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:
- *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.
- *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 RPC Client* - a Java Swing tool to clone repositories and remotely administer a Gitblit server
- *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).
