<h2 id='H1'>What is Gitblit?</h2><p>Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving <a href="http://git-scm.com" title="Official Git Site">Git</a> repositories.<br/>It's designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories.</p>
<h3 id='H2'>GO: Single-Stack Solution</h3><p><em>Gitblit GO</em> is an integrated, single-stack solution based on Jetty.</p><p>You do not need Apache httpd, Perl, Git, or Gitweb. Should you want to use some or all of those, you still can; Gitblit plays nice with the other kids on the block.</p><p>This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins.</p>
<h3 id='H3'>WAR: For Your Servlet Container</h3><p><em>Gitblit WAR</em> is what you should download if you already have a servlet container available that you wish to use. Jetty 6/7/8 and Tomcat 6/7 are known to work. Generally, any Servlet 2.5 or Servlet 3.0 container should work.</p>
<h3 id='H4'>You decide how to use Gitblit</h3><p>Gitblit can be used as a dumb repository viewer with no administrative controls or user accounts.<br/>Gitblit can be used as a complete Git stack for cloning, pushing, and repository access control.<br/>Gitblit can be used without any other Git tooling (including actual Git) or it can cooperate with your established tools.</p>
<h3 id='H5'>All Transports</h3><p>The SSH, HTTP, &amp; GIT protocols are supported and ready-to-go out of the box.</p>
<h3 id='H6'>Issue tracking with branch-based pull requests</h3><p>Gitblit blends elements of GitHub, BitBucket, and Gerrit to provide a streamlined collaboration workflow based on branches within the primary repository.</p>
<h3 id='H7'>Easy Remote Management</h3><p>Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams from the <em>Web UI</em>.<br/>Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams from the <em>JSON RPC interface</em> using the <a href="http://dl.bintray.com/gitblit/releases/manager-1.8.0.zip">Gitblit Manager</a> or your own custom tooling.<br/>Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams from the <em>command-line</em> using SSH &amp; the <a href="https://github.com/gitblit/gitblit-powertools-plugin">Powertools plugin</a>.</p>
<h3 id='H8'>Integration with Your Infrastructure</h3>
<ul>
<li>Extendable by plugins</li>
<li>Groovy push hook scripts</li>
<li>Pluggable user service mechanism
<ul>
<li>LDAP authentication with optional LDAP-controlled Team memberships</li>
<li>Redmine authentication</li>
<li>SalesForce.com authentication</li>
<li>Windows authentication</li>
<li>PAM authentication</li>
<li>Custom authentication, authorization, and user management</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Rich RSS feeds</li>
<li>JSON-based RPC mechanism</li>
<li>Java Client RSS/JSON API library for custom integration</li>
</ul>
<h3 id='H9'>Backup Strategy</h3><p>Gitblit includes a backup mechanism (*federation*) which can be used to backup repositories and, optionally, user accounts, team definitions, server settings, &amp; Groovy push hook scripts from your Gitblit instance to another Gitblit instance or to a <a href="http://dl.bintray.com/gitblit/releases/fedclient-1.8.0.zip">Gitblit Federation Client</a>. Similarly, you can use the federation mechanism to aggregate individual workspace Gitblit instances to a common, centralized server.</p>
<h3 id='H10'>Java Runtime Requirement</h3><p>Gitblit requires a Java 7 Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java 7 Development Kit (JDK).
