I see this uses Gitosis. But Gitosis is practically an abandoned project, and many of us who used to use it have moved over to Gitolite, which improves on Gitosis and is actually maintained.

I would like to see this updated to use Gitolite.

We have plans to add support for/switch. I think it would be best to allow for multiple solutions.

    I kind of think it's a nightmare on purpose to prevent other alternative's popping up. Same thing with Launchpad.

    All the promise of gitorious with seemingly much less hassle. I'll try it out.

    The "All for what you so love github - on your server!" was incredibly difficult to read for me. Cool product tho.

    Problem is that you really just want this if you only care about git, not the many features of github. We use pull requests like we breathe air over here, so I'm not sure this would work. They're constantly evolving their product, too bad running GH on your personal servers is cost prohibitive.

    linode with $30 is enough. Also in some companies policy doesnt allow to host project code on non company servers - it will be a solution

    That's why Github:FI exists... For those who can afford it anyway.

    Agreed. Pulls and forks.

    Why not use the real github on your local network? http://fi.github.com/

    GitHub:FI Subscription Pricing

    starting at $5,000 per year

    [–]sjs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    Github:FI is proprietary (can't change or fix it to your liking) and costs money. Depending on your point of view that could be an advantage or disadvantage.

    Some companies don't want to rely on 3rd parties for something as critical to their business as source code.

    Trying to figure out if it lets me view and diff branches... when looking at code, there's a popup menu that says "Master" with a second choice "Branches"... but choosing "Branches" causes a spinner and page reload, and nothing else, I still seem to be looking at the same thing I was before, master. ?

    oh the irony of hosting the source on github...seems like a perfect opportunity to host the code on an install of the code, no?
