========= Kallithea ========= About ----- ``Kallithea`` is a fast and powerful management tool for Mercurial_ and GIT_ with a built in push/pull server, full text search and code-review. It works on http/https and has a built in permission/authentication system with the ability to authenticate via LDAP or ActiveDirectory. Kallithea also provides simple API so it's easy integrable with existing external systems. Kallithea is similar in some respects to github_ or bitbucket_, however Kallithea can be run as standalone hosted application on your own server. It is open source and donation ware and focuses more on providing a customized, self administered interface for Mercurial_ and GIT_ repositories. Kallithea works on \*nix systems and Windows it is powered by a vcs_ library that Lukasz Balcerzak and Marcin Kuzminski created to handle multiple different version control systems. Kallithea uses `PEP386 versioning <http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0386/>`_ Installation ------------ Stable releases of Kallithea are best installed via:: easy_install kallithea Or:: pip install kallithea Detailed instructions and links may be found on the Installation page.

They come with permission delegation features, so you can delegate groups management. - Users can fork other users repos, and compare them at any time. - Built in Gist functionality for sharing code snippets. - Integrates easily with other systems, with custom created mappers you can connect it to almost any issue tracker, and with an JSON-RPC API you can make much more - Build in commit-api let's you add, edit and commit files right from Kallithea web interface using simple editor or upload binary files using simple form. - Powerfull pull-request driven review system with inline commenting, changeset statuses, and notification system. - Importing and syncing repositories from remote locations for GIT_, Mercurial_ and SVN. - Mako templates let's you customize the look and feel of the application. - Beautiful diffs, annotations and source code browsing all colored by pygments. Raw diffs are made in git-diff format for both VCS systems, including GIT_ binary-patches - Mercurial_ and Git_ DAG graphs and yui-flot powered graphs with zooming and statistics to track activity for repositories - Admin interface with user/permission management. Admin activity journal, logs pulls, pushes, forks, registrations and other actions made by all users. - Server side forks. It is possible to fork a project and modify it freely without breaking the main repository. - rst and markdown README support for repositories. - Full text search powered by Whoosh on the source files, commit messages, and file names. Build in indexing daemons, with optional incremental index build (no external search servers required all in one application) - Setup project descriptions/tags and info inside built in db for easy, non file-system operations. - Intelligent cache with invalidation after push or project change, provides high performance and always up to date data. - RSS / Atom feeds, gravatar support, downloadable sources as zip/tar/gz - Optional async tasks for speed and performance using celery_ - Backup scripts can do backup of whole app and send it over scp to desired location - Based on pylons / sqlalchemy / sqlite / whoosh / vcs Incoming / Plans ---------------- - Finer granular permissions per branch, or subrepo - Web based merges for pull requests - Tracking history for each lines in files - Simple issue tracker - SSH based authentication with server side key management - Commit based built in wiki system - More statistics and graph (global annotation + some more statistics) - Other advancements as development continues (or you can of course make additions and or requests) License ------- ``Kallithea`` is released under the GPLv3 license.
