gitolite is a much-improved fork of gitosis, "backed" by Fedora for use in their repos, and IMO is much easier and nicer to setup to configure.

  Ah, thanks. We just restructured our servers in my house, so I need to move gitosis over to a different machine anyway. Might as well try out gitolite instead.

    Gitolite has very easy to follow instructions to get it up and running. (Hosted at Github!) Also interesting is that VPS account + Gitolite is cheaper (perhaps more practical for smallish businesses - if you're only interested in hosting git repos) than a Github account.

      Maybe it is cheaper .... but maybe not in terms of time as you are now responsible for maintaining said server and keeping it up. I am the team lead of a small 3 dev team, we manage about 9 applications that all tie together and were self hosting git, until the server melted down and they didn't have a replacement PC for us to put it onto, and a bug fix got held up for almost two days because we couldn't deploy the bastard. Finally I convinced the powers that be that $20 a month for GitHub was money well spent and we have never looked back.

      Hmm that is quite smart yeah. The smallest Linode VPS accounts are actually quite cheap yeah.. I see they have removed their smallest instance though. But i guess any other good VPS host will work. Hosting git repoes does not exactly take a lot of oompfh.
