| | | No. Git:Blit is based on [JGit][jgit] which is a pure Java implementation of the [Git version control system][git].<br/>
|
|---|
| | | Everything you need for Git:Blit is either in the zip distribution file or automatically downloaded on execution.

| | | ### Why doesn't Git:Blit support SSH?
|
|---|
| | | Git:Blit could integrate [Apache Mina](http://mina.apache.org) to provide SSH access. However, doing so violates design principle #1: KISS. SSH supports requires creating, exchanging, and managing SSH keys. While this is doable, its not simple like JGit's SmartHTTP implementation.
|
|---|
| | | ### Does Git:Blit use a database to store its data?
|
|---|
| | | No. Git:Blit stores its repository configuration information within the `.git/config` file and its user information in `users.properties` or whatever filename is configured in `gitblit.properties`.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | You might consider [Gerrit](http://gerrit.googlecode.org) which supports SSH.
|
|---|
| | | ### I want to deploy Git:Blit into my own servlet container. Where is the WAR?
|
|---|
| | | At this time there is no WAR build available.

| | | ### Why doesn't Git:Blit support SSH?
|
|---|
| | | Git:Blit could integrate [Apache Mina][mina] to provide SSH access. However, doing so violates Git:Blit's first design principle: [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle).<br/>

| | | SSH supports requires creating, exchanging, and managing SSH keys. While this is doable, its not simple like JGit's SmartHTTP implementation.
|

| | |
|
|---|
| | | You might consider running [Gerrit](http://gerrit.googlecode.org) which does integrate [Apache Mina][mina] and supports SSH or you might consider serving [Git][git] on Linux which would offer real SSH support and also allow use of [many other compelling Git solutions](https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/InterfacesFrontendsAndTools).

| | | ### What types of Search does Git:Blit support?
|
|---|
| | | Git:Blit supports case-insensitive searches of *commit message* (default), *author*, and *committer*.<br/>
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | | Alternatively, you could enable the search type dropdown list in your `gitblit.properties` file.
|

| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### How do I run Git:Blit on port 80 or 443 in Linux?
|
|---|
| | | Tricky. Linux requires root permissions to serve on ports < 1024.<br/>
|

| | | 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) or 8443 (https).
