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.
