Git in a company - hosting own server

Question

I am presenting Git to a 10 man programming team who currently use Visual Source Safe.

They need to host their Git server inside the company. Windows or Linux. Direc

Answer 1

It's certainly possible to have a self-hosted git repository with access control. Typically what one would do is create a account named git on the server machine, set the shell of that account to git-shell, which is a limited shell designed for use by git only, and then put the public keys for each authorized user in the git-user's .ssh/authorized_keys file.
