| Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving [Git][git] repositories.<br/> | |
| Its designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories. | |
| Gitblit is available in two variations: | |
| <ul class='noBullets'> | |
| <li>*Gitblit GO* - a complete & integrated pure Java stack<p> | |
| This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins.<br/> | |
| Gitblit GO is like a mashup of Apache httpd, [Git][git], and Gitweb with simplified configuration and maintenance.<br/> | |
| All dependencies are downloaded on first execution.<p> | |
| <li>*Gitblit WAR* - a traditional WAR distribution<p> | |
| This is what you should download if you want to deploy Gitblit into your own servlet container (e.g. Tomcat, Jetty, etc).<br/> | |
| All dependencies are bundled. | |
| </ul> | |
| ### Java Runtime Requirement | |
| Gitblit requires a Java 6 Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java 6 Development Kit (JDK). | |
