Curious as to why you aren't hosting this on github? I would have loved to star it and then come back later.

I don't use github. I use cgit and gitolite. I also don't use Google Music or Amazon Music; I use ZX2C4 Music. I don't use Picasa either - I use PhotoFloat http://zx2c4.com/projects/photofloat/ . Pattern? I don't like relying on cloud services I can't maintain myself. Schneier's got some essay out there called "Feudal Security" or the like that's a decent summary of this position.

(I also happen to be the maintainer of cgit...)

Anyway, if you really must have it, I do mirror all my git repos to github as a free backup. Look under my account -- zx2c4.

Have you tried using gitlab (which leverages gitolite)?

No, I'll take a look. Though on first glance, I don't really want to be supporting some massive ruby on rails apparatus. I'm pretty much entirely satisfied with cgit -- it's small, minimal, easy to hack on, extensible, and suits all of my git web needs.

your web browser might have a feature similar to the github "star", called a bookmark.

my web browser (and the device I am using changes several times a day - so I must store my bookmarks in cloud). Of course, I could use a cloud bookmark service, or cloned the project to github, but as I said, I was just curious :)

But I wanna pay the repo some karma.
