Gitlab, the private Github clone

We programmers know and love Github, the source code hosting website that's free for open source projects. But we often like to keep our projects private before releasing them publicly, and that's one thing Github is not good at. Sure, you can get the personal plan to have 5 private repositories, but is that really enough for all your personal mini-projects?

Meet Gitlab, the open source Github clone that you can host on your server. The number of repositories and collaborators is limited just by your server's capabilities. But you need to set up the server, and it takes a few hours unless you're proficient with Ruby.

We're proud to introduce the Git Server Appliance, featuring gitlab as web GUI and gitosis as accounts manager. All this starting at the price of Github personal plan!

There's no set up, you're provided with administrator login and password to your newly provisioned git server appliance. All you need to do is log in and start working.
