Tools: Version Control, Version Management and GIT #Web Development #Root #By Sayed Ahmed

You can use Gitlab internally. It will act as a version control server. Gitlab is Linux/Unix specific. Gitlab is written in Ruby.

You can also use Github, however, to keep your projects private, you will need to pay (in recent times, this might have been made free).  BitBucket is an alternative to Github, the advantage is, you can keep your projects private as long as the number of users is less than or equal to five.

Linux OS usually comes with several Git clients both graphical and command line to interact with Git servers.

 Some others: Bonobo Git Server, Gitbilt, and BitBucket.

  1. Gitlab
    “Gitlab is a free git repository management application based on Ruby on Rails. It is distributed under the MIT License and its source code can be found on Github. It is a very active project with a monthly release cycle and ideal for businesses that want to keep their code private.”
     
  2. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/gitlab
     
    Official Gitlab site: https://about.gitlab.com/

“Open source software to collaborate on code

GitLab offers git repository management, code reviews, issue tracking, activity feeds and wikis. Enterprises install GitLab on-premise and connect it with LDAP and Active Directory servers for secure authentication and authorization. A single GitLab server can handle more than 25,000 users but it is also possible to create a high availability setup with multiple active servers.”  from https://about.gitlab.com/
