Dropbox as a Git Server

I've never tried it, but couldn't you theoretically make another github account using your email (assuming you use gmail) with a "+whatever" in it, and use that to create an infinite number of new github accounts? I believe gmail redirects [email protected] to [email protected].

Of course, just using Gitlab is the more sensible option :)

[EDIT] - as lfowles pointed out, github doesn't private repos on free-tier accounts, so this is pointless.

Github has no private repositories in the free tier.

I would personally prefer gogits - since its simpler than GitLab.

But since I am a ghetto peasant without a static IP address I prefer to keep everything in what the cool kids call "The Cloud".

I was referring to gitlab's hosted option (maybe I'm not the only one that didn't know this existed until recently) - https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in

I assume you're running your own VPS with gogits/gogs running on it?
