About
-----

``RhodeCode`` is a fast and powerful management tool for Mercurial_ and GIT_

pull requests and powerful code-review system. It works on http/https and
has a few unique features like:

 - plugable architecture
 - advanced permission system with IP restrictions
 - rich set of authentication plugins including LDAP,
   ActiveDirectory, Atlassian Crowd, Http-Headers, Pam, Token-Auth.
 - live code-review chat
 - full web based file editing
 - unified multi vcs support
 - snippets (gist) system
 - integration with all 3rd party issue trackers

RhodeCode also provides rich API, and multiple event hooks so it's easy
integrable with existing external systems.

RhodeCode is similar in some respects to gitlab_, github_ or bitbucket_,
however RhodeCode can be run as standalone hosted application on your own server.
RhodeCode can be installed on \*nix or Windows systems.
