GitBucket
Git web platform with GitHub API compatibility and plugins
GitBucket is a Git web platform powered by Scala that provides a GitHub-like experience for hosting and collaborating on Git repositories. It focuses on simple installation, extensibility via plugins, and compatibility with the GitHub API.
Key Features
- Public and private Git repositories with HTTP/HTTPS and SSH access
- Repository browser with online file viewer and editor
- Issues, pull requests, and repository wikis
- Git LFS support for large files
- Activity timeline and email notifications
- Account and group management, including LDAP integration
- Plugin system for adding functionality and integrations
- GitHub API compatibility for tooling and automation
Use Cases
- Run an internal Git server for teams that need a lightweight GitHub alternative
- Host code for small organizations with built-in issues, PRs, and wikis
- Provide a GitHub-compatible API endpoint for CI/CD tools and scripts
Limitations and Considerations
- Requires Java 17 and is commonly deployed as a WAR file on a servlet container
- Database upgrades may require manual migration steps in certain configurations (for example, H2 major-version changes)
GitBucket is well-suited for users who want a straightforward Git hosting platform with familiar collaboration features and a strong plugin ecosystem. Its emphasis on easy setup and GitHub API compatibility makes it practical for both new installations and existing toolchains.
