-### Can I restrict access to paths within a repository?

-No.  Access restrictions apply to the repository as a whole.

+### Can I restrict access to branches or paths within a repository?

+No, not out-of-the-box.  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).

+Should you require more fine-grained access controls you might consider writing a Groovy *prereceive* script to block updating branch refs based on some permissions file.  I would be interested in a generic, re-usable script to include with Gitblit, should someone want to implement it.

+Alternatively, you could use [gitolite](https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite) and SSH for your repository access.

 

 ### Can I authenticate users against XYZ?

-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.

+Yes.  The user service is pluggable.  You may write your own complete user service by implementing the *com.gitblit.IUserService* interface.  Or you may subclass *com.gitblit.GitblitUserService* and override just the authentication. 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/>

 ## Design Principles

 1. [Keep It Simple, Stupid](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle)

 2. Offer useful features for serving Git repositories.  If feature is complex, refer to #1.

-3. All dependencies must be retrievable from a publicly accessible [Maven](http://maven.apache.org) repository.<br/>This is to ensure authenticity of dependencies, to keep the Gitblit GO distribution svelte, and to automate the setup of developer environments.

 ### TODO (medium priority)

 

 * Gitblit: editable settings page in GO/WAR

-* Gitblit: tag repositories and offer views of repositories by tag (issue 27)

 * Gitblit: investigate create-repository-on-push.

     * Maybe a new user role to allow this?

     * Maybe a server setting to disable this completely?
