What free (as in freedom), libre, open source GitHub alternatives might work best on shared web hosts, or could most easily be modified to work well on a shared web host?


I haven't tried any yet, so I'm not sure how well these will work, but these 3 seem like possibilities:


* GitList, written in PHP: http://gitlist.org/

https://github.com/klaussilveira/gitlist


* GitPrep, written in Perl: http://gitprep.yukikimoto.com/

https://github.com/yuki-kimoto/gitprep


* Phabricator, written in PHP - https://phacility.com/phabricator/

https://github.com/phacility/phabricator


However, the Phabricator Installation Guide says:

"A Shared Host: This may work, but is not recommended. Many shared hosting environments have restrictions which prevent some of Phabricator's features from working. Consider using a normal computer instead. We do not support shared hosts."

Still, I'm mentioning it because perhaps it might be possible to make a version of Phabricator that would definitely work well on a shared web host.


I'm also interested in anything that could possibly be useful in building a GitHub alternative for shared web hosts. Like this:


* Gitter, written in PHP -

Quote:

"Gitter allows you to interact in an object oriented manner with Git repositories via PHP."


Thanks for any ideas!
