| | | 4. A regression in Gitblit. :(

| | | ### Why can't I access Gitblit-Go from another machine?
|
|---|
| | | Please check *server.httpBindInterface* and *server.httpsBindInterface* in `gitblit.properties`.

| | | ### How do I run Gitblit-Go on port 80 or 443 in Linux?
|
|---|
| | | And of course ensure that any firewall you may have running either has an exception for your ports or for the running process.
|

| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### How do I run Gitblit GO on port 80 or 443 in Linux?
|
|---|
| | | Linux requires root permissions to serve on ports < 1024.<br/>
|
|---|
| | | Run the server as *root* (security concern) or change the ports you are serving to 8080 (http) and/or 8443 (https).

|
|---|
| | | ### Gitblit GO does not list my repositories?!
|
|---|
| | | Confirm that the value *git.repositoriesFolder* in `gitblit.properties` actually points to your repositories folder.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Gitblit WAR does not list my repositories?!
|
|---|
| | | Confirm that the <context-param> *git.repositoriesFolder* value in your `web.xml` file actually points to your repositories folder.
|

| | |
|

| | | ### Gitblit WAR will not authenticate any users?!
|
|---|
| | | Confirm that the <context-param> *realm.userService* value in your `web.xml` file actually points to a `users.properties` file.

| | |
|
|---|
| | | Gitblit is not meant to be a social coding resource like [Github](http://github.com) or [Bitbucket](http://bitbucket.com) with 100s or 1000s of users. Gitblit is designed to fulfill the same function as your centralized Subversion or CVS server.

| | | ### Why does Gitblit exist?
|
|---|
| | | ### Why does Gitblit exist when there is Git and Gitweb?
|
|---|
| | | As a Java developer I prefer that as much of my tooling as possible is Java.<br/>
|
|---|
| | | Originally, I was going to use [Mercurial](http://mercurial.selenic.com) but...
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | Gitblit eliminates all that complication with its 100% Java stack and simple single configuration file.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | Additionally, Git and Gitweb do not offer repository creation or user management.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Do I need real Git?
|
|---|
| | | No. Gitblit is based on [JGit][jgit] which is a pure Java implementation of the [Git version control system][git].<br/>
|
|---|
| | | Everything you need for Gitblit is either in the zip distribution file or automatically downloaded on execution.
|
|---|
| | | Everything you need for Gitblit (except Java) is either bundled in the distribution file or automatically downloaded on execution.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Can I run Gitblit in conjunction with my existing Git tooling?
|
|---|
| | | Yes.
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | | ### Can I manually edit users.properties, gitblit.properties, or .git/config?
|
|---|
| | | Yes. You can manually manipulate all of them and (most) changes will be immediately available to Gitblit.<br/>Exceptions to this are noted in `gitblit.properties`.

| | | *NOTE:* Care must be taken to preserve the relationship between user roles and repository names.<br/>Please see the [setup](/setup.html) page for details.

| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Can I restrict access to paths within a repository?
|
|---|
| | | No. Access restrictions apply to the repository as a whole.
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | | Gitblit's simple authentication and authorization mechanism can be used to facilitate one or more of the [workflows outlined here](http://progit.org/book/ch5-1.html). Should you require more fine-grained access controls you might consider using [gitolite](https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite).
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Can I authenticate users against XYZ?
|
|---|
| | | Yes. The login service is pluggable. You may write your own authentication module by implementing the *ILoginService* interface. Set the fully qualified classname as the *realm.realmFile* property.
|
|---|
| | | Yes. The user service is pluggable. You may write your own user service by implementing the *com.gitblit.IUserService* interface. Set the fully qualified classname as the *realm.userService* property.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Why doesn't Gitblit support SSH?
|
|---|
| | | Gitblit could integrate [Apache Mina][mina] to provide SSH access. However, doing so violates Gitblit's first design principle: [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle).<br/>
