2. You may have to manually extract the WAR (zip file) to a folder within your webapps folder.
3. By default, the Gitblit webapp is configured through `WEB-INF/data/gitblit.properties`.
Open `WEB-INF/data/gitblit.properties` in your favorite text editor and make sure to review and set:
- - <context-parameter> *git.packedGitLimit* (set larger than the size of your largest repository)
- - <context-parameter> *git.streamFileThreshold* (set larger than the size of your largest committed file)

After you configure baseFolder and restart your container, Gitblit will copy the contents of the `WEB-INF/data` folder to your specified *baseFolder* **IF** the file `${baseFolder}/gitblit.properties` does not already exist. This allows you to get going with minimal fuss.

+You can specify `GITBLIT_HOME` either as an environment variable or as a `-DGITBLIT_HOME` JVM system property.

+#### Specifying baseFolder via web.xml
You may specify an external location for your data by directly editing `WEB-INF/web.xml` and manipulating the *baseFolder* env-entry. Your servlet container may be smart enough to recognize the change and to restart Gitblit.

+#### Specifying baseFolder via JNDI
This is a better way to configure your *baseFolder* because it survives WAR redeploys or deployments of new versions. These directions assume you are running Tomcat as your container, other containers may have different ways to specify global JNDI environment entries.
