gitolite is very nice insofar as it goes. I've used it a lot, and still
use it in various places. But it and GitHub are fairly different things.
It's just the repository management (with a very nice ACL system), and is
the most useful if you're following a hub and spoke model for your
repositories. If you want the whole pull request flow, code review, or
the many nice API integrations with things like continuous build and test
of proposed merges, gitolite doesn't really help.
Another approach is Gerrit, which is very nice if you have an up-front
code review requirement, but which is hard to package given its
substantial Java dependencies. But the world seems to be moving more
towards the GitHub pull and fork model than the Gerrit up-front code
review model.
