Fisheye: Is it a git repository or a viewer to a git repository

Build Monkey

I want to double check that I understand Fisheye. Is it a web-based view to a git repository or is it a git repository as well? We currently have a git repository and have no need to migrate it, but we do have a need to view the contents of our repository in web based format. Is this ok?

FishEye is a revision-control browser and search engine not a repository by itself. You can use it to view the contents of your existing git repository.

If you want to browse your git repository but also manage it, you could try Stash, the new Atlassian product which focuses on Git.

Thanks Julien. I wasn't aware of another tool that was git-specific. Is Stash feature parity with Fisheye?

Julien Hoarau

There is no full feature parity between Stash and Fisheye. For example, Fisheye is more integrated with Crucible (code review tool by Atlassian). In my opinion, Stash aims to be like Github Enterprise.

From Stash FAQ:

Q: Why did you create a new product for Git repository management? Couldn't you build this into FishEye?

A: We tried to build Git repository management into FishEye, and thought we could make it work. In FishEye 2.7 we added basic capabilities to host and manage Git repositories within FishEye. However, as we were planning future releases, we realized that the architecture of FishEye, built to index, browse and search across various SCMs, was not adequate for a DVCS repository management tool.

Therefore we have made the decision to build a new product, with a clear focus: hosting and managing Git repositories. Instead of a "Jack of all trades", we will have two products that are focused on 2 very different tasks:

Stash – Host, manage and collaborate on Git repositories
FishEye – Track, search and browse Subversion, Perforce, Git, Mercurial and CVS repositories in one place.

Thank you. Currently our evaluation of Fisheye is having problems connecting to our existing repositories that reside on another git server. Is this a limitation of Fisheye?
