Bare repos with multiple users are a bit of a hassle because of file permissions. It works, and works well, as long as you set things up right and have clear processes. But god help you if you don’t.

Agreed, which is why you’ll find in a subsequent comment I allow for the fact that in a multi-user scenario, a support service on top of Git makes real sense.
Given this post is joking about being ashamed of their code, I can only surmise that, like I’m betting most self-hosters, they’re not dealing with a multi-user use case.
Well, that or they want to limit their shame to their close friends and/or colleagues…
