What is Gitorious?
Gitorious is an open-source web application designed for hosting both public and private Git repositories. It provides an easy way for developers and teams to collaborate on code and manage Git repositories without having to set up their own Git server.
Some key features of Gitorious include:
- Public and private repositories - Users can create open source repositories visible to everyone, or private repositories only accessible to certain collaborators.
- Role-based access control - Repository administrators can manage access and permissions for members of their teams.
- Code reviews - Developers can submit changes as merge requests and get feedback from teammates through code reviews.
- Wikis & issue tracking - Each repository includes project wikis and issue tracking features for documentation and task management.
- Activity feeds - Users can follow project updates through activity streams for repositories and teams they are members of.
Overall, Gitorious aims to provide an easy-to-use and flexible platform for both open source projects with public repositories as well as private and enterprise teams that need to collaborate on internal Git repositories.
