Gitorious was a shared web hosting service for collaborative free and open-source software development projects that use the Git revision control system.[3] The name also refers to the free and open-source server software that the Web site is developed and hosted on.[4] According to the Git User's Survey in 2011, Gitorious was the second most popular hosting service for Git, with 11.7% of respondents indicating they use it, behind 87.5% using GitHub.[5] On 3 March 2015, Gitorious was acquired by GitLab B.V., who announced service through gitorious.org would be discontinued on 1 June 2015 and encouraged Gitorious users to make use of its import tools to migrate projects to GitLab.

Features and constraints

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]

According to the terms of service,[7] if bandwidth usage for an account, project or repository exceeds 500 MB/month, or significantly exceeds the average bandwidth usage of other Gitorious.org users or customers, Gitorious.org reserves the right to immediately disable or throttle the account, project or repository until the account owner can reduce the bandwidth consumption.

Gitorious AS also releases the Gitorious software under the AGPLv3 [8] as free software.

Acquisitions

In August 2013, Gitorious AS was acquired by Norwegian and Polish Powow AS.[9]

Gitorious was then acquired by GitLab as of 3 March 2015. GitLab kept gitorious.org online through May 2015 and added an automatic migration function for project to move to GitLab.com which offers both paid and free hosting services and maintains an open source "community" edition for self-hosting.[10][11]

At the time of the GitLab acquisition, there were four Powow employees behind Gitorious. GitLab CEO Sytse Sijbrandij, responding to comments about the acquisition on Hacker News, wrote that "[Powow] wanted to shut the company down without a bankruptcy". So, GitLab, as a way to bolster their user base, bought Gitorious even though they were not hiring the employees or using the Gitorious software. In addition to providing optional migration to GitLab.com, GitLab opened discussions with Archive.org about preserving the Gitorious repositories for historical reference.[12] As of mid-2016, as a result of efforts by GitLab, ex-Gitorious staff, and Archive Team, Gitorious.org exists as a read-only mirror of its former self, containing some 120,000 repositories comprising 5TB of data.[13]
