Client App Menus

SINCE 1.3.0

Gitblit supports defining menus for native platform git client clone urls. By default, Gitblit ships with client definitions for Git, SmartGit/Hg, SourceTree, Tower, and Github for Mac & Windows. Gitblit uses the browser's user-agent to help filter the list of available clients in addition to served transports and user access permissions.

You can define new client integrations and deactivate/remove the default integrations by creating a file $(baseFolder}/clientapps.json.
