This VM is created for 2 reasons: 1. Very little initial setup work required to make a GIT Server live, within minutes. 2. This system should keep running for Years, without requiring Updates / Breakages.
If you are new to Virtual Machines, then please watch the Video below ( taken from my other project. just replace td with gi wherever mentioned )

- A small correction in the Video below: Choose a LAN Card Network Adapter Connection in Virtualbox ( Not Wifi ), after connecting your PC to your Router / Switch, with a LAN Cable. If the Router / Switch has a DHCP Server enabled inside, then the Virtual Machine, will be able to obtain an IP Address from it, quickly.
- As this system is meant for local network usage, it uses a self-signed https certificate. Hence, browsers will throw a warning for the first time. Please accept the same and proceed ahead.
