Self-hosted Git server for Windows IIS environments
Web-based Git repository manager designed for Windows Server and IIS, offering user authentication, team management, and repository access control through a familiar web interface.
Bonobo Git Server is a self-hosted Git repository management solution tailored for organizations running Windows Server and Internet Information Services (IIS). Written in C# and deployed as an ASP.NET application, it integrates naturally into existing Windows environments without requiring Linux-based tooling or containers.
The platform provides a web interface for creating and managing Git repositories, controlling user and team permissions, and configuring anonymous access policies. Administrators can manage global settings including repository storage locations, while users can clone, push, and pull using standard Git clients. Active Directory integration enables centralized authentication, and git hooks receive environment variables for username, team membership, and roles to support custom workflows.
Bonobo Git Server targets IT teams maintaining Windows Server infrastructure who need Git hosting without introducing new operating systems or deployment models. Installation involves extracting files to the IIS wwwroot, setting folder permissions for the IIS user account, and converting the directory to an IIS application. All repository data and configuration reside in the App_Data folder, simplifying backup and migration. The MIT license permits modification and internal deployment without licensing concerns.
When teams consider Bonobo Git Server, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.

Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Enterprise Windows Git hosting
Centralized Git repository management leveraging existing Active Directory credentials and IIS infrastructure without introducing new platforms.
Departmental source control
Self-service repository creation and team-based access control for development groups within larger Windows-based organizations.
Compliance-driven on-premises hosting
Full data sovereignty for source code with repositories stored on internal Windows servers under organizational control.
Git hook-based workflow enforcement
Custom pre-receive or post-receive hooks using authenticated user and team metadata to enforce branch policies or trigger notifications.
Bonobo Git Server requires IIS 7 or higher and .NET Framework 4.6. It runs on Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7, Windows 8 and later, plus Windows Server 2008 R2, 2008 SP2, 2012, and newer versions.
Copy the App_Data folder from the installation directory (default C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Bonobo.Git.Server) to your backup location. If you changed the repository directory in global settings, back up that folder separately.
Yes. Edit a repository and check the Anonymous checkbox to allow anonymous cloning. To permit anonymous push, log in as administrator, go to Global Settings, and enable 'Allow push for anonymous repositories.'
Yes. Bonobo Git Server supports Active Directory authentication, allowing users to log in with their existing Windows credentials and reducing duplicate account management.
If anonymous operations (push/pull) are enabled, HTTP basic authentication cannot reliably identify users, so AUTH_USER, REMOTE_USER, AUTH_USER_TEAMS, AUTH_USER_ROLES, and AUTH_USER_DISPLAYNAME will be empty for all operations.
