Gitorious is a web-based hosting service for collaborative free and open-source software development projects that use the Git revision control system.[2] The name also refers to the free and open-source server software that the Web site is developed and hosted on.[3] According to the Git User's Survey in 2011, Gitorious is the second most popular hosting service for Git, with 11.7% of respondents indicating they use it, behind 87.5% using GitHub.[4] In August 2013, Gitorious AS was acquired by Norwegian and Polish Powow AS.[5]

Features

In addition to source code hosting, Gitorious provides projects with wikis, a web interface for merge requests and code reviews, and activity timelines for projects and developers.[6]

Gitorious AS also releases the Gitorious software under the AGPLv3 [7] as free software.
