What is the easiest way to have a self hosted git server? (lemmy.world)

I've been recently dabbling on rust, and I am have been mostly doing that on my laptop. However, I also have a desktop and once in a while I would like to resume my stuff from the laptop, but without manual file transfers.

I know git by design does this, but I would like to use my current docker setup with Ubuntu server to have a very simple git server.

What would be the simplest git server to have in this situation? Keep in mind I am not planning to expose none of this to the internet

gitea has been replaced by forgejo

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 7 points 9 months ago

You are correct, and I am still a bit sad about it, because gitea was a cuter name and logo TBH. But Forgejo is pursuing a technically superior design and socially better path at this point.

I think Forgejo is a community-driven fork of Gitea. Gitea development is still active.

forgejo is implementing federation and gitea is not https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/ if you dont care that its community based, federation is the only thing i could tell you

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I love federation, but why does a git server need federation? Am I missing something, or is this federating for the sake of federating?

You can make like a account on Codeberg and open issues on other git servers it's not useful for developers it's user friendly why is UX bad in your opinion?

Look at the number of commits

Churn != Improvement

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago

Not necessarily

Notice Forgejo is being hosted on Forgejo. The community behind it is much stronger while Gitea is some startup that is desperately trying to be relevant.

[–] Zeoic@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why is that? The project still seems to be available / updating

[–] artiman@piefed.social 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

it's been forked Into forgejo a community driven fork if you don't care that they are community based, they are also implementing federation
