Any GitHub alternative which supports "online editing"?

I am researching alternatives for GitHub and one essential feature I am looking for is - https://github.com/blog/905-edit-like-an-ace

I will prefer a self-hosted solution but we are open to online-hosting as well. In fact, GitHub.com itself is perfect fit for us except for their plan-structure. We want the option to have "unlimited repositories" which is not possible in any GitHub plan. (why we need "unlimited" is discussed here)

So far 2 solutions we liked so far are - Gitorious and Indefero. They are both nice. Though gitorious looks more polished, Indefero comes closer to our requirements.

Important features we are looking for in "Web-based" inferface are:

  1. Repos management (add/remove/edit)
  2. User management (add/remove/edit)
  3. Team management (add/remove/edit)
  4. Access control.
  5. Online editing (essential because small-edits can be done very quickly in this way)

Any suggestions. Or any "hacks" to make online-editing possible in Gitorious or Indefero or in any other solution. Any other git-hosting will also work if they provide above features + unlimited repos.

Thanks for all the help in advance.

Solution

  • Not sure if GitLab supports it yet, but take a look at http://gitlabhq.com/! It's the most promising GitHub alternative yet, it's for self-hosting though.
