One downloadable WAR file gives your team a complete GitHub-style home for its code, with no per-seat bill and no repositories living on someone else's terms. You create public or private repositories and reach them over HTTP, HTTPS, or SSH, with Git LFS handling large binary assets alongside ordinary commits. The repository viewer includes an online file editor, so quick fixes and documentation tweaks happen in the browser without a local clone. Every repository carries its own issue tracker, pull request workflow, and wiki, keeping discussion, review, and project documentation next to the code they describe. Activity timelines and email notifications keep collaborators aware of new issues, comments, and merges as they happen. Administrators manage users and groups directly, connect account management to LDAP, and protect the instance with fine-grained repository visibility. A plug-in system extends the platform, and official plug-ins add gists, emoji, static Pages hosting, and richer notifications, while community plug-ins widen the menu further. Tools that already speak the GitHub API can point at your GitBucket instead, because its web API deliberately mirrors GitHub's. Upgrades stay simple: stop the process, replace the WAR, and restart with the same data directory.
