Paid GitHub.
It's great, not really expensive, almost every developer knows how it works.
Simply setting up your own Git repo would be more expensive than a few months of GitHub/BitBucket subscription.
- michaelmior 12y agoI'm not arguing about GitHub being great, but it really only takes a few minutes to spin up an EC2 instance and add a few user accounts with a shared folder. That's really all that's required to set up a shared repo.

- michaelmior 12y agoPlus assuming you're running an EBS-backed instance, it's already backed up. And it's easy enough to set your instance to automatically apply security updates. If all it's doing is hosting a few git repos, breaking things isn't really a huge concern. I love GitHub, but I wouldn't pay for it as a way of saving money, I'd pay for the extra features.
