## What it is
Bonobo Git Server is a free, open-source ASP.NET web application for hosting and managing Git repositories on Windows via IIS. It provides a web UI for user, team, and repository management with optional Active Directory integration.

## Use cases
- self-host a git server on Windows
- manage git repositories with a web UI on IIS
- integrate git repository access with Active Directory
- set up team-based access control for git repos
- browse commit history and file diffs in a browser
- host a private git server behind Windows authentication

## When to choose
- you run Windows Server with IIS and want a simple self-hosted git server
- you need Active Directory or Windows/ADFS authentication for repositories
- you want a graphical interface for managing users, teams, and repositories
- you prefer a free MIT-licensed solution integrated with .NET infrastructure

## When to avoid
- you run Linux or want a cross-platform git server (use Gitea, GitLab, etc.)
- you need modern CI/CD, code review, or issue tracking built in
- you want a containerized or cloud-native deployment
- you need a project under active development - releases are infrequent and the stack is legacy .NET Framework

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-server, auth, authorization, web-framework
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, self-hosted, web-development
