Glee

Glee is a self-hosted Git service. Some things that separate it from other Git hosts are

  • acts like a filesystem: More than one level of nesting is supported, a la GitLab. Repositories are analogous to files, and "groups" are analogous to directories (in Glee they are just referred to as directories).
  • sane namespacing: We don't create a new namespace for each user, since each Glee instance is meant to act as one filesystem. This is feasible since Glee is only meant to be self-hosted.
  • simple, inheritable permissions: Unlike GitLab, whose group permission inheritance is inconsistent, Glee allows you to explicitly set the permissions of directory or repository as "inherit". The default permissions for a new directory or repository are also "inherit", as they should be.
  • zero lines of Javascript: all dynamic content is server-side generated.

No runtime deps
