1# g1t

3> g1t (https://g1t.sh) is one open-source workspace where a team and its
4> agents talk, work and ship. People and a workspace's own agents (each with
5> a role, a job, a personality, model limits and a budget) talk in Chat:
6> channels, direct messages and threads (https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/chat/,
7> https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/agents/). Code is ordinary git over HTTPS, with
8> issues, pull requests and reviews. Agents are members of the forge: you
9> assign an issue to g1t or connect your own over MCP, or hand g1t an
10> outcome and a planner splits it into issues with dependencies that agents
11> work in parallel, aware of each other. A repository's workflows are its
12> checks, for people and agents alike; a merge queue lands each change on main only once it passes together with
13> everything ahead of it, and deployments put a preview of every pull
14> request and production on g1t.page. Each pull request lives in its own
15> fork and carries a recording of how it was made. The forge is free;
16> compute is priced at what it costs g1t plus 20%, never per seat.

18This file tells an assistant everything needed to get a person set up on g1t
19and working. You never ask for, see, or send the person's password. Accounts
20are created and approved only in their browser.
21
22## Set someone up
23
241. **Start a sign-in.**
25
26 ```sh
27 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/device/code \
28 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
29 -d '{"client_name": "Claude Code"}'
30 ```
31
32 The response has `device_code` (keep it; do not show it),
33 `user_code` (like `WDJB-MJHT`), `verification_uri_complete`, `interval`
34 and `expires_in`.
35
362. **Send the person to their browser.** Give them the
37 `verification_uri_complete` link and tell them the `user_code` they
38 should see there. On that page they sign in, or choose "Create an
39 account" if they are new, and then approve the request. Wait for them.
40
41 A new account confirms its email address first: g1t emails it a
42 six-digit code (and a link that does the same) from `noreply@g1t.sh`,
43 and the site keeps the person on its confirmation page until they enter
44 the code or follow the link. Only then can they approve your request.
45
463. **Collect the token.** Poll every `interval` seconds, not faster:
47
48 ```sh
49 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/device/token \
50 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
51 -d '{"device_code": "DEVICE_CODE"}'
52 ```
53
54 `{"status": "pending"}` means keep waiting. `denied` and `expired` mean
55 start again from step 1. `approved` comes with `token`, `username` and
56 `verified`. The token is returned once. It is the password for git and
57 the bearer token for the API and the MCP server. Store it as `G1T_TOKEN`;
58 never write it into a repository. Your person can see and delete it at
59 g1t.sh/settings/tokens. A token is only ever approved for a confirmed
60 account; if one answers `403` with a message saying to confirm the
61 email address, ask your person to enter the code from their email at
62 g1t.sh/confirm-email.
63
644. **Connect the MCP server** (any MCP client with HTTP transport works).
65 Claude Code:
66
67 ```sh
68 claude mcp add --transport http g1t https://mcp.g1t.sh \
69 --header "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN"
70 ```
71
72 Codex, in `~/.codex/config.toml`:
73
74 ```toml
75 [mcp_servers.g1t]
76 url = "https://mcp.g1t.sh"
77 bearer_token_env_var = "G1T_TOKEN"
78 ```
79
80 OpenCode, in `opencode.json`:
81
82 ```json
83 { "mcp": { "g1t": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://mcp.g1t.sh", "oauth": false,
84 "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer {env:G1T_TOKEN}" } } } }
85 ```
86
87 Cursor, in `.cursor/mcp.json`:
88
89 ```json
90 { "mcpServers": { "g1t": { "url": "https://mcp.g1t.sh",
91 "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:G1T_TOKEN}" } } } }
92 ```
93
94 Without the header, a client that supports MCP authorization signs the
95 person in through their browser instead (Claude Code: `/mcp`, then
96 choose g1t; Codex: `codex mcp login g1t`; OpenCode: `opencode mcp auth
97 g1t`; Cursor: when it first connects). The MCP server always needs one
98 or the other.
