Hey everyone,
I’m setting up a git server for my current project and I’m looking for a good web interface. I want something that’s free and easy to use. The main features I need are:
- Viewing changes
- Checking diff information
- Browsing the repository
Has anyone tried any self-hosted git web interfaces? What would you recommend? I’ve heard there are quite a few options out there, but I’m not sure which one to pick.
It would be awesome if there was something similar to GitHub, but I know that’s probably asking for too much. Any suggestions would be really helpful!
Thanks in advance!
ooh, have you looked into gitlAb? it’s pretty robust and has loads of features. i’ve used it for team projects and it’s been awesome. the community edition is free and self-hostable. whats your project about, btw? sounds intriguing!
I’d recommend considering Gogs as a viable option for your self-hosted git web interface. It’s lightweight, free, and provides all the core functionalities you’re looking for. Gogs offers a clean, intuitive interface for viewing changes, checking diffs, and browsing repositories. It’s also relatively easy to set up and maintain, even on low-resource systems. While it may not have all the bells and whistles of GitHub, it’s an excellent choice for smaller teams or personal projects. I’ve used it successfully for several years and found it to be stable and reliable. The community around Gogs is also quite active, which is always a plus for open-source software.
hey mate, ive been using gitea for a while now and its pretty sweet. easy to set up and has all the features u mentioned. its like a lightweight github clone. give it a shot, u might like it. cheers!
