How can I have Github on my own server

Question

Is there anything out there like Github that is for your own local server   I am curious if there is like a PHP script or even a desktop client that mimics Github s functionality  I love Github but it would be nice to host on my own server   Apologies if this isn t considered  programming  enough but generally only programmers use GIT and Github    Update  First of all thanks for all the great suggestions  it is great to see there are options out there   From what is posted here and from my googling I can say it looks like the best looking most alike to Github solutions are coded in Ruby  which is great for some but I am a PHP kind of guy  for now    Most of the PHP GIT viewers either are  outdated and abandoned projects or they just look like crap   I realize I could fix them up to be more like Github  but I ran across something in PHP that looks promising so far   It is called Glip it is on Github here https   github com patrikf glip and to me it is the most attractive and easy to use solution I have found for PHP so far   For the advanced Git user  it may not be enough but for me  I just wanted to be able to view a git repo and that provides that functionality   Now my search still continues for the perfect solution  will I ever find it   I hope so but  for now  this is we got   I am considering writing my own  one that is attractive like Github and has other features like an Issue tracker for bug and feature requests   All the ones I have seen so far are not so good

I m quite surprised nobody mentioned the open-source project gogs  http   gogs io   or  a derived fork of it called gitea  http   gitea io  which basically offers the same what gitlab does  but with minimal system resources  low footprint   being perfect to run in a Raspberry Pi for example  Installation and maintenance is also way simpler

I searched for git PHP implementations too  but with no results  The only way to re-create a site similar to GitHub is to setup a  real  git server on your own server and then use a PHP git web client like http   www xiphux com programming gitphp    Unfortunatly  you can forget to do this with a hosting solution  You need a real virtual server where you can install everything you want   However  if you need a place where store some personal  non-public  non-accessible-to-everyone code for a project  you can try BitBucket  It offers private and private-shared git repos for free

The Community Edition lacks many import features like hooks  I recommend gerrit  It is light-weighted and open-source

You can run Git  not the whole Github  via Apache HTTP Server  so that you host the Git repo on your server s filesystem and expose it via HTTP  You get all Git functionalities  but obviously you won t be able to pull-request or track issues  Any tool attached to your self-hosted Git repo can implement the rest of the features   Reference  http   git-scm com docs git-http-backend
