How do I host my own Git?
How do I host my own Git? Upload a public SSH key to the “git” user which will allow you (or others) to log in as the “git” user. Create a bare repository on the server. Add the remote repository (the one just created on the server) to a local Git project. Push changes to the remote repository.
Where can I host a Git repository?
- Option 1: GitHub. Seriously, this is a valid option.
- Option 2: GitLab. GitLab is probably the leading contender when it comes to alternative code platforms.
- Option 3: Bitbucket.
- Option 4: SourceForge.
- Option 5: Roll your own.
- Option 6: All of the above.
What is repository host?
Repository hosting services are third-party web applications that wrap and enhance a version control system. You cannot fully utilize a repository hosting service without using an underlying version control system.
Do I need a server for Git?
Even though a central server may make things somewhat easier, you don’t need one. At work, I use some scripts around git-bundle to synchronize my git repositories between machines that are not connected to networks in a way that they can access each other.
