On: GitHub Firewall Install (your own github)

This is one of the main reasons that I'm not using Git at work, there hasn't been a super solid way to get the Github functionality on an internal network where it's 100% secure. This is a REALLY smart move for the guys at Github.

You can use Git without Github, you know.

Yees, but these folks aren't early adopters. A lot of the people here don't even use (or approve of) key based SSH logins =/

agreed. I don't feel comfortable uploading all my code to a third party, which in this case is even located in a different country I'm not familiar with the legislation details.

I'm using gitosis and redmine internally now, but this one is really interesting

But you're comfortable running a binary as root?

[burke → judofyr]

Running a binary as root is pretty different from uploading all of your company's intellectual property to a foreign corporation's servers.

Not to be pedantic, but there's no way that you're going to make anything 100% secure, even if you host it internally. I do agree with your point though and can understand some companies wanting to keep all of their code in-house though.
