|
| | | Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving [Git][git] repositories.<br/>
|
| | | Its designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories.
|
| | | Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving [Git][git] repositories. |
| | | It's designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories.
|
| | |
|
| | | Gitblit is available in two variations:
|
| | | <ul class='noBullets'>
|
| | | <li>*Gitblit GO* - a complete & integrated pure Java stack<p>
|
| | | This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins.<br/>
|
| | | Gitblit GO is like a mashup of Apache httpd, [Git][git], and Gitweb with simplified configuration and maintenance.<br/>
|
| | | All dependencies are downloaded on first execution.<p>
|
| | | <li>*Gitblit WAR* - a traditional WAR distribution<p>
|
| | | This is what you should download if you want to deploy Gitblit into your own servlet container (e.g. Tomcat, Jetty, etc).<br/>
|
| | | All dependencies are bundled.
|
| | | </ul>
|
| | | ### GO: Single-Stack Solution
|
| | |
|
| | | ### Tools
|
| | | <ul class='noBullets'>
|
| | | <li>*Gitblit Federation Client* - a command line tool to clone/pull groups of repositories and optionally users and settings
|
| | | </ul>
|
| | | *Gitblit GO* is an integrated, single-stack solution based on Jetty.
|
| | | |
| | | You do not need Apache httpd, Perl, Git, or Gitweb. Should you want to use some or all of those, you still can; Gitblit plays nice with the other kids on the block.
|
| | |
|
| | | This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins.
|
| | | |
| | | All dependencies are downloaded on first execution.
|
| | |
|
| | | ### WAR: For Your Servlet Container
|
| | | *Gitblit WAR* is what you should download if you already have a servlet container available that you wish to use. |
| | | Jetty 6/7/8 and Tomcat 6/7 are known to work. Generally, any Servlet 2.5 or Servlet 3.0 container should work.
|
| | | |
| | | All dependencies are bundled.
|
| | |
|
| | | ### You decide how to use Gitblit
|
| | |
|
| | | Gitblit can be used as a dumb repository viewer with no administrative controls or user accounts. |
| | | Gitblit can be used as a complete Git stack for cloning, pushing, and repository access control. |
| | | Gitblit can be used without any other Git tooling (including actual Git) or it can cooperate with your established tools.
|
| | |
|
| | | ### Easy Web Management
|
| | |
|
| | | Administrators can create and manage all repositories & user accounts from the *Web UI*. |
| | | Administrators can create and manage all repositories & user accounts from the *JSON RPC interface* using the [Gitblit Manager](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%MANAGER%) or your own custom tooling. |
| | |
|
| | | ### Integration and Mining
|
| | |
|
| | | - Pluggable user service mechanism for custom authentication, authorization, and user management
|
| | | - Rich RSS feeds
|
| | | - JSON-based RPC mechanism
|
| | | - [Java Client API library](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%API%) for custom integration
|
| | |
|
| | | ### Backup Strategy
|
| | |
|
| | | Gitblit includes a backup mechanism (*federation*) which can be used to backup repositories and, optionally, user accounts & server settings from your Gitblit instance to another Gitblit instance or to a [Gitblit Federation Client](http://code.google.com/p/gitblit/downloads/detail?name=%FEDCLIENT%). Similarly, you can use the federation mechanism to aggregate individual workspace Gitblit instances to a common, centralized server.
