I might have a look at installing GitLab - but I'm not sure if the additional features are worth the complexity and dependencies on SES (Someone Else's Software), given that we already have "on-premises" git repos that work just fine.
I fully accept that for someone with limited Linux experience a graphical GitLab option could be attractive.
You are right, of course. This is just one possible solution, but it does not work for everyone - just like some developers prefer SVN over Git. I try to avoid answering questions like "what is the best software for X", and I do not endorse anything as a "best and only solution" - but I try to show different options there are available for developers who are interested to try out and see how things work. I leave it to each developer himself to decide what is best for him.
