Open source web-based code and changeset viewer for git

Question

Know of any good ones? Looks like there were a few attempts at adding git support to Warehouse but it appears to be dead. I'm aware of Redmine but am looking for others.

I host git repos with gitosis on my local server and want a way to browse it on the web.

Answer 1

Maybe you can use GitWeb, or Trac with git plugin.

Answer 2

Besides GitWeb, cgit is a good choice, too.

Answer 3

Take a look at "Web Interfaces" section of Interfaces, frontends and tools page on Git Wiki.
There you will find, among others, the following web interfaces:

• gitweb, distributed with Git, written in Perl. Used e.g. by git.kernel.org and repo.or.cz (both use modified version of gitweb).
• cgit, written in C. Used e.g. by cgit.freedesktop.org
• ViewGit, written in PHP. You can see demo here (defunct?).
• ginatra (github), written in Ruby, uses Sinatra web framework.
• pitweb, written in Python.

There are few other simple web interfaces (in Perl using Catalyst, in Python using Pyjamas, in PHP, in Ruby); see mentioned Git Wiki page for links and descriptions. Most commonly used are I think gitweb and cgit.

Beside simple web interfaces, there are also a few git hosting solutions, which include built-in web interface (like GitHub does):

• Gitorious, in Ruby (code).
• InDefero, in PHP, started as clone of Google Code (code).
