## Why use Gitblit?
<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.
It's designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories.
### 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 downloaded on first execution.
### 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.
### 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 Web Management
Administrators can create and manage all repositories & user accounts from the *Web UI*.
Administrators can create and manage all repositories & user accounts 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 and Mining
- Pluggable user service mechanism for custom authentication, authorization, and user management
- Rich RSS feeds
- JSON-based RPC mechanism
- [Java Client 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 & server settings 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.

**New:** *web.enableRpcManagement = false*
**New:** *web.enableRpcAdministration = false*
- added: Gitblit API RSS/JSON RPC library
- added: Gitblit Manager (Java/Swing Application) for remote administration of a Gitblit server.
- added: per-repository setting to skip size calculation (faster repositories page loading)
- added: per-repository setting to skip summary metrics calculation (faster summary page loading)
