Built-in push/pull server

Supports both Mercurial and Git wire protocols, accessible over HTTPS and SSH. A powerful access management system lets you decide who has access to the repository, and what operations they’re entitled to do. All requests are authenticated and logged, giving the administrator an ability to review users’ activity.

Easy to integrate

Kallithea supports LDAP, making it easy to use your existing authentication system. You can integrate your instance with an issue tracker of your choice using the JSON-RPC API and the extensions interface.

Why Kallithea?

Kallithea, or Καλλιθέα, is the name of a locality on the island of Rhodes, in Greece, which itself means ‘the best view’. Our Kallithea project helps developers get the best views of their project and its contributions so they can better collaborate together. Additionally, see this Conservancy blog post about why Kallithea began.
