TeamForge 8.0 supports an integration with the Git distributed version control tool powered by Gerrit.
Although Git is the world’s leading distributed version control system, the enterprise
has been slow and tentative in its adoption. Concerned with security breaches, compliance
violations and lack of governance, many organizations have chosen to take a "wait and see"
approach. With TeamForge, Git is ready for the
enterprise. TeamForge lets you realize all the
benefits of Git while ensuring the security, governance and manageability your business
demands. With TeamForge, you can even manage Git and
Subversion together, within each individual project.
Gerrit is an open source code review system designed to work with Git. Gerrit supports various access control mechanisms. The TeamForge Git integration uses Gerrit as a vehicle to bring TeamForge project roles and permissions into Git.
Highlights
- Easy Git repository management from TeamForge using TeamForge’s role based access control.
- Authentication using SSH keys stored in TeamForge and http using Gerrit’s http passwords.
- TeamForge artifact association with Git commits.
- Git source code browsing and code search.
- Single sign-on between TeamForge and the Gerrit web console.
