How to run from the source tree

for Testers

If you want to test GitBucket, input following command at the root directory of the source tree.

C:\gitbucket> sbt ~container:start

Then access to http://localhost:8080/ by your browser. The default administrator account is root and password is root.

for Developers

If you want to modify source code and confirm it, you can run GitBucket in auto reloading mode as following:

C:\gitbucket> sbt
...
> container:start
...
> ~ ;copy-resources;aux-compile

Build war file

To build war file, run the following command:

C:\gitbucket> sbt package

gitbucket_2.11-x.x.x.war is generated into target/scala-2.11.

To build executable war file, run Ant at the top of the source tree. It generates executable gitbucket.war into target/scala-2.11. We release this war file as release artifact. Please note the current build.xml works on Windows only. Replace sbt.bat with sbt.sh in build.xml if you want to run it on Linux.
