| ed9953 | 31 | Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving [Git][git] repositories. |
| JM | 32 | It's designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories. |
| 85c2e6 | 33 | |
| b774de | 34 | You can browse a live demo [here](http://demo-gitblit.rhcloud.com) hosted on [RedHat's OpenShift][rhcloud] cloud service. |
| JM | 35 | |
| ed9953 | 36 | ### GO: Single-Stack Solution |
| 3b5289 | 37 | |
| ed9953 | 38 | *Gitblit GO* is an integrated, single-stack solution based on Jetty. |
| b774de | 39 | |
| ed9953 | 40 | 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. |
| JM | 41 | |
| 42 | This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins. | |
| b774de | 43 | |
| ed9953 | 44 | All dependencies are downloaded on first execution. |
| JM | 45 | |
| 46 | ### WAR: For Your Servlet Container | |
| 493ab0 | 47 | *Gitblit WAR* 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. |
| b774de | 48 | |
| JM | 49 | All dependencies are bundled. |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | ### Express: For the Cloud | |
| 52 | *Gitblit Express* is a prepared distribution for [RedHat's OpenShift][rhcloud] cloud service. | |
| 53 | ||
| ed9953 | 54 | All dependencies are bundled. |
| 85c2e6 | 55 | |
| ed9953 | 56 | ### You decide how to use Gitblit |
| 3b5289 | 57 | |
| ed9953 | 58 | Gitblit can be used as a dumb repository viewer with no administrative controls or user accounts. |
| JM | 59 | Gitblit can be used as a complete Git stack for cloning, pushing, and repository access control. |
| 60 | Gitblit can be used without any other Git tooling (including actual Git) or it can cooperate with your established tools. | |

| ed9953 | 62 | ### Easy Web Management |
| 85c2e6 | 63 | |
| ed9953 | 64 | Administrators can create and manage all repositories & user accounts from the *Web UI*. |
| JM | 65 | Administrators can create and manage all repositories & user accounts from the *JSON RPC interface* using the [Gitblit Manager](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%MANAGER%) or your own custom tooling. |
| 66 | ||
| 493ab0 | 67 | ### Integration with Your Infrastructure |
| ed9953 | 68 | |
| JM | 69 | - Pluggable user service mechanism for custom authentication, authorization, and user management |
| 70 | - Rich RSS feeds | |
| 71 | - JSON-based RPC mechanism | |
| 493ab0 | 72 | - [Java Client RSS/JSON API library](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%API%) for custom integration |
| ed9953 | 73 | |
| JM | 74 | ### Backup Strategy |
| 75 | ||
| 76 | Gitblit includes a backup mechanism (*federation*) which can be used to backup repositories and, optionally, user accounts & server settings from your Gitblit instance to another Gitblit instance or to a [Gitblit Federation Client](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%FEDCLIENT%). Similarly, you can use the federation mechanism to aggregate individual workspace Gitblit instances to a common, centralized server. | |

| ed9953 | 78 | ### Java Runtime Requirement |
| JM | 79 | |
| 80 | Gitblit requires a Java 6 Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java 6 Development Kit (JDK). | |