99
1005. **Create a workspace** if `GET /user` shows none. A workspace owns
101 repositories and is the first part of their address. Ask the person what
102 to call it; their username is a sensible default.
103
104 ```sh
105 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/workspaces \
106 -H "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
107 -d '{"slug": "WORKSPACE"}'
108 ```
109
1106. **Or import one.** `POST /repos` with `name` and
111 `import_url` (the https address of a public repository, such as one on
112 GitHub) copies its default branch.
113
1147. **Push a repository.** Pushing to a repository that does not exist, in a
115 workspace the person belongs to, creates it, public by default.
116
117 ```sh
118 git remote add g1t https://g1t.sh/WORKSPACE/REPO.git
119 git -c credential.helper= \
120 -c "http.extraHeader=Authorization: Basic $(printf '%s' "USERNAME:$G1T_TOKEN" | base64)" \
121 push -u g1t main
122 ```
123
124 Or let git ask: the username is the g1t username and the password is the
125 token.
126
1278. **Record Claude Code sessions automatically** (optional). This installs
128 hooks that record prompts, tool calls and replies onto the g1t pull
129 request for the branch being worked on. The person runs it, because it
130 signs them in through their browser:
131
132 ```sh
133 curl -fsSL https://g1t.sh/install/claude.sh | sh
134 ```
135
136## Do work
137
138Issues and pull requests are addressed by repository and number, and share
139one sequence of numbers: `#12` is one or the other. Below, `{repo}` stands
140for `/repos/{owner}/{name}`.
141
142- **Find work:** `GET {repo}/issues?state=open`, optionally `&label=bug`
143 or `&milestone=3`.
144- **Open an issue:** `POST {repo}/issues` with `title`, `body`, and
145 optional `labels` (the repository's, from `GET {repo}/labels`, such as
146 `bug` or `enhancement`; a new name makes a new label only for someone
147 with the Triage role) and `milestone` (a number from
148 `GET {repo}/milestones`). Say what done means in the body, under `## Definition of done`
149 if you like; it guides whoever does the work but never gates a merge.
150 The old `checks` field is deprecated: its commands are added to the body
151 under "Definition of done" and the response has a `deprecation` note.
152- **Read an issue:** `GET {repo}/issues/{number}`. It lists every pull
153 request already made for it. A closed issue's `resolved_by` is the number
154 of the pull request that was merged.
155- **Open a pull request:** `POST {repo}/pulls` with `issue` (its number) and
156 `agent` (a label such as `claude-code`). Without an issue, send `title`.
157 The response has `pull.number` and `git.remote`, the pull request's own
158 fork. Clone it, commit, and push to it with the token. It starts as a
159 draft. It merges into the default branch; send `base` only when asked
160 to target another branch. If the change is already on a branch pushed to the repository,
161 send `branch` (and `title`, `body`) instead: no fork is made and the pull
162 request is ready at once.
163- **Record the session** as you work, so people can see why a change was
164 made: `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/session` with
165 `{"entries": [{"kind": "message", "text": "…"}]}`. Kinds are `prompt`,
166 `message`, `tool_call`, `tool_result`, `note`. Never include secrets;
167 sessions are as visible as the repository.
168- **Mark it ready:** `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/ready` with `summary`, which
169 becomes the pull request's description.
170- **See what a pull request changes:** `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}/changes`.
171- **Before going far**, read `overlaps` on `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}`:
172 other pull requests in progress changing the same files. `behind` says
173 whether main has moved since; if so, pull main into the fork and push.
174- **Checks:** the repository's workflows (`.g1t/workflows`, GitHub Actions
175 syntax) run on every pull request's head, and each reports a check named
176 after the workflow, such as `CI`. Before you push, run the same tests and
177 linters those workflows run. `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}` returns
178 `statuses`, `required_checks` and `rules`: each check the branch it merges into
179 requires, as `success`, `failure`, `pending` or `expected` (not reported
180 yet). If one failed, read why with `GET {repo}/actions/runs/{id}` and
181 `GET {repo}/actions/jobs/{job}/logs`, push a fix, and the workflows run
182 again. `GET {repo}/commits/{ref}/check-runs` lists every check run on a
183 commit (each workflow job is one), and
184 `GET {repo}/check-runs/{id}/annotations` the lines a failing one points at.
