GitHub Enterprise vs GitPrep

GitHub's UI is clean and intuitive. Each view is designed to not fill the screen with useless information.

For example, the repository view displays only the most crucial data about that repo - on the top it displays the number of commits, branches, releases and contributors. When clicked, each of them will take the user to a page that displays more detailed information.

GitHub enterprise is available for Amazon AWS, VMware and now on OpenStack KVM as well.
This facilitates the use of GitHub Enterprise for people already familiar with these platforms and allows teams to keep using their infrastructure of choice.

When linked to JIRA, branches, commit messages and pull requests can all reference JIRA issues. This allows JIRA to display information about your development activity in the corresponding issue.

GitHub Enterprise has powerful search features that allow users to search by file name or project name. It's one of GitHub's most powerful tools.

GitHub has improved the LDAP performance. By optimizing searching strategies, they have reduced significant network IO and total queries. Therefore, in some cases as much as 40 percent less data is transmitted on sign on.

Gists are ways to share code or have conversations about anything without needing a full git repo, and still, they work as git repos so they are versioned, forkable and usable from git.

GitHub does not render just markdown, it also renders geojson files, 3D models and csv files.

With GitHub Enterprise edits to code files and to files in general can be made inline right on the web page UI.

There is an option to test GitHub Enterprise for free for 45 days.

GitPrep supports private and public repositories.

GitPrep is written in Perl and uses SQLite as a database, this makes of GitPrep one of the lighter and less resource-intensive alternatives out there.

GitPrep's setup and installation is very easy. It's only for linux/unix systems though, but it requires just some commands on the terminal to install.
