It seems designed for like teams of people. They both have like admin interfaces, which I can't ever imagine for my use case.
I'm sure I could get it running, I just dislike using tools that are significantly more complex than I need.
you could try something like cgit, that is the simplest you can get with git frontends I think
Interesting, though this seems to only be a UI, not a server
You don’t need a specific server for bare-bones git server. Just an ssh server is sufficient
I do want it at least clonable over https
Sourcehut is really the only step between just using an ssh server and something like forgejo that I know of.
There's soft serve but it doesn't have a UI
