GitHub Launches GitHub Enterprise

GitHub has launched GitHub Enterprise: a self-hosted GitHub for your company. GitHub is a social network for programmers.Its a web-based hosting service for software development projects that use the Git revision control system.

GitHub Enterprise has all the features you expect from GitHub: commit histories, code browsing, compare views, pull requests, issues, wikis, gists, organizations and team management, powerful APIs, and a beautiful web interface. With GitHub Enterprise, you can run those features locally, on your own server.

GitHub Enterprise features.

Support for LDAP and CAS so you can use your existing corporate authentication systems. Full system backups of all of your data. And custom server-side Git hooks if you have specific, low-level needs. We also help you set up access over HTTPS so you can be safe and secure.

GitHub Enterprise is priced at $5,000 per 20 users, per year. The package: code browsing, code review, issue tracking, wikis. No extra software to buy, no extra software to install, no extra software to manage.

GitHub Now Uses Ace to Edit & Commit on the Cloud

New feature on GitHub: files in repositories can now be edited and committed right in the browser. Before committing, the differences can be previewed as well.

The feature appears as a button for logged-in GitHub users and comes in two versions: "Edit" and "Fork And Edit this file". Members of a project can edit and commit a file right away. If the user is not associated with the repository, the button becomes "Fork and Edit this file", which forks the project and and then opens the file in the editor.

The editing feature is implemented using the ACE editor, which brings many features like syntax highlighting, line wrapping, etc to the browser. ACE is the editor that powers the Cloud9 IDE among other projects, and replaced the Canvas-based editing component in Mozilla's Bespin/Skywriter project.

GitHub for Mac Released

GitHub have launched a desktop client for Mac OS X called simply GitHub for Mac. Although there are several desktop Git clients for Mac already (Git Tower, GitX and others), the popularity of GitHub generally is likely to see a surge in interest to this new product.

The application itself is implemented in Objective-C, but uses the objective-git wrapper for libgit2. However, the user interface uses Chameleon, which is a UIKit port to OSX. This is the same library that is used to implement the Twitterific application. Although it's unlikely that it would make sense, this opens the door to GitHub for Mac being ported to GitHub for iPad in the future.

GitHub for Mac aims to make it easier to clone a repository from the website with the "Clone in Mac" button, create a fork, commit and upload changes.