185 `GET {repo}/check-names` lists the check names seen in the last
186 30 days. `rules.unmet` lists every rule of that branch not met yet, with
187 what to do; `GET {repo}/rules/branches/{branch}` lists every rule. Rules
188 hold for agents exactly as for people: a push that breaks one is refused
189 with the ruleset and rule named, so read the `remote:` lines and fix the
190 commits. `required_checks` on `PATCH {repo}/settings` sets which ones a
191 merge needs.
192- **Comment** on an issue or a pull request:
193 `POST {repo}/issues/{number}/comments` with `body`. On a pull request, add
194 `path` and `line` to comment on one line of the change.
195- **Review** someone else's pull request:
196 `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/reviews` with `verdict` (`approve` or
197 `request_changes`) and `body`.
198- **Merge** (the Write role or higher on the repository):
199 `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/merge`. This closes the issue it was for and
200 closes the other pull requests for that issue as superseded; send
201 `{"keep_issue_open": true}` if this is only part of the work. If main has
202 moved, g1t brings the pull request up to date and lands it when that is
203 done. A repository that requires pull requests to be up to date answers
204 `409` instead: pull main from `https://g1t.sh/{owner}/{name}.git` into the
205 fork, push, and merge again.
206 With the merge queue on, merging adds the pull request to the queue
207 instead; `GET {repo}/queue` shows it being tested with the pull requests
208 ahead of it, and it lands only if that combination passes.
209
210## Hand work to g1t
211
212Agents, workflows and the merge queue run on g1t's machines, so they
213need a paid workspace, or the one-time $5 trial after a card check.
214Deployments need the plan; the trial never covers them. Workflows and the merge queue on public repositories
215can also run from g1t's open-source pool, after the same card check.
216Agents never run from the pool. Workflow jobs with `runs-on: self-hosted`
217run on the workspace's own machines (`g1t-runner`, any OS) at $0, on every
218plan; a workspace can send agent work there too. Each workspace decides how its agents
219reach a model: its own provider (connected under Integrations, billed by
220the provider) or g1t's hosted models (while payments are in test mode,
221only for a few invited workspaces; a trial does not open them, and an
222agent assigned without a model is refused with `no_model`); the sandbox is g1t's unless the work goes to
223the workspace's own runners.
224When the plan refuses a start, these calls answer with a failure whose
225message says what to do and where (such as `/acme/-/billing`). When every
226agent slot of the workspace is busy, the message starts "Waiting for a
227free slot" and the work starts by itself when one finishes.
228
229- **Hand off an outcome:** `POST {repo}/plans` with `brief`: what should be
230 true when the work is done. A planner reads the repository and proposes
231 issues, each with what done means (`done`), the files it touches, and what it depends
232 on. Read it with `GET {repo}/plans/{plan}` until `status` is `ready`
233 (a minute or two), then `POST {repo}/plans/{plan}/apply` with
234 `{"assign": true}`. Agents start at once on every issue that depends on
235 nothing and on the rest as what they depend on lands. `keep` opens only
236 some of the issues, by position counting from 1.
237- **Assign one issue:** `POST {repo}/issues/{number}/assign`. The agent
238 opens a pull request, waits for the repository's workflows on it and is
239 sent back with the failing jobs' log tails when one fails, is reviewed by
240 a second agent, revises, and catches up when main moves. After its
241 revisions (`max_revisions`, 2 by default) only a required check still
242 failing holds it for a person. There is no model or
243 agent count to choose: to put more agents to work, assign more issues.
