You can put the bare repo on a server and then use ssh. Dead simple and works great if you have a dev server where all developers have access to anyway.

#12I use my own git repo. I have a very small digitalocean server as well as a mac. I rsync the repos for backup. I have used github a bit but in my admittedly limited experience I see no benefit and therefore no need for anything else. Really it just seems trivial.

#16Atlassian Stash [1]. Gets regular updates and it plays nicely with JIRA and Bamboo.

#17if you already have a tiny vps running somewhere, take a look at gitolite. it's free, it supports multiple users, allows for complex access control, but has a tiny bit of a learning curve attached to it.
on the upside, you learn a bunch about ssh in the process!

#18Free Bitbucket, works just fine.

#19gitlab... easy to set up and easy to use.
Is that their hosted option, or self-hosted?

#20Paid GitHub. It's great, not really expensive, almost every developer knows how it works. Simply setting up your own Git repo would be more expensive than a few months of GitHub/BitBucket subscription.
I'm not arguing about GitHub being great, but it really only takes a few minutes to spin up an EC2 instance and add a few user accounts with a shared folder. That's really all that's required to set up a shared repo.
