I’m curious: why bother to use GH then? Why not simply have various repos in your filesystem?

It feels to me like having a blog site and only putting notes, scraps and drafts in it. Maybe there’s some functionality i’m not seeing?

I push to Gitlab from home so that I can pull down to the computer in the shop. Fleshing out an idea is much more comfortable in the home than standing up in front of a an old computer.

It's a good question, and I don't have a specific answer. I guess the short answer is because I want to. It's convenient for a number of reasons.
