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

Check out Gitea. It was pretty easy to set up with docker and they have pretty decent docs.

gitea has been replaced by forgejo

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

Look at the number of commits

Churn != Improvement

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 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

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
