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
To be fair, if you want to sync your work across two machines, Git is not ideal because well, you must always remember to push, If you don’t push before switching to the other machine, you’re out of luck.
Syncthing has no such problem, because it’s real time.
However, it’s true that you cannot combine Syncthing and Git. There are solutions like https://github.com/tkellogg/dura, but I have not tested it.
There’s some lack of options in this space. For some, it might be nicer to run an online IDE.

To add something, I second the “just use Git over ssh without installing any additional server”. An additional variation is using something like Gitolite to add multi-user support to raw Git, if you need to support multiple users and permissions; it’s still lighter than running Forgejo.
