# Gitolite README

**Github users: please read the "wiki" link at the top of the page before
submitting issues or pull requests**.

----

If you're reading this on the main gitolite page on github, several
**IMPORTANT CHANGES** have happened to gitolite:

1.  A competely re-written version of gitolite has been pushed to the "master"
    branch, and is now the actively maintained and supported software.  Do NOT
    try to merge this with your old "master" branch!

    The [main page][h-mp] leads to several useful starting points.  The [table
    of contents][h-mt] is a much more meaningfully ordered/structured list of
    links (instead of putting them in alphabetical order of the filename, like
    in g2!)

    If you are an existing (g2) user and wish to migrate, you MUST read
    [this](http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/install.html#migr).

2.  Versions v2.x are on branch "g2".  It will be supported for security
    issues and serious bugs in core functionality, but not for anything less
    critical.  Versions v1.x are completely unsupported now.  (Documentation
    links for this version are [here][o1] and [here][o2]).
