Is there a Github clone that I can run on my own server?
Can i use Git without GitHub's service? What i mean is, i am only the person working on the project and don't want to push the project into the Git space. What do you think? Will this be a right decision? Or is there any lite github like server application available for internal use? Please share your thoughts.
When you download the repo it just gives you all the source files with no . git so you dont have the repo. When you clone you get a copy of the history and it is a functional git repo.
Git is a version control system that you download onto your computer. It is essential that you use Git if you want to collaborate with other developers on a coding project or work on your own project.
GitHub — Primary function. Git is a distributed version control system that records different versions of a file (or set of files). It lets users access, compare, update, and distribute any of the recorded version(s) at any time. However, GitHub is mainly a hosting platform for hosting Git repositories online.
Git: Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes in source code during software development. It is designed for coordinating work among programmers, but it can be used to track changes in any set of files.
Yes, git is independent of GitHub. If you push your source to GitHub the with a free account your project will need to be 'public' meaning anyone can read it. Other companies offer free private git repositories (I use Assembla
). But you can actually use git without any server as well, to maintain local version control. This is definitely good practice anyway. A server would give you the added advantage of off site backup.
