Kallithea
Kallithea is a member project of Software Freedom Conservancy. It is a cross-platform free software source code management system. This system was developed to provide a repository hosting service with features for collaboration that include code review, forking, issue tracking, and pull requests among others. Kallithea supports two popular version control systems: GIT and Mercurial. Kallithea is a fork of RhodeCode, which was built after the original developer had renewed the license terms. This system also has a web interface that is easy to use for both users and administrators. In order to host repositories for the version control system you prefer, install Kallithea 0.3.3, which is the latest release, on your server.
