Why do I rarely see Gitblit talked about as an open source alternative to GitHub? It does a lot: http://gitblit.com/features.html http://gitblit.com/features.html, including a well thought out ticket workflow: http://gitblit.com/tickets_overview.html http://gitblit.com/tickets_overview.html It's also very easy to install, since it only needs a JVM.
I started using it after getting frustrated with Gitlab's install process on RHEL (a year ago), and I used Gitolite before that. Gitblit has been refreshingly simple to deal with. Am I missing something other than the standard JVM hate?
- alex_hitchins 12y agoI haven't seen Gitblit before - thanks for the mention. I will check it out and see if it offers me any wins over GitLab.
- icefox 12y agoI see a lovely list of all sorts of features, but then I get to limitations: "Built-in access controls are not branch-based, they are repository-based." That falls under one of the three things that the Git solution must have or else I will just pass and find something else. http://benjamin-meyer.blogspot.com/2014/10/so-you-want-to-build-git-server.html http://benjamin-meyer.blogspot.com/2014/10/so-you-want-to-bu...
