# Git Server Git server is a centralized platform for hosting Git repositories, facilitating version control and collaboration in software development projects. The IT-Conductor Git Adapter enables seamless integration and synchronization across diverse Git servers, including GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Azure DevOps, and self-hosted options. Software development teams use various Git platforms depending on their project requirements and preferences. ### **Configure Git Server in IT-Conductor** To configure a git server in IT-Conductor, follow the instructions below. #### **Add New Git Server** 1. Visit [service.itconductor.com](https://service.itconductor.com/) and enter your login credentials. 2. Navigate to **Dashboards → Administrator** to access the **Administrator's Dashboard**. 3. Locate the **Git Servers** actions panel and click the title to access the complete list.
