+      Knots are lightweight headless servers that enable users to host Git repositories with ease.
+      Knots are designed for either single or multi-tenant use which is perfect for self-hosting on a Raspberry Pi at home, or larger “community” servers.
+      By default, Tangled provides managed knots where you can host your repositories for free.
