Gitosis is a Python tool for hosting Git repositories on a server, managing access over SSH using public keys without giving users shell accounts. It provides tight per-repository access control through a configuration file stored in a Git repository itself.
Use cases
- host git repositories on my own server
- give team members git access without shell accounts
- manage git repository permissions via ssh keys
- self-host a lightweight git server
- control who can push to which git repo
- replace manual authorized_keys management for git
When to choose
- you want a simple, lightweight self-hosted git server on Linux
- you need SSH-key-based access control without shell accounts
- you prefer managing repo permissions through a git-managed config file
When to avoid
- you need a modern web interface, pull requests, or issue tracking (use Gitea, GitLab, or Forgejo)
- you want actively maintained software with recent releases
- you need fine-grained features like CI integration or LDAP auth
