Finally, if you really need a full code forge, with issue tracking and everything, what is the simplest, most light-weight code forge you can self-host?

Is it Forgejo? "Lightweight: Forgejo can easily be hosted on nearly every machine. Running on a Raspberry? Small cloud instance? No problem!" https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo

That sounds great to me, but is Forgejo simple enough that I won't regret taking on the maintenance burden? Is there something even faster?

To avoid self-hosting a full-fledged code forge, you might want to simply store issues in the git repo itself. Have you tried using git-bug, git-issue, or some other decentralized bug tracker?

* https://github.com/dspinellis/git-issue

Last time I tried git-bug I failed to import my issues from GitHub and gave up, but maybe it works now, it seems there is a new & more active maintainer.

Next, have you tried a static site generator for browsing git repos? Here's a list of SSGs for git, sorted by latest commit (fresh to stale):

* reporat https://www.ratfactor.com/repos/reporat/
* git-arr https://blitiri.com.ar/p/git-arr/
* depp https://git.8pit.net/depp/
* itsy-gitsy https://git.trevorbentley.com/itsy-gitsy/file/README.md
* pgit https://pgit.pico.sh/
* stagit https://codemadness.org/git/stagit/file/README.html
* gituwa https://git.mcksp.com/gituwa/
* repo2html https://git.m455.casa/repo2html/

Time to discuss self-hosted alternatives to GitHub!

First, has anyone simply put a bare git repo on a server somewhere, pushed via SSH, and called it a day?

Do you really need more than a remote to push to and pull from, for your personal projects? If you've tried this, what obstacles did you encounter and what features did you miss?

PS. Here’s where to go: @Codeberg

(As an additional bonus, you’ll have the peace of mind of knowing you’re part of an anti-fascist not-for-profit cooperative instead of a trillion-dollar US corporation that’s helping Israel commit genocide.)

GitLab CFO, Brian Robins, says they are “aligned with the goals of DOGE, because the company’s software tools aim to help people do more with less. What the Department of Government Efficiency is trying to do is what GitLab does.”

You either support fascism or you don’t. It’s binary. There’s no gray area or “aligning.”

Considering GitLab? Don’t. Use @Codeberg.
