Welcome to RhodeCode (RhodiumCode) documentation!
=================================================

``RhodeCode`` (formerly hg-app) is Pylons based repository management and 
serving for mercurial_ and git_. It's similar to github or bitbucket, but 
it's suppose to run as standalone app, it's open source and focuses more on 
restricted access to repositories. There's no default free access to RhodeCode 
You have to create an account in order to use the application. It's powered 
by vcs_ library that we created to handle many various version control systems.

RhodeCode uses `Semantic Versioning <http://semver.org/>`_

RhodeCode demo
--------------

http://hg.python-works.com

The default access is

- username: demo
- password: demo

Source code
-----------

Source code is along with issue tracker is available at
http://bitbucket.org/marcinkuzminski/rhodecode

Also a source codes can be obtained from demo RhodeCode instance
http://hg.python-works.com/rhodecode/summary

Features
--------

- Has it's own middleware to handle mercurial_ and git_ protocol request. 
  Each request can be logged and authenticated. Runs on threads unlikely to 
  hgweb You can make multiple pulls/pushes simultaneous. Supports http/https
  both on git_ and mercurial_
- Full permissions and authentication per project private/read/write/admin. 
  One account for web interface and mercurial_ push/pull/clone.
- Mako templates let's you customize look and feel of application.
- Beautiful diffs, annotations and source codes all colored by pygments.
- Mercurial_ branch graph and yui-flot powered graphs with zooming and statistics
- Admin interface with user/permission management. User activity journal logs
  pulls, pushes, forks,registrations. Possible to disable built in hooks
- Server side forks, it's possible to fork a project and hack it free without
  breaking the main.   
- Full text search on source codes, search on file names. All powered by whoosh
  and build in indexing daemons
  (no external search servers required all in one application)
- Rss / atom feeds, gravatar support, download sources as zip/tarballs  
- Async tasks for speed and performance using celery_ (works without them too)  
- Backup scripts can do backup of whole app and send it over scp to desired 
  location
- Setup project descriptions and info inside built in db for easy, non 
  file-system operations
- Added cache with invalidation on push/repo management for high performance and
  always up to date data. 
- Based on pylons 1.0 / sqlalchemy 0.6 / sqlite
