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: our phabricator accepts ldap logins plus oauth; phabricator might still be a decent way of managing your repositories. It's essentially the same thing as gitolite but with a lot more automation around account management, key management and hooks... you have to deal with account management yourself, 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

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
