The easiest way to share and manage your Git, Mercurial and Subversion repositories over HTTP.

---

🚀 Overview

SCM-Manager is a lightweight, open-source platform that provides a unified web interface for managing Git, Mercurial (Hg), and Subversion (SVN) repositories. It eliminates the need for separate tools or complex setups by offering out-of-the-box support for these systems, full RESTful API, and a rich plugin ecosystem.

This project solves the problem of fragmented source code management, where teams juggle multiple VCS tools, configuration files, databases, and heavy infrastructure. It's built for developers, small teams, and enterprises who want a simple, self-hosted SCM server with fine-grained permissions, no external dependencies, and easy extensibility—without the bloat of full DevOps platforms like GitLab.

Developed by Cloudogu GmbH, SCM-Manager was created to give users complete control over their source code in their own infrastructure, remaining free and AGPL-licensed while supporting both modern and legacy workflows.
