Installation of github on a windows SERVER - github

I see on github for windows it's for windows 7 and 8.
can you install it on windows server 2008 r2?
i have a fire walled server that is for our .net code as our team foundation server so I was going to use the same server to host our source control for cocoa/mac applications we have...

If you are after a Git server (as in able to host git repos), you can consider, on Windows, the Bonobo Git server.
It knows how to interface with IIS, and is compatible with various Windows releases, including windows server 2008 r2.

Subversion see who is currently working on a file?

I'm using VisualSVN as my Subversion server. How can I see who is currently working on a file or files? And also how can I see who has checked out a file and when? I am open to using a different program but it needs to be compatible with Windows. My server is on Windows Server 2012 R2. My team works in Windows 7 (in the future will be upgrading to Windows 10). The VisualSVN has a web interface but it just shows who has checked-IN a file.

mongodb on windows 10 without windows server 2008?

I'd like to install MongoDB Community Edition on my computer, which has the 64-bit Windows 10 Home OS, but the system requirements say I need Windows Server 2008 to do it.
I don't think my computer has Windows Server 2008. Is there any way around this? For example, would it work for small-scale databases, or is it totally incompatible without Windows Server 2008?
If I absolutely can't use MongoDB, is there another non-relational database that would work with my system? (It would have to be free.)
I admit that the download site is a bit confusing.
But you can simply download the MSI and install it on your Windows 10 machine. A Windows Server version is not required for the community edition.
Disclaimer: I have it on a Pro (Windows 7 and 10, without Windows 2008 or any other server) edition, not on a Home edition, but I'm pretty sure that it will work in the local machine context)

Is it possible to install Remote Server Administrative Tools on a Windows Server 2012?

I understand that RSAT is used to manage domain controllers remotely from a computer that is not a domain controller,I found links to download RSAT for Windows 8, 7 or Vista, but nothing to download it on a windows server. I need to use it on a windows server 2012, is this possible ?
On Windows Server 2012 (and 2008 as well) the Remote Server Administration Tools are available for installation using the Add Roles and Features wizard, so you don't need to download it like you would on a client OS, eg you can install the tools from there without installing the associated roles.
You'll find it under Features and you can then install all of them or just those tools you need. You'll also find Group Policy Management listed separately under the features list, though I'm not sure why it's not listed under the RSAT items.

Can't sftp to remote server via SSH using RSE in eclipse while on VPN(Cisco AnyConnect)

Everything is fine while I'm using Windows XP but after upgrading to windows 7, I can no longer access remote systems (vms and linux servers) using RSE in eclipse while on VPN(Cisco AnyConnect). I'm getting pop-up message RSEG1066 -- Failed to connect sshd on :22. detail button says "java.net.SocketException: Permission denied: connect"
I can access those systems via SSH in putty from the same Windows environment. Any eclipse users here experiencing the same problem?
Looks like the module used by RSE to connect to the remote server is not yet compatible with java 7. Reverting back to older version (java 6 in my case) solves the issue.
