Are there alternatives to gitosis that are easier to use?

I currently run gitosis on a Ubuntu server for my lab. We regularly add new users and repos. I find the gitosis.conf syntax non-intuitive, and if I make even a minor mistake the whole gitosis system fails, see for example this question on SO. When gitosis fails it also kills access to the git repository that contains gitosis.conf... go figure... There must be a better way.

I've thought about private GitHub accounts, but is there anything else that I could host locally?

Gitolite might be a solution.
