| JM | 28 | ## What is Gitblit? |
| 85c2e6 | 29 | |
| ed9953 | 30 | Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving [Git][git] repositories. |
| JM | 31 | It's designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories. |
| 85c2e6 | 32 | |
| ed9953 | 33 | ### GO: Single-Stack Solution |
| 3b5289 | 34 | |
| ed9953 | 35 | *Gitblit GO* is an integrated, single-stack solution based on Jetty. |
| b774de | 36 | |
| ed9953 | 37 | 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 | 38 | |
| 39 | This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins. | |
| b774de | 40 | |
| ed9953 | 41 | ### WAR: For Your Servlet Container |
| 493ab0 | 42 | *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 | 43 | |
| 1ab5b3 | 44 | ### Express: For the Cloud |
| b774de | 45 | *Gitblit Express* is a prepared distribution for [RedHat's OpenShift][rhcloud] cloud service. |
| 85c2e6 | 46 | |
| ed9953 | 47 | ### You decide how to use Gitblit |
| 3b5289 | 48 | |
| ed9953 | 49 | Gitblit can be used as a dumb repository viewer with no administrative controls or user accounts. |
| JM | 50 | Gitblit can be used as a complete Git stack for cloning, pushing, and repository access control. |
| 51 | Gitblit can be used without any other Git tooling (including actual Git) or it can cooperate with your established tools. | |

| b4573f | 53 | ### Easy Remote Management |
| 85c2e6 | 54 | |
| b4573f | 55 | Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams from the *Web UI*. |
| JM | 56 | Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams from the *JSON RPC interface* using the [Gitblit Manager](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%MANAGER%) or your own custom tooling. |
| 69eeaa | 57 | Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams from the *command-line* using the [Powertools plugin](https://github.com/gitblit/gitblit-powertools-plugin). |
| ed9953 | 58 | |
| 493ab0 | 59 | ### Integration with Your Infrastructure |
| ed9953 | 60 | |
| 69eeaa | 61 | - Extendable by plugins |
| fa54be | 62 | - Groovy push hook scripts |
| 6e15cb | 63 | - Pluggable user service mechanism |
| JM | 64 | - LDAP authentication with optional LDAP-controlled Team memberships |
| 2659e7 | 65 | - Redmine authentication |
| JM | 66 | - SalesForce.com authentication |
| 67 | - Windows authentication | |
| 68 | - PAM authentication | |
| 6e15cb | 69 | - Custom authentication, authorization, and user management |
| ed9953 | 70 | - Rich RSS feeds |
| JM | 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 | ||
| df162c | 76 | Gitblit includes a backup mechanism (*federation*) which can be used to backup repositories and, optionally, user accounts, team definitions, server settings, & Groovy push hook scripts 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 | |
| e22185 | 80 | Gitblit requires a Java 7 Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java 7 Development Kit (JDK). |
