What is a good git server frontend for self hosted git repositories

frontend, git, github

Solution

I've used both gitweb and cgit in the past. I like cgit better, but both should be fine. FWIW, kernel.org exposes the Linux kernel trees through gitweb, and cgit is used by a lot of big open source projects (as listed on the wiki page that you reference), so I don't think you can go wrong with either :)

Problem

I am planning on deploying git for a project I am currently working on and was wondering if there are any free softwares that provide an easy to use web view of the git repository. I am primarily interested in using the front end to track changes, see diff information etc. There is a list of such front ends available here. Does anyone have any experience with any of these ? Which one would you suggest An open source clone of github would do just fine actually :D but I know thats too much to ask .
