The GitHub guys are just iterating and growing so fast. I'd hate to be SourceForge right about now (it seems to have caused the SF.net folks to wake up, though, as they've begun to improve at a very rapid clip).

I ordinarily recommend folks not go the installable application route (even though our business is all installable based) if they can avoid it, but I think it definitely makes sense for GitHub. It's an area where the prices are very high, and the products are generally pretty bad.

Agreed.

With luck BitBucket will make a similar move soon - that would be awesome!

This is one of the main reasons that I'm not using Git at work, there hasn't been a super solid way to get the Github functionality on an internal network where it's 100% secure. This is a REALLY smart move for the guys at Github.

agreed. I don't feel comfortable uploading all my code to a third party, which in this case is even located in a different country I'm not familiar with the legislation details.

I'm using gitosis and redmine internally now, but this one is really interesting

Does it do custom branding? I might've missed this, but I don't think the video mentioned it. Gitorious does that rather nicely (see http://qt.gitorious.org/ ), but your repositories will still be hosted somewhere else.

gitorious is a real bitch to install though.

and githubs user centric way of looking at things is much more compelling than the project centric way of gitorious.

Not to be pedantic, but there's no way that you're going to make anything 100% secure, even if you host it internally. I do agree with your point though and can understand some companies wanting to keep all of their code in-house though.
