gforge replacement for git

Question

We have been using gforge server for cvs/svn. Now we are moving to git. Can you suggest a server for git, which can replace gforge. My server-machine is red-hat, so installing Gitorious is not straightforward. We don't want github.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Gitolite is the standard for in-house serving git repositories, but it doesn't replace GForge; however the latter has a git plugin for connection with your git repos.

To have GForge features an alternative is Redmine or ChiliProject.

Answer 2

GForge supports Git out of the box. No need to change anything at all, though, you'll probably want to upgrade to 6.x.
