Free Git Repositories you can rely on
Over 170,000 users have chosen Assembla to accelerate their projects and manage their code. All of Assembla's Git Repositories are housed in datacenters with world-class physical security and firewalling, and come with 128-Bit SSL Encryption (HTTPS).
All repositories are stored in a SAN (Storage Area Network) with built-in backup w/ failover and redundancy. In addition, we sync to off-site backups to protect you against the extremely unlikely worst-case scenario data-loss where all datacenter systems fail permanently. We also give you the option to get your OWN backups delivered automatically to your own Amazon S3 storage account automatically.
When you choose a free private Git repository, you can keep your intellectual property safe from prying eyes; only the people you invite to be a member of your space can see your code, and you can also put in place IP-restrictions to restrict usage to specific computers and networks.
