| ## Overview | |

| 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: | |
| 1. *Gitblit GO* - a complete & integrated pure Java stack | |
| This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins. | |
| Gitblit GO is like a mashup of Apache httpd, [Git][git], and Gitweb with simplified configuration and maintenance. | |
| All dependencies are downloaded on first execution. | |
| 2. *Gitblit WAR* - a traditional WAR distribution | |
| This is what you should download if you want to deploy Gitblit into your own servlet container (e.g. Tomcat, Jetty, etc). | |
| All dependencies are bundled. | |
| ### Tools | |
| - *Gitblit Manager* - a Java/Swing application for remote administration of a Gitblit server | |
| - *Gitblit Federation Client* - a command line tool to clone/pull groups of repositories and optionally users and settings | |
| ### Java Runtime Requirement | |
| Gitblit requires a Java 6 Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java 6 Development Kit (JDK). | |
