First, I think you can find required information in many documentation avaliable online, like "Git User's Manual" (distributed with Git), or Got Community Book from http://git-scm.com > If I'm correct, you have two major options: > -- install your own git infrastructure: > -- by using git-daemon and serving the git repository throught > git://...; Note that git:// protocol is meant only for _fetching_ (although you can configure it for pushing, it is a good option only in very narrow set of circumstances). And you would have ensure that your firewall allows git traffic. > -- by using gitweb? and serving it as http://...; Gitweb (and cgit, and git-php) is _web interface_ to repository, which means that you can check the state of repository, view current version and the log of changes, and many other things from a web browser. All of those require installing either as CGI module, or some other module for web server having installed. To have read-only HTTP access you only need to put your repository in a place where your web server will see it. Well, that and ensure that git-update-server-info is run, for clients to be able to know latest state of the repository. Usually it is done using 'update' hook; it should be enough to enable example hook (if you use bare repository as published repository). To be able to push via HTTP you have to set WebDAV and appropriate permissions on web server. See the documentation. > -- by using ssh and serving it as ssh://... (this is > appropriate mostly for private repositories); Usually you would want to restrict access by using git-shell, and perhaps ease configuring permissions using either Gitosis (see also BlogPosts on git wiki) or ssh_acl. > -- using an existing Git hosting service like: > -- (of course) http://repo.or.cz/ > -- http://github.org/ > -- http://gitorious.org/ > -- see also http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitHosting > > For open-source / public repositories I would opt for using an > existing hosting service. For Rails application I would check what other Ruby on Rails people use. I would guess that it would be either Rubyforge or GitHub.
