Yeah! One can always set up the whole thing, but for small shops and freelancers it makes no sense to manage something like this.

Maybe for hackers like us... ;)

Who did your design? It's beautiful! Who does all these amazing designs?

[fnando]

In this case, I did my own design. I always liked design my own stuff. So, I spent only time on this one! ;)

[StavrosK]

It's brilliant, well done!

Sure, at least you take the worry of server management away, but I think your focus on CLI might not be well justified, as existing CLI tools are already very good and incredibly easy to set-up (aptitude install gitosis; git clone [e-mail]:gitosis admin; done!) :)

You have to be a hacker to know how to host a repo now?

[trustfundbaby]

Getting a Git repo setup with a web accessible interface is not trivial and for the time spent doing it, you could be doing other things like ... you know ... writing code to make you money.

Gitweb is exceedingly simple to set up...

[alnayyir]

Gitolite/Gitosis/Gitweb and/or ssh access.

I could do it in ~5 minutes.

I could hack up an MVP of the features that Github has that I care about in maybe a weekend.

That said, I do use and love Github, but I use it for the network effects and general slickness.

If I need a private repo, I get off my fat ass and deploy it in less time than it takes to enter my billing address.

So could most of us, but then again you could do something interesting with your weekend instead.
