Looks much easier to deploy than Gitlab.

I was actually just thinking about how this clone would make a good blog post pointing out the pain that hovers around many substantial ruby/rails projects versus other tool sets. To be able to download the binary and just run a web app ... amazing. Considering the last time I tried to run Gitlab all kinds of libraries didn't install properly and workers wouldn't come up when they were supposed to.

Besides the ease of installation, the thing that most impresses me is the very low resource usage and amazing responsiveness on even a tiny VPS.

11 MB of RSS? Quoting user 'pas' in an earlier comment, Gitlab wants about 2GB.

I have no idea how well it scales to a large user base, but I feel like this is going to become the go to option for side projects where you just want to share some private code with a friend or two.

Given the code churn for this project, it looks like they are working on this full-time.

Gitlab is an option as well. I found the README in their Github repo has additional info: https://github.com/gogits/gogs It seems like they intend to manipulate git entirely from Go. Interesting stuff!

Serious question about Gitlab and something that has always scared me away: How does it perform on a resource-constrained system? A lot of the hardware requirements[1] are presented in terms of users, but the "minimum" RAM requirement seems really high. If I wanted to use this with a small team (~20 users) in a resource constrained environment it seems like it'd be way overkill. [1]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/git…

The ram usage is very high for an application of this type, if you compare it to something like Indefero [1]. The minimum requirements on the page you linked seem correct.

Somewhat off-topic, but I notice they are using xorm as their golang ORM. Anyone have experience with this? I use gorm, and I wonder how xorm compares.

Noticed the release notes mention a forced password reset for all users because of a hash change. Couldn't that be avoided by storing the hash type/version, and silently upgrade on the next successful login (when the password is available briefly in plaintext in the login request)?

This is what Django does. Works very well.

I've recently installed cgit. I'm really happy with it's simplicity and easy of use.

Complicate deployment is one of the major reason for me to stay away from using Self-hosted Git Server for my small team. This one looks really interesting and promising. Being open source project is another major bonus.

On Debian-based systems you can install the gitolite package (from the repo) and then run: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gitolite. You can then start pushing and pulling.

I like it, but the blatant copy of the Github design makes me wonder: could one run a public Gogs instance ? Anyway, that's a really slick work. Once again Go shines and make that project super easy to install.

To be honest, I would say that Gitlab is more of a copy of Github than this project, and so far I haven't seen any problem with Gitlab.

Good point, I've just changed the RAM requirement since it was a bit outdated, see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/commit/01799721dc6cb... for the change and new version on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/inst...
