We have a small work group that I would like to encourage to adopt git after being on SVN. So, I am interested in getting the best of the central repository feel that SVN has to offer while getting all the best of git. We don’t tend to have a single large project but many smaller and unrelated projects, so they will likely be structured as multiple git repositories. What would be folks’ recommendations about how to move forward? A few options:

  1. Simple directory structure via ssh
  2. Private github
  3. Gitolite

We do not have ssh access to machines through our firewall (go figure), so access to local resources for us means going over http.

    A private GitHub is appealing to me since you don’t have to worry about administering the repo server, ever. BitBucket is a really nice free alternative, which supports git these days, and doesn’t charge for private repos:

    Store all of your Git and Mercurial source code in one place with unlimited private repositories. Includes issue tracking, wiki, and pull requests.
