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

I've played with Gitea a little and it was easy to set up, but I didn't need the web stuff. So as others have suggested, I just set up a bare git repo in one place, then git clone it over ssh in the other place, and push and pull to it. So that's an SVN-like model with a central repo, plus a few other places using it and sometimes pushing code to it that I manually pull when needed to the others.

All this stuff with docker containers seems like ridiculous overkill.
