## What is Gitblit? Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving [Git][git] repositories. It's designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories. ### GO: Single-Stack Solution *Gitblit GO* is an integrated, single-stack solution based on Jetty. 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. This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins. ### WAR: For Your Servlet Container *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. ### You decide how to use Gitblit Gitblit can be used as a dumb repository viewer with no administrative controls or user accounts. Gitblit can be used as a complete Git stack for cloning, pushing, and repository access control. Gitblit can be used without any other Git tooling (including actual Git) or it can cooperate with your established tools. ### All Transports The SSH, HTTP, & GIT protocols are supported and ready-to-go out of the box. ### Issue tracking with branch-based pull requests Gitblit blends elements of GitHub, BitBucket, and Gerrit to provide a streamlined collaboration workflow based on branches within the primary repository. ### Easy Remote Management Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams from the *Web UI*. Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams from the *JSON RPC interface* using the [Gitblit Manager](%GCURL%manager-${project.releaseVersion}.zip) or your own custom tooling. Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams from the *command-line* using SSH & the [Powertools plugin](https://github.com/gitblit/gitblit-powertools-plugin). ### Integration with Your Infrastructure - Extendable by plugins - Groovy push hook scripts - Pluggable user service mechanism - LDAP authentication with optional LDAP-controlled Team memberships - Redmine authentication - SalesForce.com authentication - Windows authentication - PAM authentication - Custom authentication, authorization, and user management - Rich RSS feeds - JSON-based RPC mechanism - Java Client RSS/JSON API library for custom integration ### Backup Strategy Gitblit includes a backup mechanism (*federation*) which can be used to backup repositories and, optionally, user accounts, team definitions, server settings, & Groovy push hook scripts from your Gitblit instance to another Gitblit instance or to a [Gitblit Federation Client](%GCURL%fedclient-${project.releaseVersion}.zip). Similarly, you can use the federation mechanism to aggregate individual workspace Gitblit instances to a common, centralized server. ### Java Runtime Requirement Gitblit requires a Java 7 Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java 7 Development Kit (JDK).
