Gitorious, hosting and collaboration tools provide open source infrastructure for hosting open source projects that use Gitorious. Its central entity is the project, which contains one or more top-level repositories and any repositories managed by the project's contributors. This allows its users, as project administrators, to keep an eye on what people are working on in their individual clones of its users’ repositories.


Gitorious lets users merge or provide feedback on their contributions. Likewise, as project contributors, users get a place to host their contributions and provide feedback back into the projects ecosystem and easily collaborate with others on the same project. Its users get their own personal clone of the project on the site that they can work freely in and a way to package up their changes and notify the other project members about their changes.


Gitorious’ features include project hosting, hosting of official project repositories, hosting of project repository clones, project wikis, public merge requests and code review, project activity timeline, developer profiles and activity timelines, built in notification systems, free for open source projects, and commercial support and customizations available.


Gitorious was launched in 2007 by Johan Sørensen.
