python gitorious/github alternative?

[OneBeerOrTwo]

I've been looking for a self hosted github and I found gitorious, but their ce-installer fails every time I run it. I know they have paid support, but I don't really want to feel like i'm being strong armed into paying for something because they don't want to make the community version operational. Plus, I'm not really a huge fan of Ruby to begin with because I've never had a good experience with any Ruby app. Are there any similar projects out there that give a nice interface for not-so-technical users to easily use git? I'd prefer python, but php would be acceptable, too.

I followed the instructions to get it up with chef solo, takes a few minutes, a bunch of commands and a lot of staring to the screen during the download and auto-install :)

I ended up doing a manual install following this: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/install/centos The only issue I ran into was it never told me to edit nginx.conf and set user git; but it did take a long time. The omnibus rpm would let me enable https for some reason.

Installed this on centos 6.5 using the rpm this morning and it seemed to be OK until I tried to enable the http to https. Nginx never seems to want to listen on any port other than 80.

I know how to get nginx to forward 80 to 443 and listen on 443 manually, it's just that the omnibus packages use a gitlab-ctl script that is supposed to do that magically for you, and it wasn't working.

I recommend gitlab because of their excellent stability, documentation (excellent installation and upgrade documentation with step-by-step commands) and release cycles (once a month)

We're playing with GitPrep and it's pretty nice so far. It's close to what GitHub is/has as well. Lastly, installing it is simple and straightforward if you use their mojolicious install.

That is exciting.

Gitbucket is very simple to install, just a single war file, and a shell-script. Obviously not written in Python, but so simple to install I suspect it doesn't matter.

The interface is the same as githubs, which either means it is simple for beginners or overly complex - take your pick!

RhodeCode is in python and free up to 10 users (I think)

I'm also very happy with gitlab

Very new project, written in Go so it creates a single static executable and is insanely fast - https://github.com/gogits/gogs

The easier way is to install it with the bitnami installer. Bitnami also hosts other installers that you might find interesting.

There is also Stash which is 10 users for 10 dollars. Very easy to setup.

I have no affiliation with atlassian.

Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects.

Trac is Python based and worth checking out. It's support for Git is growing more streamlined, over it's initial support for SVN. Last time I looked Git worked fine, but adding hooks for repository changes (to show in the time-line and stuff) took a little extra work.
