or use git-shell so users do not need a full ssh account on the server due to security concerns:

    which git-shell
    sudo echo "/usr/bin/git-shell" >> /etc/shells
    sudo useradd -m -s /usr/bin/git-shell git
    cat my_pub_key.pub >> /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys
    git clone ssh://git@server/home/git/myrepo.git

I'm so glad to see a bunch of positive comments here!

Git does not require M$, or any external company's online service.

The EU has finally woken up to the "threat" of their over-dependence on US services, but the same risks are no less valid for companies located inside the US.

I'm not talking about political sanctions, I'm talking about loss of your corporate jewels.

In the world of training models on other peoples data, no company should be dismissing the risk, that having their code on another companies servers, exposes them to.
