gitea in the past but found it overkill for my needs.

Exactly what I do. Unless you need fancier collaboration features–issue tracker, UI for handling PRs, etc–a bare repo on the other side of ssh plus something like cgit if you want to make the code available via a browser is perfectly sufficient.

Gitea.

I used raw SSH for years but occasionally I had to share accesss to a repo with sonebody else, and the whole dance with creating an unix user and giving proper permissions was only fun for the first time.

I second it.

Easy to setup and use. Works great for my small game projects.

To make this easiert, you could have used gitolite 🙃 That was my first attempt in 2010 or something and it worked fine.

I started on Gitlab, which was a monster to run. I moved to Gitea, until the developers started doing some questionable things. Now I’m on Forgejo (a fork of Gitea).

Can you elaborate on what questionable things they did? I am thinking of hosting my own gitea instance

Thank you for the resource that’s really unfortunate to read. Are there any major differences between gitea bad forgejo? If not I will probably go with forgejo then
