Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java Git server for managing, viewing, and serving Git repositories over GIT, HTTP, and SSH transports. It supports multiple authentication providers and can be deployed as a standalone server or within a servlet container.

Use cases

• self-host a git server without installing native git binaries
• browse and view git repositories through a web interface
• serve git repositories over http and ssh with authentication
• manage git repository permissions and access control
• set up a lightweight git server in minutes on any platform with java

When to choose

• you need a pure Java git server that runs anywhere a JRE is available
• you want a self-contained git hosting solution with a built-in web UI
• you need git repository serving over multiple transports (git, http, ssh) with flexible authentication

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured code collaboration platform like pull requests and issue tracking (consider GitLab or Gitea)
• your team prefers a git server written in a non-JVM stack
• you require modern CI/CD integration out of the box
