Own Git server like github

Gitorious is an open source web interface to git that you can run on your own server, much like github:

http://getgitorious.com/

Update:
http://gitlab.org/ is another alternative now as well.

Update 2:
Gitorious has now joined with GitLab

The commercial service by GitHub starts at US$ 25 a month, ranging up to US$ 200 for the Platinum service, whereas Gitorious costs at least US$ 99 for your own sub-domain.


Fedora and Ubuntu include the two programs in their package repositories, which makes the install very easy.


 The basic requirements for setting up a Git server are a directory for the configuration and the repositories, a user account, and SSH keys needed to handle authentication. Access to Git repositories always relies on SSH, which means the Git servers don’t need a separate port.
