But how often do you need that for your personal projects? I just have a git repo on a server that’s accessible by ssh. I only use a web frontend when I have to share with other people and then you might as well use a free third party service.
I’ve had colleagues who’d panic when they had merge conflicts, then fuck something up, remove the whole dir and create a new clone. If you’re competent I don’t think it should be necessary.

You don’t need it on a server even. For simple versioning just use a local git repo without any bells and stuff
One of the most useful features is rolling back from origin when you’ve borked your local repo (not that I ever have…)
I’m not that accustomed with it myself, so my question: how can you bork your local repo so you can’t roll back? Did you tinker in the .git folder? xD

True, I used the remote to access the code from other machines and/or as a remote backup. If you don’t need that, there’s no need for a server.