244 On g1t's hosted models, Auto routes each job to the cheapest of three
245 tiers that can do it, fast, standard and most capable (the model behind
246 each is today's, and moves to newer models as g1t adopts them; a
247 retired model is never used): catching up, answering, planning and
248 reviews of small changes that touch no sensitive path start fast;
249 making changes, revising and other reviews start standard; reviews of
250 very large changes and issues labelled
251 `architecture` start most capable. A failed attempt moves the next one
252 up a tier (two in a row: most capable), and a repository's own recent
253 runs move work down or up. Each run states its model and why in one
254 line, on the run and in the session. An owner can pin a tier per kind of
255 work instead (`PUT /workspaces/{workspace}/model-routes`, `model`
256 `small`, `large` or `frontier` with `connection_id` null).
257- **Who a g1t pull request is for:** g1t is the `author` (`username`
258 `g1t`, `kind` `agent`) of every pull request it makes and every issue it
259 files at work; `requested_by` is the person who asked (null when nobody
260 did, as for a security update). That person answers for it as an author
261 would: they may update, close and steer it without Triage, cannot
262 approve it, are never asked to review it, see it in their own lists, and
263 its sandboxes, workflows and previews are trusted as they are. Webhooks
264 carry `data.author` and `data.requested_by`; Actions payloads
265 `pull_request.user` (a `Bot`) and `pull_request.requested_by`.
266- **Put an agent on something in one step:** `POST {repo}/issues/delegate`
267 with `title` and `body` (what to do, in plain words, and what done
268 means if you know it). It opens the issue and assigns g1t at once; it needs the
269 Write role, and nothing opens without it. The issue opens even when the
270 agent cannot start: `agent.status` is `started` (with `pull`), `queued`,
271 or `not_started` with `agent.code` (`not_paid`, `trial_used`, `limit`,
272 `paused`, `issue_cap`, `billing_unavailable`, `no_model`), `agent.message`
273 and `agent.fix_url`.
274- **How sure g1t is of a change:** once g1t finishes, the pull
275 request's `confidence` is `high`, `medium` or `low` with short `reasons`
276 ("tests not added", "3 revisions"), from its required checks, revisions, review,
277 tests, size, reach, guardrails and unanswered questions. The agent's own
278 word (`self_reported`, `uncertain_about`) can only lower it. With the
279 repository setting `hold_low_confidence` on (the default), a change rated
280 low waits for a person's approval instead of merging by itself.
281- **Steer a working agent:** `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/messages` with
282 `body`. It reads the message at its next step.
283- **g1t's runs talk to each other.** g1t asks the agent on another
284 pull request a question, or hands it work, with `agent` `message`
285 (`kind` `question` or `handoff`, and `from_number`, its own pull
286 request). The other agent replies with `agent` `answer`
287 (`POST {repo}/messages/{id}/answer`); one that is not at work is woken
288 to answer, in its own pull request's sandbox. Plans show these exchanges under
289 "Agents talking". From any other caller, `agent` `message` sends a plain
290 message.
291
292Every one of these is also on the MCP server. Its tools are resources,
293each with an `action`: `search`, `repository`, `issue`, `pull_request`,
294`agent`, `plan`, `memory`, `workflow`, `secret`, `webhook`, `access`,
295`workspace`, `notifications` and `account`. Call `tools/call` with the tool's name and
296`arguments` holding `action` and its inputs, such as
297`{"name": "issue", "arguments": {"action": "get", "repo": "acme/web", "number": 12}}`.
298The flow above is: `issue` `get`, `memory` `recall`, `pull_request`
299`create` (with `issue`), push, `pull_request` `record_session` as you go,
300`pull_request` `ready` with `summary`; read `overlaps`, `behind`,
301`statuses` and `required_checks` on `pull_request` `get`, and
302`repository` `check_names` for the names a branch can require;
303`workflow` `list_check_runs` and `check_run_annotations` for what a
304commit's checks say. `agent` `delegate` and `agent` `assign` hand work
305to g1t's agent; `plan` `create`, `get` and `apply` plan an outcome;
306`memory` `remember` saves a fact. `notifications` reads and answers the
307inbox of the person a token acts for: `list` (unread threads, each with a
308`reason` such as `agent` or `review_requested`), `done`, `subscribe`,
309`watch` and more; g1t's own token cannot use it. `search` runs `code`,
310`notifications` runs `list` and `account` runs `whoami` when `action` is
311left out. A call missing a required field says
312which, such as "issue.get needs number.". The earlier one-tool-per-operation
313names (`get_issue`, `create_pull_request`, …) still answer for now but are
314no longer listed. Every tool and action, with its required fields and
315scope: https://docs.g1t.sh/reference/mcp/
316
317g1t's own token can never change a repository's details, rename it
318or its branches, make it public or private, archive, transfer, delete,
319restore or purge it, or delete a workspace. MCP tools take the repository
320as `repo`, written `owner/name`.
