I'm not really looking for a new git repository hosting service but this seems cool. I was a bit disappointed that I had to download a cli tool after signing up. It would be cool if you could do all the management non-git operations via ssh and without any additional client software

You can actually! The cli is just a really dumb wrapper around ssh execs.

create: ssh [e-mail] gitern-create <path>

delete: ssh [e-mail] gitern-delete <path>

list: ssh [e-mail] gitern-list [<path>]

pubkey add: ssh [e-mail] gitern-pubkey-add <account> (pubkey on stdin)

pubkey remove: ssh [e-mail] gitern-pubkey-remove <SHA256 fingerprint> <account>

pubkey list: ssh [e-mail] gitern-pubkey-list

Edit: Eventually the cli will provide a lot more (and self document what's available) so I do recommend using it, but you can happily get along with these "raw" commands for now.

I love it. Would feel more comfortable with a bash source-file I could copy than an installer tbh.

This reminds me, as I suppose you expect, of a lovely ssh-based chat service i saw on here a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8743374

These should absolutely be documented on the site!

When I looked at the CLI source I almost walked away. 112MB spread across 12k files from a developer I don't know is _way_ too scary to trust with access to my SSH private keys. Being able to manage it without that CLI tool, though, makes it something I might try out.

I've since documented the commands: https://gitern.com/#commands
