Is it possible to have uni admins host a bunch of Git repositories on premises? Git is sort-of self-hosting in the sense you only need a web server which can do URL rewriting and CGI, so Apache and Nginx - top picks these days - all just work as both can do HTTPS and what is called Basic HTTP authentication. Contemporary IIS (the web server shipped as part of Windows Server) these days can host Git without much fuss as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
