MODERATORS
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'd love to put up a tiny tiny frontend to share my versioned work, but so far my best options seem to be cgit (configuration appears to be a bit of a bear), and legit by icyphox (spelling) (which is a bit unrefined, but at least it's pretty easy to modify).
Lord help me if I end up trying to make own...
