Hey, first of all, cool project! Although I certainly see the romantic appeal of "no email or password, just ssh key" and "the cli is the ui", other than for solo hackers I think you need a way to visualize the changes of a Pull Request (or Merge Request like in Gitlab) and do a code review, add comments, etc. Or at least Patch Review like in sr.ht I actually think that would be useful even for a solo hacker. Other features would also be welcomed, like CI/CD and tickets to track new features and bugs, but you can always integrate with a third party service for that. Also, unless I'm missing a key feature, I think for the use case you're appealing to you could just have a repo in a VPS or rsync.net. And the comparison with Dropbox doesn't apply here because dropbox is for the masses, and gitern ia for hackers, any hacker would know how to set that up. Finally with keybase you can create encrypted git repos. You can, manually set encrypted git repos on a VPS but it's difficult, keybase does it hassle free. You can also self-host something like gitea/gogs or gitbucket, or even gitlab.
