=================================================
 
Welcome to RhodeCode (RhodiumCode) documentation!
 
=================================================
 

	
 
``RhodeCode`` (formerly hg-app) is Pylons framework based Mercurial repository 
 
browser/management tool with build in push/pull server and full text search.
 
It works on http/https, has build in permission/authentication system with 
 
ability to auth via LDAP. It's similar in some parts to github or bitbucket, 
 
but it's suppose to run as standalone hosted application, it's open source 
 
and donation ware and focuses more on providing customized, self administered 
 
interface for Mercurial(and soon GIT) repositories. It's powered by vcs_ 
 
library that me and Lukasz Balcerzak created to handle many various version 
 
control systems.

RhodeCode is similar in some respects to github or bitbucket, 
 
however RhodeCode 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 soon GIT) repositories. 
 
RhodeCode is powered by a vcs_ library that Lukasz Balcerzak and I created to 
 
handle multiple different version control systems.
 

	
 
RhodeCode uses `Semantic Versioning <http://semver.org/>`_