321
322## Scopes
323
324Every access token and OAuth sign-in has scopes, `resource:level`:
325`repo`, `code`, `issues`, `pull_requests`, `workflows`, `checks`, `deployments`, `memory`,
326`account`, `notifications`, `access`, `webhooks`, `secrets`, `runners`, `models` (read, write or admin
327as each has them), `agents:run`, `workspace:read` and `workspace:admin`. A higher
328level includes the lower. A token may expire. It reaches every workspace
329and repository its owner can (a workspace's token, that workspace only);
330what a call may do is the owner's role and the token's scopes together.
331A token sees only the MCP tools and actions its scopes allow. A missing scope answers `403` with
332`{"error": {"code": "forbidden", "message": "This access token needs the issues:write scope to use create_issue.", "needed_scope": "issues:write"}}`.
333Pushing needs `code:write`; cloning a private repository `code:read`.
334Pushing commits that add, change or delete files under `.g1t/workflows/`
335or `.github/workflows/` also needs `workflow_files:write` (in no preset
336but full access); a workflow job's token never has it. A fine-grained
337token reaches one workspace (or only its owner's account), all, chosen or
338only public repositories of it, with permissions (`contents`, `issues`,
339`workflows`, …) mapped to these scopes; a workspace may require an owner to approve one first. For
340an agent, use the Agent preset (every read scope but `runners:read`, plus `code:write`,
341`issues:write`, `pull_requests:write`, `agents:run`, `memory:write`,
342`notifications:write`). For CI, the CI preset (`repo:read`, `code:read`,
343`code:write`, `packages:read`, `packages:write`, `workflows:read`,
344`workflows:write`, `deployments:read`, `deployments:write`). `models:write` (sending requests through the AI
345Gateway, which spends AI credit) is in no preset but full access.
346OAuth clients may send `scope`;
347the person can untick any; asking for none gives the Agent preset. Tokens
348from device sign-in (above) have full access. Guide:
349https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/authentication/#scopes
350
351## AI Gateway
352
353Your own code can call models through g1t in either format, with a
354workspace access token with `models:write` as the API key (`x-api-key` or
355`Authorization: Bearer`):
356- Anthropic's Messages API at `https://models.g1t.sh/anthropic`:
357 `POST /v1/messages` (streamed or not), `POST /v1/messages/count_tokens`.
358- OpenAI's at `https://models.g1t.sh/openai/v1`: `POST /chat/completions`
359 (streamed or not, function tools, `response_format`, `reasoning_effort`),
360 `POST /embeddings`, `GET /models` (what the workspace can use, with g1t's
361 `pricing` per million tokens and `billed_to`).
