Git repository server I can host locally [closed]

Answer 1

Paying for github private hosting seems the quickest way. The network viewer is totally proprietary.

There are patches over on repo.or.cz that add a similar interface as gitk to the vanilla gitweb front end. It is, or at least was when I tried it, a complete pain to set up but is doable for your own projects.

The output is really like gitk, like it or loathe it, so if you are used to that it is familiar at least. Here is the graphical log of git itself.

Answer 2

codeBeamer can be installed on your very own server, as an "intranet GitHub".

It does everything GitHub does: Git repository hosting, workflows and pull requests, issue tracking, wiki, binariy downloads, etc. and more. It doesn't actually have the network graph, as this feature is considered a "nice to have", rather than a "must have" feature among our users.

(Disclaimer: we develop this commercial product.)

Answer 3

Gitblit is an open-source, integrated, pure Java Git server, viewer, and repository manager for small workgroups. The current version (0.5.1) does not support anything like network graph, but its a quick and easy-to-use tool for hosting and browsing git repositories.

Answer 4

Another option you have these days is http://gitlab.org/

It is open source and free to use. It is based on ruby on rails though, so it might not be available on your average php hosting service.

Answer 5

Git comes with a built-in web view: gitweb. You probably have it already installed as /usr/share/gitweb or somewhere similar.

Answer 6

I agree with rq above with github private repos are a good way to go even for a solo developer.

I also use Git extensions on windows and it gives some nice gui extras.
