Gitly

GitHub/GitLab alternative written in V.

https://gitly.org

• 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 alpha 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

v build.vsh
./gitly

Gitly builds against PostgreSQL by default. Create the default PostgreSQL role/database with:

v run setup_db.vsh

To build a SQLite-backed binary instead, use:

v -d sqlite .
./gitly

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.