362Any model works in either format; the proxy translates. Model ids:
363`anthropic/claude-haiku-5-5` (cheapest Claude; priced higher above 100,000
364prompt tokens), `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5`, `anthropic/claude-opus-5-5`,
365`anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5` (bare Claude ids work too), and open models on
366Workers AI such as `workers-ai/@cf/openai/gpt-oss-120b`,
367`workers-ai/@cf/zai-org/glm-5.3-flash`, and embeddings
368`workers-ai/@cf/baai/bge-m3`. Requests on g1t's models are charged at the
369model's list price (no markup in beta) from included usage and AI credit,
370never the agent rate. The workspace's own providers under Integrations (an
371Anthropic or OpenAI key, any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoint such
372as vLLM or Ollama) take the models listed in their `config.gateway_models`
373(ids or `prefix*`; `ns/*` strips `ns/`; Anthropic keys default to
374`claude-*`), come first, and are free on g1t, only counted. Set them with
375`connect_integration` or `update_integration` (`workspace:admin`); keys are
376write-only. Refusals are in the route's format: `402` (`billing_error` /
377`insufficient_quota`) when out of AI credit, over the spend limit or not on
378the plan; `403` without `models:write` or with a personal token; `404` for a
379model no provider offers; `400` on g1t's models for fast mode (`speed`),
380`inference_geo`, `fallbacks`, `container`, server tools or non-function
381tools, `web_search_options` (all fine on the workspace's own provider). For
382Claude Code: `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://models.g1t.sh/anthropic` and
383`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=g1t_…`. The log (30 days, no prompts; each request's
384`format`, `provider`, `connection`, model and tokens):
385`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/gateway/requests` or the `billing` tool's
386`gateway_requests` action, with `models:read`. Guide:
387https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/ai-gateway/
388
389## Access and roles
390
391Everyone's access to a repository is a role: `read` (read, clone, open
392issues and pull requests, comment), `triage` (also label, assign, close),
393`write` (also push, merge, and put agents to work: anything that spends
394compute), `maintain` (also settings, branch protection, guardrails) or
395`admin` (also webhooks, secrets, deployments, domains, who has access,
396rename, archive, visibility, default branch). Owners of a workspace have
397admin on all of its repositories and alone transfer or delete them;
398members get the workspace's base permission (write unless owners change
399it); anyone can be given a role on one repository, as an outside
400collaborator; anyone reads a public repository. The highest wins. A
401private repository you cannot read answers `404`; one you can read but
402lack the role for answers `403` naming the role needed. An agent works
403with the role of the person it acts for on its repository, never more
404than `write`, and its token can never change who has access. An outside
405collaborator with `write` can put agents to work; the runs are charged to
406the repository's workspace, and their agents are told the project's memory,
407never the workspace's. Who can do what elsewhere: deployments are seen with
408`read` (on a public repository, by anyone, build logs included), deployed
409with `write`, configured (settings, domains) with `admin`; project settings
410and dependencies need `maintain`; repository webhooks, secrets and
411variables need `admin`, seeing them included; security alerts need
412`write` (dismissing a dependency alert too), dismissing or reopening a
413secret alert `admin`, turning security updates on or off `maintain`;
414enabling or disabling a workflow needs `maintain`; plans and project memory
415are read by anyone who can read the repository, and project memory is
416changed with `write`; workspace memory is for members. People: the
417workspace's Settings → Members (`g1t.sh/<owner>/-/people`, with an Outside
418collaborators tab and the Base permission for owners); a repository's
419Settings → Access (`g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/settings/access`); invitations
420are answered at `g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/invitations`.
421`GET {repo}/collaborators/{username}/permission` gives a role and what it
422allows. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/access-and-roles/
423
424Teams group a workspace's members (`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/teams`;
425the `team` MCP tool). A team given a role on a repository gives it to
426everyone in it and its child teams, and `source` is then `team`.
427`@workspace/team` in a comment tells the team's people; a pull request can
428ask a team to review (`POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/requested_reviewers` with
429`team_reviewers`), and the team may pick who. Guide:
430https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/teams/
431
432A CODEOWNERS file (`.g1t/CODEOWNERS`, `.github/CODEOWNERS`, `CODEOWNERS`,
433`docs/CODEOWNERS` or `.gitlab/CODEOWNERS`, the first found on the default
434branch) asks owners to review pull requests that change their files. With
435`require_code_owner_review` on (`PATCH {repo}/settings`), a merge waits for
436their approval; `code_owners` on `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}` says whose is
437missing, and `GET {repo}/codeowners/errors` checks the file. Guide:
438https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/codeowners/
439
440## Manage a repository
441
442People with the admin role rename it (`POST {repo}/rename` with `name`; the
443old address redirects), make it public or private
444(`POST {repo}/visibility` with `private` and its full name in `confirm`),
445archive or unarchive it (`POST {repo}/archive`, `POST {repo}/unarchive`),
446and owners of its workspace delete it (`DELETE {repo}` with its full name
447in `confirm`). A deleted
448repository can be restored for 30 days (`POST {repo}/restore`, listed by
449`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/repos/deleted`) and is then purged; its name
450stays taken until then, or until `POST {repo}/purge`. Maintain changes the
451description, `website` and `topics` with `PATCH {repo}`, admin the
452`default_branch`, and write renames branches with
453`POST {repo}/branches/{branch}/rename` and `new_name` (slashes in the
454branch URL-encoded); only admin renames the default branch. An archived
455repository is read-only: pushes and merges are refused, issues and pull
456requests are locked, and agents and workflows do not run on it.
