@ -6,8 +6,65 @@ A git web frontend written in Go.
Pronounced however you like; I prefer channeling my beret-wearing
Frenchman, and say "Oui, il est le git!"
But yeah it's pretty legit, on god no cap fr fr.

FEATURES
• Fully customizable templates and stylesheets.
• Cloning over http(s).
• Less archaic HTML.
• Not CGI.
INSTALLING
Clone it, 'go build' it.
CONFIG
Uses yaml for configuration. Looks for a 'config.yaml' in the current
directory by default; pass the '--config' flag to point it elsewhere.
Example config.yaml:
repo:
scanPath: /var/www/git
readme:
- readme
- README
- readme.md
- README.md
mainBranch:
- master
- main
dirs:
templates: ./templates
static: ./static
meta:
title: git good
description: i think it's a skill issue
server:
name: git.icyphox.sh
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 5555
These options are fairly self-explanatory, but of note are:
• repo.scanPath: where all your git repos live (or die). legit doesn't
traverse subdirs yet.
• repo.readme: readme files to look for. Markdown isn't rendered.
• repo.mainBranch: main branch names to look for.
• server.name: used for go-import meta tags and clone URLs.
NOTES
• Run legit behind a TLS terminating proxy like relayd(8) or nginx.
• The default head.html template uses my CDN to fetch fonts -- you may
or may not want this.
• Support or cgit-like filters (for readmes etc.) is planned.
• Pushing over https, while supported, is disabled because auth is a
pain. Use ssh.
• "Private" repos only available over Tailscale is planned.
