I am looking for recommendations for an open source self-hosted version control system source code hosting service. I found a few, but I can’t decide on which one to pick:
If there’s a better one than the ones I’ve listed here, I’d love to hear about it!
I care primarily about privacy and security, if that makes any difference.
Git does have a server component. When git connects to an ssh remote it executes an ssh command that needs to be present.
You are right! I was fooled by my server already having git installed and this requirement not being mentioned anywhere. I guess that explains why it uses SSH rather than SCP/SFTP.
