What git setup would you use for a private repo?
-
I need to setup a private git repo. It will reside on an internal network with zero need to be accessed form the wider internet.
What solution would you all recommend? I can spin up anything as the core Hyper-V setup is Server 2012 R2 Datacenter. I would prefer not to setup a Windows server for this, but I can. I was planning to use CentOS 7 assuming a Linux based solution.
-
Can't you do that now with git? I'm pretty sure it has a local server functionality.

Can I? No clue. I have only ever used Github for personal projects or Git repos setup by others for other projects.

I like and am currently using GitLab for this... It is kinda like GitHub... (http://www.gitlab.com).
They have install instructions for CentOS on the download page.
-
Git alone is good for local stuff... If you want GitHub type functionality, use GitLab...

If I remember correctly Git by itself is a peer-to-peer software. Setting up a new server would be similar to setting up another git user.

Ah got it. That is good to know.

GitLab for Linux or GitStack for windows are two solid options.

Nice to know there's a Windows Alternative!

Looks like GitLab it will be then. I really would not want to setup a full windows instance just for this.
I will certainly need the web GUI portion of GitLab for certain people to review things simply.
I would use GitHub but was told the code was not allowed to be hosted publicly (understandably) and they did not want to pay for the service to have a private project. -

I should correct myself here... The git command line can to both local, and remote repositories... Tools like TortoiseGit and such make connecting up with GitLab /GitHub type places much easier...
But if you really want to, it can all be done form the command line.

Thanks for the clarification. I've played with git a bit, but I don't generally develop software. Thinking about it... probably wouldn't be a bad idea to use a repo system for admin scripts too.
-
@coliver Yes! This is a good idea! Especially for those whoopsie moments when you really snafu a script that worked yesterday, lol.

I keep meaning to do this and just never have the time to get it done.

Check out Atlassian's Stash. It is their on premises, free for ten users (or $10, something like that) GIT repo system. Basically your own copy of Bitbucket. Runs on any platform you want. I've deployed it on Linux. Very powerful, much more than just Git.
-
Stash/Bitbucket are your hosted options, basically, as @scottalanmiller mentioned, however, you can do this with git pretty simply too... I was about to write out instructions, but just so I don't forget anything, here's a good tutorial:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-private-git-server-on-a-vps
I also found this pretty detailed tutorial:

Stash is local. You can run it on Digital Ocean.

Yeah, I grouped those together, but yes stash is local, bitbucket is not. I mean it as hosted as you can run it else where. Really bad misnomer on my part, but I certainly know the difference. We used bitbucket a while back for a few things, but not anymore, it's a lot like github, and github has private repos as well, but at a price.
