What's the difference between this and just using github? I think it's just the daemon-ness of dropbox. It would be cool to have something similar for arbitrary git repos that runs 'git fetch' periodically in the background. (or something fancier, if you want to scale it out) That keeps the conflict management at the git level, and you aren't keeping history of history anymore.
- tzs 16y agoIf you don't want your repositories public, price is a big difference. All of my repositories would fit in 10% of my free Dropbox space. It would cost $100/month to put them on Github. Github's pricing is based on the number of repositories. Dropbox's is based on the amount of storage used.
- okaramian 16y agoYou could set up a gitosis server if you have access to your own server of some sort and don't mind administering it. I have a linux VM on my main computer that is accessible to the outside world with gitosis on there and it's pretty great for a private git repo.
- fr0sty 16y agoGitosis is obsolete. If you are starting frsh, set up gitolite servers instead. Gitolite is actively maintained and has more features and better documentation.
