I started out using Gitlab for my personal repos, but have switched to using bare Git repos on a VPS for the last few years. If you won't be collaborating with anyone else, nothing beats being able to just write:

   ssh $HOST git init --bare repo/foo
   git remote add origin $HOST:repo/foo

to note, gitolite provides a very simple addition to the 'simple git server over ssh' scenario without much hassle, might be worth looking into for this use case

[kingosticks]

If it's just you using it, what additions does gitolite bring (genuine question)?

[cat199]

good point on individual users -

using the multiuser support for automation sub-accounts ("service accounts") would be one thing; general 'separation of concerns' for higher security isolation (gitolite runs under a separate SSH account that can only run gitolite), has some hooks for offering read-only pull support using the git protocol pretty transparently.

but yes, i suppose pure single user it's not the hugest advantage.

Why would I tune for git init?
