I use SourceTree as git client and i can not create remote repos with it. I would like to use app with some sort of gui so i can avoid creating remote repos in terminal. What are my options. I use mac os.

*Update: I would like to connect to our in-house git server.

Tnx

It depends on what is the remote Git repo hosting service.

For GitHub, for instance, you can use GitHub for Mac to publish a new local repo to a new remote GitHub repo.

Not all hosting service provide that kind of feature though.
For an in-house hosting service, there is no direct way to create a repo through a GUI directly on the remote server with Git alone: that bare repo needs to be created on the server first, before the GUI can clone it on the client.

If you can install a local hosting repo service, like for instance GitLab, then you create repio on the server through the GitLab GUI.

  • I see. Sorry i forgot to mention. (I have updated question too.) I would like to connect to our in-house git server. – Luka Mis Nov 17 '14 at 11:17
  • @LukaMis ok, I have updated the answer. By "creating remote repo", you mean the `git init --bare` you have to do on the server? – VonC Nov 17 '14 at 11:27
  • @@VonC Yes git init --bare. I guess i need some sort of app that allows me to create and delete folders and repos on server with button of some sort instead of terminal. Something like gitstack for windows. Our in house server is linux and it has git server installed. Now i would like to connect to this server and be able to create folders and repos visually instead via terminal. – Luka Mis Nov 19 '14 at 09:46
  • @LukaMis Ok, that sounds like what GitLab (https://about.gitlab.com/) can provide. I have updated the answer accordingly. – VonC Nov 19 '14 at 09:59
  • @@VonC We will give a gitlab a go and see how it goes. Tnx. – Luka Mis Nov 21 '14 at 09:12
