Or GitLab? I really don't understand why anyone would misuse Dropbox as a Git server...

  The OP seems to be interested in a SaaS (alternative for GitHub). For the people that think you always have to install GitLab, instead of running your own GitLab server you can also use GitLab.com with unlimited projects and collaborators, see https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/ https://about.gitlab.com/gitlab-com/

    Has Gitlab done any work on the high availability front? I remember reading a while back that gitlab.com was hosted on 2 servers, or something like that.
    - quicksilver03 10y ago
      They definitely stated that gitlab.com was running on one single server (plus a spare): https://about.gitlab.com/2015/01/03/the-hardware-that-powers-100k-git-repos/ https://about.gitlab.com/2015/01/03/the-hardware-that-powers... https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/09/moving-all-your-data/ https://about.gitlab.com/2015/03/09/moving-all-your-data/ It looks like this is no longer the case: https://about.gitlab.com/2015/06/04/gitlab-dot-com-outage-on-2015-05-29/ https://about.gitlab.com/2015/06/04/gitlab-dot-com-outage-on... I haven't been able to determine if they're still storing the git repositories on NFS: https://about.gitlab.com/2015/09/01/gitlab-dot-com-outage-on-2015-09-01/ https://about.gitlab.com/2015/09/01/gitlab-dot-com-outage-on... but if that's the case, I would be extremely nervous about the integrity and stability of their platform. I've had too many bad experiences with NFS mounts failing and general instability that I don't want to deploy it anymore.

        We have many servers now, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/blog-posts/issues/214 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/blog-posts/issues/214 We're still on NFS but are looking into Ceph https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/1 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/operations/issues/1

      We're currently using 20 Azure instances to host GitLab.com. Git data is stored on an NFS server though I can't recall the exact setup from the top of my head.

Or even GitLab Edit: Apparently I was beat to the punch ;)

I've never tried it, but couldn't you theoretically make another github account using your email (assuming you use gmail) with a "+whatever" in it, and use that to create an infinite number of new github accounts? I believe gmail redirects you+something@gmail.com to you@gmail.com. Of course, just using Gitlab is the more sensible option :) [EDIT] - as lfowles pointed out, github doesn't private repos on free-tier accounts, so this is pointless.
- wrong_variable 10y ago
  I would personally prefer gogits - since its simpler than GitLab. But since I am a ghetto peasant without a static IP address I prefer to keep everything in what the cool kids call "The Cloud".
  - hardwaresofton 10y ago
    I was referring to gitlab's hosted option (maybe I'm not the only one that didn't know this existed until recently) - https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in I assume you're running your own VPS with gogits/gogs running on it?
- lfowles 10y ago
  Github has no private repositories in the free tier.

Or GitBucket hosted on your own hardware.

I deployed Gogs at home and am loving it for things I don't want anyone else to have access to (mostly hobby projects with some secret keys in them), and Gitlab is just so fantastic nowadays that I'm adding projects to it instead of Github. I wish they would fix their Github syncing (they can currently do it, but don't tell you their public SSH key so you can add it to Github as a pushing/pulling key).

  Thanks for the 'fantastic'!. We’re always trying to enable our users to integrate with more services/tools. I would love to have your input on this specific topic at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support-forum/issues/695 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/support-forum/issues/695

  It's not documented anywhere, so it's possible they use different keys for different users, but I was able to figure out they use this key for my account: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQC8cBZzV5gblDfbi41AxXC3fmfP8w1okfdNn9b6uXaj7i03NwhJ0n4Eg8Z+zgAtyrIa2bw9tzF8fyeYsnRbK5Paj059dn+XiXp3HOgcvHO9jy9C1+nomkRCM55fkMSGyiSByh2KSOiqqAusrTV9joig/Re30gYpxm8iCs20gbD717lZTT0A3dnrv7IQ86nbn9+5h+yMcok/AWEWS6Xq1NJGG5vav+vh+Nhlteo72qj77B/DFK1noUxcTgcy27xZOp1wrr7a6PaBu6wEMgKd2Oe9wQtzycaOYTAywHqtXnOE/w7FvhJen20GqtL9k4Zr94hxUNG7LJoiO6gNzo/0q24t git@theo.gitlab.com
  - StavrosK 10y ago
    Hmm, Gitlab crashes when I try to add a mirror. How did you figure this key out, if I may ask?
    - DanielDent 10y ago
      Bitbucket, which they also support, shows me the key they added to my repo. Using the key they placed on my Bitbucket repo worked on one of my Github repos.

Huge fan of Gogs here: https://gogs.io/ https://gogs.io/ easilly run on any low powered machine/vps, super great for personal projects.

I'm pretty much using a single private Git repository where I store all of the things I don't want to open source. When I'm the only one using that repository, I don't see the issue with doing so.
