Gitty

Gitty is the backend service and CLI for managing Git repositories over a local REST API.

The frontend now lives in a separate sibling repository: ../gitty-web.

What Lives Here

• CLI entrypoint under cmd/gitty
• Backend packages under internal/
• API and backend docs under docs/ and apidocs/

Quick Start

export GITTY_MASTER_PASSWORD="your-password"
make build
./build/gitty serve

The API listens on http://localhost:8083 by default.

To run the frontend against this backend, start the app from ../gitty-web.

Common Commands

make build
make test
make run-serve

Configuration

export GITTY_MASTER_PASSWORD="your-password"
export GITTY_DATA_PATH=~/.gitty/repositories
export PORT=8083

API

See docs/apis.md for the HTTP API overview.
