KTH GitHub

Description

KTH GitHub is the corporate version of GitHub.com and works exactly the same as the public free version, giving users the opportunity to move projects between the public free version (Github.com) and the local version provided by KTH (KTH GitHub).

KTH GitHub requires users to log in with their KTH accounts, and projects uploaded to the server cannot be made accessible to users without an active KTH account.
