Re: [git-users] GIT and Hosting Remote Repositories

gitlab.com most certainly is a fully working instance of gitlab. I use
gitlab.com for some personal stuff (see e.g.
https://gitlab.com/magus/mirage-ping).

You can have multiple remotes if you want.

I avoid Windows as much as possible, so I can't help you there.

There is also Cygwin which runs on Windows and has git.

I'm confused by what you mean by an API and what you expect this API to do.

If the server supports basic git protocols (as github or any other git
server/service does) then you can drive it from any git client (eg. command
line, tortoise-git,...)

  I am aware of the convention and the nature of local repositories. 
  That's not my problem.

  Git repositories can have a "remote repository" by means of the 
origin/[branch] aspect.  This is the "remote" tracked branches that are used in 
Upstreams.

  I want to know how I can define an upstream repository on my local system, a 
network system, or by way of a cloud service.  If it is local it CANNOT be 
Linux.  It must be a windows host.  If I had the capability of doing a linux 
box or VM I would already be using GitLab, because i know it.  But since I 
can't do linux, I need a windows or cloud solution for this.  

  And trust me, I've already searched a hundred times for what i'm looking for 
and I keep getting routed to GitLab or GitHub.  I need a different solution.  
  Now i don't know what API GitHub uses, and it appears you can do a single

"personal" that seems to allow unlimited private projects for $7 a month, but I

Re: [git-users] GIT and Hosting Remote Repositories

[Charles Manning]

The thing about systems like git is that there is no "central repository"
except by convention.

That means you can host a local repository on a local server as well as
storing it in github or some other cloud service. No one repository is more
"central" than the other.

"git server for linux" on google will give you many hits.

[git-users] GIT and Hosting Remote Repositories

[JaedenRuiner]

So,

Simple question.  I do my own development, a lot.  Now, I've been using GIT 
at work and figured it was about time to set up my own version control on 
my personal stuff. 
I've installed GIT and it is all ready to go, but I currently have only 
"local" repositories.  There is no, "remote" to compare to.  At work we use 
GitLab.  This seemed the easy route for me to go, since I already know 
both, but I can't seem to use their own API against their website.  It 
seems their website may only be a temporary testing ground and not the full 
product, which has to be run on a Linux server and Apache.  I do not have 
one, nor can I get to one easily, (nor do I want to deal with the hassle).

So, since GitLab is out, I wanted to know if there is any "software" or 
other such Git setup that will allow me to host a central "remote 
repository"?  I don't want to deal with only the local repositories, 
regardless of the powerful branching system, I want a central repository of 
everything, so I can manage my current production versions.  I am perfectly 
okay with using a cloud based system of a self hosting concept is not 
available, as long as it doesn't cost too much (free would be preferable), 
and there is a grace period for validating it can do what I need.  I need 
the ability to manage nearly 100 projects, at less than a gig of storage 
space necessary.  

Any Ideas?

Thanks
