## Overview
<a href="screenshots.html" title="Screenshots"><img class="overview" src="thumbs/00.png" alt="Screenshots" /></a>

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 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>

### Tools
<ul class='noBullets'>
<li>*Gitblit Federation Client* - a command line tool to clone/pull groups of repositories and optionally users and settings
</ul>

### Java Runtime Requirement

Gitblit requires a Java 6 Runtime Environment (JRE) or a Java 6 Development Kit (JDK).
