To add to others' comments, another nice detail is that you can simply push to a non-existing repository to create it, rather than having to first create it through the web ui.

Sounds like a good way to accidentally create a repo, hopefully it’s private by default.
It gives you a link to click to confirm the new repository creation, or you can use git push options to set the visibility and description (git push -o visibility=public -o description="my cool repo")

1. Please don't do this. HackerNews is not the place to hurl empty insults.
2. I'm not sure if your intent was to insult Drew DeVault personally, or to insult the SourceHut project. Drew has given us no reason to doubt his competence, and SourceHut is already accepting payments. Neither sense of the word amateur applies here.
3. That's not what security-by-obscurity means. It would be a bad default, instead, but as Drew has since explained, it's not even that. Unless you explicitly request creation of a public repo, you won't get a public repo.
