Not snarky just curious - why would you have this GOGS instance instead instead of just.. git?

  Wasn't familiar with GOGS before this post, but I guess it's just easy to put in place and you could just keep working from there if shit hits the fan?

    But what do you need it for? Why not just have a cloned repository?

      For many users having an easy to browse/navigate interface is a good selling point. This reminds me of this post about Dropbox: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224

        Along with that, gogs and gitea support automatic mirroring of repositories. I know that's just a crontab wmtry away but it's got a nice ui on top of it. It also then gives you a place to push private repos and other stuff you don't want to have publically hosted.

      Not sure if GOGS does it, but does a git clone also carries the issues entries and documentation from the repo?
