Going further, can we manage Git repositories through java code using JGit as well? What I meant from managing is creating users and assigning permissions, etc.
Hi Isuru, I think you might be confusing Git (the software) with Git-hosting (such as GitHub, or Gerrit-based services). Git itself doesn't have any real concept of users or permissions, but usually sits on top of systems which do. I can see you're a GitHub user, so perhaps you'd like to use GitHub's Java API:...which is based on GitHub's HTTP-based API, documented here:This API allows you to do pretty much everything you might want to do, including adding and removing team members from GitHub Orgs, though I think actually creating new user account still requires the user to sign-up on the GitHub site itself.other Open Source options providing such services are Gerrit [1] and Gitblit [2]
