+        <p>Since I’ve moved my website(s) over to a dedicated server I started using I’ve been meaning to configure my own host for git repos. I ran
+into some trouble getting it to work properly but thanks to <a href="https://lukesmith.xyz">Luke Smith’s</a> <a href="https://landchad.net">landchad.net</a> somebody had written an article how to get a basic one
+working.</p>
+
+<p>Turns out the main thing I was missing was this line from my nginx site config file <code class="language-plaintext highlighter-rouge">try_files $uri @cgit ;</code>. The error that fixed was a 403 Forbidden error I kept getting when attempting to visit <a href="https://git.sanders.life/">git.sanders.life</a>.</p>
+
+<p>I did use the article to make sure HTTPS cloning would work too though and cloned a couple repos I’m interested in having a mirror.</p>
+
+<p>Now, though, I can freely push my repos to my own server with a read-only frontend to it for other netizens!</p>
+
+<p>Anyway, thanks for reading this little update to my site and services.</p>
