Overview

Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving Git repositories.

Its designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories.

Gitblit is available in two variations:

1. Gitblit GO - a complete & integrated pure Java stack

   This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins.
   Gitblit GO is like a mashup of Apache httpd, Git, and Gitweb with simplified configuration and maintenance.
   All dependencies are downloaded on first execution.

2. Gitblit WAR - a traditional WAR distribution

   This is what you should download if you want to deploy Gitblit into your own servlet container (e.g. Tomcat, Jetty, etc).
   All dependencies are bundled.

Tools

• Gitblit Federation Client - a command line tool to clone/pull groups of repositories and optionally users and settings

Java Runtime Requirement

Gitblit requires a Java 6 Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java 6 Development Kit (JDK).
