Some of you guys know I like to stop in from time to time and share what little knowledge I may have, try to lend a helping hand here or there as well as soak in the generous amounts of knowledge you kind folks share on the daily.
I've been using Linux something around 5 years now, and the past 3.5 have been on Arch Linux. I've learned so much over the years and without any formal computing education or knowledge having been a windows refugee once I decided the Windows 11 announcement was enough to push me over the edge and try something new.
Here I am these years later and I guess I've become what many would call a "power user"; yet it's pretty frequent that I get the opportunity to look in the mirror and realize how little I know some days
. Because all of these years, learning to use linux, getting into bash and python scripting and a few other nics and nacks within our lifestyle; I've never.... ever used Git services.
Sure, I'd heard about them. I'd downloaded git files from GitHub and compiled things from source, but that's really the extent as to my "use" of git services.
Last week I decided to venture forth and learn how to deploy my own Gitea server on the home lab I've got here in the basement. I spent a few days fighting it because I was too stubborn to deploy it via docker and instead opted to go the manual route so to better understand the server side structure and functionalities in addition to the service itself once it was deployed.
I ran into a few problems ofc and even made a post here in one of my fatigued sleepless cries for help lol. But I got a full nights rest and woke the next day to some how manage to have successfully created my Gitea server and I was in business.
Another couple days creating and deleting repo's because I didn't understand how any of it worked (who needs Docs when we have trial and error namsayun ? ). And today, it finally clicked.
I have me a little dinky vlog style YouTube channel where I document my endeavors self teaching (and when I'm lucky, getting educated from you folks) and all the aches and pains along the way. From getting into Linux, getting into servers and self hosting, to learning to use different desktop environments and ofc you can't have a Linux based YouTube channel without ranting about the insanity of the distro wars.
I figured I'd share the latest update for those out there that are taking the road less traveled as I have, and maybe haven't yet come to realize how absolutely powerful and priceless Git services are and why you should really... really be using it. Whether you self host your own server as I do, or if you sign up on Github, you really need to look into it if you haven't already.
Here's to better work flow, redundancy, and security in knowing I've now got version control and a safe space to keep my work in the event I once again FUBAR my systems.
Cheers.
