Forum: Ruby on Rails Rails and Git: Rails code to serve git repositories?

rails and git people,

I am searching for some Rails code I can use to serve git
repositories.

Please alert me if you know of any projects which have this use-case.

In other words I want to create my own github.

thanks,

-bb

I don't think there's anything available, unless Gitorious has released 
its source (is that written with Rails? not sure), which is part of the 
reason that Github is such a big deal.  You probably want to shell out 
to a native Git client, although Grit is also a possibility.

If you want to collaborate on this, e-mail me.  I've been thinking of 
trying something like this myself.

Best,

Well, another (costly!) possibility is to buy the real deal:

I didn't know they were doing that now!
