 <p>This guide is a modified version of the <a href="https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server">git book</a> instructions for Debian specifically.<br>
 It also includes setting up a cgit web front-end that allows you to view your git repositories conveniently on the web just like <a href="https://git.haemolacriaa.com/">I do</a>.</p>
 <p>I'm assuming you already have a VPS with Debian installed and a domain purchased with proper DNS records pointing the git subdomain to your server IP. If not, you should research what all that means before continuing because you'll be unable to follow along.</p>
