+
+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.
+
+You can browse a live demo [here](https://demo-gitblit.rhcloud.com) hosted on [RedHat's OpenShift][rhcloud] cloud service.
+
+### GO: Single-Stack Solution
+
+*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 bundled.
+
+### 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.
+
+### Express: For the Cloud
+*Gitblit Express* is a prepared distribution for [RedHat's OpenShift][rhcloud] cloud service.
+
+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 Remote Management
+
+Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams from the *Web UI*.  
+Administrators can create and manage all repositories, user accounts, and teams 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 with Your Infrastructure
+
+- Groovy push hook scripts
+- Pluggable user service mechanism
+    - LDAP authentication with optional LDAP-controlled Team memberships
+    - Custom authentication, authorization, and user management
+- Rich RSS feeds
+- JSON-based RPC mechanism
+- [Java Client RSS/JSON 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, team definitions, server settings, & Groovy push hook scripts 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.
+
+### Java Runtime Requirement
+
+Gitblit requires a Java 6 Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java 6 Development Kit (JDK).
