GitHub/GitLab alternative written in V.
- Light and fast
- Minimal amount of RAM usage (works great on the cheapest $3.5 AWS Lightsail instance)
- Easy to deploy (a single <1 MB binary that includes compiled templates)
- Works without JavaScript
- Detailed language stats for each directory
- "Top files" feature to give an overview of the project
This is beta software
The V web framework and Gitly are at an early stage of development. Lots of features are missing. The biggest missing features that will be implemented soon:
- Multiple users and multiple repos
-
git push - Access via ssh
- Pull requests
Gitly builds against PostgreSQL by default. Create the default PostgreSQL role/database with:
To build a SQLite-backed binary instead, use:
The SQLite database path defaults to gitly.sqlite and can be changed with sqlite.path in
config.json or GITLY_SQLITE_PATH. PostgreSQL settings can be changed with pg in
config.json, GITLY_DB_* environment variables, or the usual PG* environment variables.
If you don't want to install sassc, you can simply run
curl https://gitly.org/css/gitly.css --output static/css/gitly.css
Required dependencies:
- V 0.4.2 93ff40a (https://vlang.io)
- SQLite (Ubuntu/Debian:
libsqlite3-dev) - PostgreSQL client library (Ubuntu/Debian:
libpq-dev, macOS:brew install libpq) - Markdown (
v install markdown) - sassc
Features
-
Track performance in CI (e.g. compare certain binary performance across different commits)
-
Run only certain actions for commits (e.g. you're a fixing a bug that involves only a certain OS, and you don't want to wait for other CI)
-
Prioritize CI runs (e.g. this PR must be handled first, then the rest)
-
"Top files" mode
-
Release files can only be generated by CI/CD, with the version of the tree used always available. This prevents malware binaries.
