P64+ for version control

[MarkHaysHarris777]

Hi there!

Let me introduce myself. I'm Jimmy, 19 y.o. web developer from Argentina.
I'm totally new in the SBC world, and I need to know if my idea is doable before buy the components.

I want to use the A64+ 2GB starter kit as main logic board for connect an USB hard drive in order to install in there Debian OS + GitLab (CE).
Then access to the internet-connected* P64 from my computer (through WiFi) and access to GitLab (via command-line interface).

Is PINE64 useful for something like this? May I require other type of hardware?

Thanks for reading.

* My idea is as simple as connect P64 to the LAN cable into my router.

Yes... 

... the pine board ( uses boot0 u-boot ) boots from an SD card, and normally runs from the card as well; however, you may also move the /rootfs  to an HDD, or SSD, or usb stick.  In this configuration the pine board makes a great server ( docker runs fine on it too ) and you could very easily use it for version control and backup-- many people do just that !
