Can home workouts actually build muscle like going to the gym?

Help

I’m thinking of starting working out at home and wanted to ask people who’ve actually done it — can you really build a decent amount of muscle with home workouts?

I know the gym probably makes things easier, but I’m wondering if you can get similar results at home with stuff like push-ups, pull-ups, squats, etc., especially if you progressively make the workouts harder and eat enough protein.

Would also love to hear from anyone who started at home and actually saw good muscle growth. How did you train and what equipment did you use?