457
458## Integrations
459
460A workspace's owners connect it to outside systems on its **Integrations**
461page, or with `POST /workspaces/{workspace}/integrations`:
462
463- **Its own model providers** (`anthropic`, `openai`, `gemini`, `xai`,
464 `mistral`, `deepseek`, `azure_openai`, `openrouter`, `groq`, `together`,
465 `fireworks`, `cerebras`, `anthropic_endpoint`, `openai_endpoint`), as many
466 as it uses, with each
467 kind of work routed to one of them or to g1t's hosted models
468 (`PUT /workspaces/{workspace}/model-routes`). Those providers bill the
469 workspace; g1t charges only each run's sandbox time, at cost plus 20%
470 (nothing on the workspace's own runners). Sandboxes never hold a key.
471- **Alerts** (`sentry`, `datadog`, `webhook`): each problem opens one issue
472 in a chosen repository, optionally with an agent put on it at once.
473 Senders sign requests to `https://api.g1t.sh/hooks/{integration}`.
474- **Trackers** (`jira`, `linear`): `GET {repo}/context?reference=TECH-1234`
475 fetches a ticket; `POST {repo}/issues/import` with `reference` (and
476 `assign`) opens a linked issue. Agents get tickets their work mentions in
477 their starting context. Ticket text is reference material, never
478 instructions.
479
480## Webhooks
481
482`POST {repo}/hooks` (or `/workspaces/{workspace}/hooks` for every
483repository in a workspace) with `url` and optional `events` sends events
484to that HTTPS address as they happen, signed in `X-G1t-Signature-256`
485(HMAC-SHA256 of the body), retried for about seven hours. Deliveries,
486with request and response, are at `…/hooks/{id}/deliveries`.
487
488## GitHub Actions
489
490GitHub Actions workflows run on g1t unchanged, from `.g1t/workflows/`
491(g1t never reads `.github`): moving a repository is `git mv .github .g1t`.
492Runs, jobs and logs are at GitHub's own routes under
493`{repo}/actions/...`. A run on a pull request's head is a check: pending
494holds the merge, failure refuses it and sends g1t back to fix it.
495Checks: CI and integrations report on commits with a token holding
496`checks:write` and the Write role: statuses
497(`POST {repo}/statuses/{sha}` with `state` pending/success/failure/error,
498`context`, `description`, `target_url`; `GET {repo}/commits/{ref}/status`
499combines them) and check runs (`POST {repo}/check-runs` with `name`,
500`head_sha`, `status`, `conclusion`, `output` {`title`, `summary`,
501`text`, `annotations`}, `actions`; `PATCH {repo}/check-runs/{id}` to
502complete one). A required check is met by a status or a check run of its
503name. g1t's agents read checks and never report them. Guide:
504https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/checks/
505Secrets and variables are one list per repository (site:
506`g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/settings/secrets`) and per workspace: each row is a
507key, Secret or Config, the environments it applies to (all, or e.g.
