| | | 3. The repository is clone-restricted and your password changed.
|

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

| | | ### Why can't I access Gitblit from another machine?

| | | ### 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 on port 80 or 443 in Linux?
|
|---|
| | | ### 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).

| | | 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...
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | - MercurialEclipse [shells to Python and captures System.in](http://mercurial.808500.n3.nabble.com/Hg4J-Mercurial-pure-Java-library-tp2693090p2694555.html)<br/>
|
|---|
| | | - MercurialEclipse [shells to Python, writes to System.out, and captures System.in](http://mercurial.808500.n3.nabble.com/Hg4J-Mercurial-pure-Java-library-tp2693090p2694555.html)<br/>
|
|---|
| | | Parsing command-line output is fragile and suboptimal.<br/>Unfortunately this is necessary because Mercurial is an application, not a library.
|
|---|
| | | - Mercurial seems to [frown](http://mercurial.808500.n3.nabble.com/Hg4J-Mercurial-pure-Java-library-tp2693090p2695051.html) on the fledgling [Hg4j][hg4j] (pure Java Mercurial) project.
|
|---|
| | | - Mercurial HTTP/HTTPS needs to run as CGI through Apache/IIS/etc, as mod_python through Apache, or served with a built-in http server.<br/>
|
|---|
| | | This requires setup and maintenance of multiple, mixed 3rd party components.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | | Everything you need for Gitblit is either in the zip distribution file or automatically downloaded on execution.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Can I run Gitblit in conjunction with my existing Git tooling?
|
|---|
| | | Yes. You can configure Gitblit to only be a repository viewer.
|
|---|
| | | Yes.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Do I need a JDK or can I use a JRE?
|
|---|
| | | Gitblit will run just fine with a JRE. Gitblit can optionally use `keytool` from the JDK to generate self-signed certificates, but normally Gitblit uses [BouncyCastle][bouncycastle] for that need.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### I want to deploy Gitblit into my own servlet container. Where is the WAR?
|
|---|
| | | At this time there is no WAR build available.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### Does Gitblit use a database to store its data?
|
|---|
| | | No. Gitblit 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`.
|
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | 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.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### 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/>
|
|---|
| | | SSH support requires creating, exchanging, and managing SSH keys. While this is possible, JGit's SmartHTTP implementation is a simpler and universal transport mechanism.

| | | SSH support requires creating, exchanging, and managing SSH keys (arguably not more complicated than managing users). While this is possible, JGit's SmartHTTP implementation is a simpler and universal transport mechanism.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | 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).

|

| | |
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | Alternatively, you could enable the search type dropdown list in your `gitblit.properties` file.
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | ### I see a disabled "blame" link. How do I enable it? |
|---|
| | | Currently blame is not implemented. Those links are placeholders to remind me where Gitweb offers blame.
|
|---|
| | | ### Can Gitblit be translated?
|
|---|
| | |
|
|---|
| | | Yes. Most messages are localized to a standard Java properties file.
