[Git] Hosting service with no size limit?

Development Programming & Scripting C++

Hello !

I am searching for a Git hosting service (like BitBucket or GitHub) but with no size limit (eg. BitBucket limits repositories to 2Gb).
Do you know any service like that with not size limitations?

Thanks a lot ! :smiley:

If you are willing to do some work you can get a server through Digital Ocean, they have a default image for Gitlab Community Edition and is currently what we use for Gobbo Games. The server costs me $20.00 a month and there are no limits on users and repository sizes because it is a dedicated cloud server. 8-}

You can use what @qdelpeche suggested or you can use Gitlab first and see how it is. Why would you want a service with no size limit in the first place? Gitlab provides up to 10gb disk space per project and I think that is more than enough if you’re an indie developer or if you’re doing any small scale projects.

The problem is that my projet is not a small project ^^ . Thanks I will take a look on that :wink:

I see haha then you can try hosting your own server than :slight_smile:

Yeah, why not? For the moment the 10 Gb from GitLab will be fine :wink:

Please bare in mind that Git is not designed for binary files, also the repo will slow done near the 2GB mark. I would not use Git for the whole project, SVN, Mercurial (with large file support), Perforce or Plastic are better option to have the whole project in a single VCS.

If you really want to use Git take advantage of the LFS system, not really fast either but you wont screw how git handles large files.
