Apache Foundation Git

Please contact the infrastructure-dev@apache.org mailing list if you have comments or suggestions regarding this service.

Apache Software Foundation infrastructure has evolved over more than a decade, with several major internal revisions, leading to the current implementations. ASF infrastructure design has concepts of mirrors (sites) and committers (people) built-in throughout. The ability of an ASF project to semi-autonomously create its own repositories and web presence, which then benefits from shared authentication, backup and other infrastructure services, is fundamental. Core servers were BSD and Solaris as well as Linux.

Debian Project Git

The Debian Project hosts extensive, custom-built project and package infrastructure including a comprehensive git interface using cgit, replacing an earlier gitweb system (when?).

Wikimedia Foundation Git

twentyafterfour on #wikimedia-labs: phabricator might still be a decent way of managing your repositories; our phabricator accepts LDAP logins plus OAuth. It's essentially the same thing as gitolite but with a lot more automation around account management, key management and hooks. Phabricator integrates all of that into one package (which can still be somewhat automated / integrated with other tools) Gitolite likely doesn't support LDAP; certainly a lot lighter weight than Phab stack, if you are comfortable with perl and don't mind doing a bit of integration work; you have to deal with account management yourself.

mutante on #wikimedia-devtools says: we currently use gerrit for code review gerrit.wikimedia.org and gitblit for git.wikimedia.org. Things are being migrated to phabricator.wikimedia.org though diffusion. You are in the right channel. You can git clone all of our server configs btw. it's a puppet repo and all public. you might also be interested in wikitech.wikimedia.org, our labs environment where you can get free virtual machines to test things
