Are there any revision control systems (git preferred) that could run on shared hosting server presumably by being launched as CGI scripts?

  • Could you elaborate more? Do you want to host the repository or just pull the code down? What functionality are you looking for that github.com can't provide? – Flashman May 16 '11 at 12:56
  • I don't want to host it on github, because I want a repository for personal / private files. I want to host a repository on my server with shared hosting-- that means Ihave no terminal access. – Eric Pruitt May 17 '11 at 15:22
  • I believe this is the solution, you are looking for. http://serverfault.com/questions/26836/setting-up-a-git-repo-on-my-godaddy-hosting-plan – Shiro Dec 03 '12 at 05:49

According to its man page git-http-backend is "a simple CGI program to serve the contents of a Git repository to Git clients accessing the repository over http:// and https:// protocols".

  • That requires me to install git. Shared hosting means no command line access, just SFTP and a web control panel. I need something that I can upload as CGI scripts. – Eric Pruitt May 17 '11 at 15:23
  • You could try to upload git-http-backend binary but you need to find file compiled for your hosting OS. – AlexD May 17 '11 at 17:33
