## 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:

1. *Gitblit GO* - a complete & integrated pure Java stack
    
    This is what you should download if you want to go from zero to Git in less than 5 mins.  
    Gitblit GO is like a mashup of Apache httpd, [Git][git], and Gitweb with simplified configuration and maintenance.  
    All dependencies are downloaded on first execution.
2. *Gitblit WAR* - a traditional WAR distribution
    
    This is what you should download if you want to deploy Gitblit into your own servlet container (e.g. Tomcat, Jetty, etc).  
    All dependencies are bundled.

### Tools

- *Gitblit Manager* - a Java/Swing application for remote administration of a Gitblit server
- *Gitblit Federation Client* - a command line tool to clone/pull groups of repositories and optionally users and settings

### Java Runtime Requirement

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