Thanks! What's clone repo mean tho? I generally use vpn, I think that should be default systems globally if humans get shit together
If this is your level of experience, I would heavily caution against running an instance.
But what about creating one?
every comment you make is just supporting that you shouldn't be trying to self-host an instance. you lack all the knowledge necessary to do so.
if you're really stubborn about it, your best bet would be paying someone with the proper knowledge to do it for you.
That's worth considering. How much would it be?
I would like to also create one just to learn how it all works, being that I am as novice as you all think, and would like to learn hands on. But my main concern is founding a haven. That's the only goal I have.
It's a feature of Git. Read up on git/GitHub before you try to tackle this.
