## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, auth, web-framework
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, self-hosted
- platform: jvm, cross-platform, self-hosted
- tags: git-server, git-repository-management, java, repository-viewer, ssh, git-http, docker
