Features
The current version of GitBucket provides many features such as:
- Public / Private Git repositories (with http/https and ssh access)
- GitLFS support
- Repository viewer including an online file editor
- Issues, Pull Requests and Wiki for repositories
- Activity timeline and email notifications
- Account and group management with LDAP integration

If you want to try the development version of GitBucket, see the Developer's Guide.
Installation
GitBucket requires Java8. You have to install it, if it is not already installed.
- Download the latest gitbucket.war from the releases page and run it by
java -jar gitbucket.war
. - Go to
http://[hostname]:8080/
and log in with ID: root / Pass: root.
You can specify following options:
--port=[NUMBER]
--prefix=[CONTEXTPATH]
--host=[HOSTNAME]
--gitbucket.home=[DATA_DIR]
--temp_dir=[TEMP_DIR]
--max_file_size=[MAX_FILE_SIZE]
TEMP_DIR
is used as the temporary directory for the jetty application context. This is the directory into which the gitbucket.war
file is unpacked, the source files are compiled, etc. If given this parameter must match the path of an existing directory or the application will quit reporting an error; if not given the path used will be a tmp
directory inside the gitbucket home.
MAX_FILE_SIZE
is the max file size for upload files.
You can also deploy gitbucket.war
to a servlet container which supports Servlet 3.0 (like Jetty, Tomcat, JBoss, etc)
For more information about installation on Mac or Windows Server (with IIS), or configuration of Apache or Nginx and also integration with other tools or services such as Jenkins or Slack, see Wiki.
To upgrade GitBucket, replace gitbucket.war
with the new version, after stopping GitBucket. All GitBucket data is stored in HOME/.gitbucket
by default. So if you want to back up GitBucket's data, copy this directory to the backup location.
Plugins
GitBucket has a plug-in system that allows extra functionality. Officially the following plug-ins are provided:
You can find more plugins made by the community at GitBucket community plugins.
Support
- If you have any questions about GitBucket, see Wiki and check issues whether there is a same question or request in the past.

- The highest priority of GitBucket is the ease of installation and API compatibility with GitHub, so your feature request might be rejected if they go against those principles.
