If yes, can you recommend any gui tool for gitosis and gitolite?

I don't think so. I read most of the documents online before raise this question. I have read this yesterday. – Charles Brown May 18 '15 at 03:57

I just want to have access control to my git repository. Sadly most of the tutorial focuses on unix / linux – Charles Brown May 18 '15 at 03:58

I afraid it cannot pass our ISO standard. Anyway I have a question here, if I am using gitlab, can the owner of gitlab easily steal our code? From my previous understanding, it is quite safe. – Charles Brown May 18 '15 at 04:04

1Just use Git! It includes both – Yahs Hef May 18 '15 at 04:06

But, there is no tutorial to setup gitosis and gitolite using windows. – Charles Brown May 18 '15 at 04:09

No, this is not what I mean. Git includes gitosis AND gitolite. Once you have Git downloaded and it's set up, you will have gitosis and gitolite ready. – Yahs Hef May 18 '15 at 04:11

Just for information, gitolite replaces gitosis which is dead since 2009. And git (even Git for Windows) most definitively does *not* include gitolite, which is a collection of perl script managing authorization after authentication. And Git does not do authentication. – VonC May 18 '15 at 05:50

gitolite replaces gitosis which is dead since 2009.
Git (even the latest Git for Windows 2.4.1 release) most definitively does not include gitolite, which is a collection of perl script managing authorization after authentication.
Git does not do authentication, so it has not reason to include an authorization layer (which is based on authentication).
Gitolite doc reports some Windows issues, but the main roadblock is having an ssh daemon server calling git for windows.
An easier solution would be to manage your Git server (including Gitolite) in a docker container (choose one from this list), through boot2docker (a Linux VM with docker pre-installed)
