Question

I have worked with SVN using VisualSVN & TortoiseSVN for few years, and it works well for my 10 person department.

Git is very hot today, and I am considering whether or not to move from SVN to Git.

I read many posts on StackOverflow and I have a concept on git which

Git is decentralized & distributed VCS. Users can commit their revision on their local repositories whether the network connection is available or not.

Reference from this posts:
Do I need a server to use git?

To get it to work for multiple users, I still need a central Git server with bare repositories only to synchronise and let multiple users sync the files (like SVN – update command) or new users to own the files (like SVN – checkout command).

But my questions are:

1. Do I really need a server/web space being a bare repo for sync/mirror for general Git work flow?
2. What system requirement for GIT server? (like SVN have to use Apache)

Answer 1

1. No, and there is no general git workflow. Read this for examples of distributed worflows.
2. You only need a computer accepting connections through ssh, and git of course

A useful tool for managing this is gitolite.
