Guest Account / Public Clone Access

Created by: eceforge

I was wondering if there was way to allow public clone access to some repositories..

I thought maybe I could just create a guest account but then unless I generate a new public and private key (and distribute to anyone that wants to access) nobody can really use the guest account. It also seems like more trouble than the average passer by is willing to go through just to browse some code.

I'm running an Ubuntu box so I guess I could just setup a git daemon but then I don't get the glorious interface of gitlab and I would have to list all the public projects.....basically I'm back at gitweb which is no fun.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

It would be a nice feature to see (also maybe a download as zip feature like github so that non-tech savvy people could still download the code without having to install git and then clone etc...)
