Overview

Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving Git repositories.
Its designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories.

Gitblit is available in two variations:

• 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.<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>
  

• 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).<br/>
  All dependencies are bundled.
  

Java Runtime Requirement

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