I am not from a dataviz background but I do have a question around the decision to use Gitea (other than self-hosted) . Would it be a better use of your time to use something like GitHub or was there something Gitea offers that is so valuable?
Gitea was quite easy to set up, I just had to run the executable from my local server and I was up and running! I've recently become more concerned with hosting my data off-premises, so I use this local Gitea instance when something doesn't need to be public-facing.
I was pleasantly surprised with an unforeseen advantage - speed! I have a few Unity projects that can be on the larger side, but pushing/pulling to them is quick in comparison to GitHub.
