## Gitblit GO Features
- Out-of-the-box integrated stack requiring minimal configuration
- Automatically generates a self-signed certificate for *localhost* https communications<br/>(includes script to generate a self-signed certificate for *your hostname*, see [setup](/setup.html) for details)
- Single text file for configuring server and gitblit
- A Windows service installation script and configuration tool

## Limitations
- HTTP/HTTPS are the only supported protocols
- Access controls are not path-based, they are repository-based
- Only Administrators can create, rename or delete repositories
- Only Administrators can create, modify or delete users
- Native Git may be needed to periodically run git-gc as [JGit][jgit] does not fully support the git-gc featureset.

### Caveats
- Gitblit may eat your data.  Use at your own risk.
- Gitblit may have security holes.  Patches welcome.  :)

## Todo List
