the default git user will not work, it has its homedir in /usr/local/git 
but gogs expect it on /var/db/gogs/home.
I know, here is a second user generated but if I look on the pros and 
cons I think using a dedicated gogs user is here more secure (for 
security and also for the upgrade path in the future).
