Anyone using a Version Control system to do 3d design work, if I was smart I would be using this for the stuff I design to 3d print. But I'm not so I just have directories full of STL and 3MF files with occasionally somewhat descriptive names. Oh or 3d artists working on games, videos etc. People who are doing architectural design? Just people with other random interests? I suck at staying organised but I gave Forgejo a go and as long as you follow the getting started guide and keep it on an internal network its pretty straightforward to get started, complexity goes up if you are wanting to use it externally or in more co.plicated scenarios I believe.
To echo my other answer, I'm sure I could get it running, I just dislike using tools that are significantly more complex than I need.
I use Gitea and all it manages are my docker configs and backup scripts. Simple to install via docker and then its just git. Haven't had to do anything fancy.