508production/preview, or a job's `environment:`), and whether workflows,
509deployments or both read it. API: `{repo}/actions/secrets` and
510`{repo}/actions/variables` (GitHub's routes) with extra `environments`,
511`available_to`, `repositories`, `note`, `id`. Every job gets
512`secrets.G1T_TOKEN` (`GITHUB_TOKEN` is its alias): a token for that job
513only, reaching its repository only, with the scopes its `permissions:`
514give (default `contents: read`, `packages: read`), revoked when the job
515ends; what it changes starts no workflows except `workflow_dispatch` and
516`repository_dispatch` (`POST {repo}/dispatches`). It cannot change
517secrets. A job naming an environment with protection rules (required
518reviewers, wait timer, branch limits; `PUT {repo}/environments/{name}`)
519waits until they pass, and reviewers approve it at
520`POST {repo}/actions/runs/{id}/pending_deployments`. A pull request's
521runs from outside may wait as `action_required` until someone with Write
522approves them (`POST {repo}/actions/runs/{id}/approve`); agents cannot
523approve runs or deployments. A pull request's runs and preview are trusted
524only when its author has `write` or higher on the repository (a member or
525an outside collaborator), or is g1t working on its own; for one g1t made,
526the role of whoever asked for it (`requested_by`) counts. Anyone else's run
527with config only. Guide:
528https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/secrets-and-variables/
529
530Self-hosted runners: a job with `runs-on: self-hosted` (or
531`[self-hosted, linux, gpu]`, or `{group: name}`) waits until a runner of the
532workspace's with every label takes it. Owners add one under
533`g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/runners`: a one-hour registration token, then
534`g1t-runner register --url https://g1t.sh --token g1trt_…` and
535`g1t-runner run`. Runners only connect out. API:
536`/workspaces/{workspace}/actions/runners`, `.../runner-groups`,
537`.../runner-settings` (and the same under `{repo}/actions/` for a
538repository's own); MCP: the `workflow` tool's `list_runners`,
539`create_runner_token`, `remove_runner`, runner group and settings actions
540(`runners:read`/`runners:admin`). Pull requests from forks never run on them
541unless allowed. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/self-hosted-runners/
542
543## Projects
544
545A project is what a workspace builds and runs; every repository is a
546project of its own name (`g1t.sh/<owner>/<project>` opens its overview; its
547code is under `/code`; every repository address still works). Deployments,
548secrets and variables belong to the project; branches, pull requests,
549review and merge rules to its repository (Settings → Repository). Guide:
550https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/projects/
551
552## Security
553
554A push that adds a known key or token format (AWS, GitHub, GitLab, Stripe
555live, Slack tokens and webhooks, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, npm, g1t,
556SendGrid, PEM private keys, service-role JWTs) is refused with every secret
557listed by `file:line` in git's output and a link to allow it; this includes
558an agent's push to its pull request. A very large push is scanned after it
559lands, not before: it goes through, its new commits (any branch) are
560scanned in the background, and a secret found is an open alert, emailed to
561the workspace's owners when it looks real. History is scanned once in the
562background. Never commit a secret: read it from the environment. Values are
563judged by the value alone, never the file's path: a documented example key,
564a value containing example/sample/dummy/fake/placeholder/changeme/notreal/
565redacted/xxxxx, one that counts up (six or more, like 123456), one
566character five or more times, a repeated short piece, or too little
567randomness is a "likely test value": listed apart, never blocks a push,
568never counted critical. Any other fixture carries `g1t:allow-secret` in a
569comment on its line. Alerts are `open`, `dismissed` or `fixed`. Dismissing a
570secret alert needs `admin`, with a reason (`false_positive`,
571`used_in_tests`, `wont_fix`: dismissed, and pushes carrying it go through;
572`revoked`: fixed) and an optional comment (500 characters); a dependency
573alert needs `write` (`fix_started`, `no_bandwidth`, `tolerable_risk`,
574`inaccurate`, `not_used`). Reopen undoes it. API:
575`GET {repo}/security/alerts` (`state`, `kind`),
576`POST {repo}/security/alerts/{id}/dismiss` (`reason`, `comment`),
577`POST {repo}/security/alerts/{id}/reopen`; MCP `repository` actions
578`security_alerts`, `dismiss_alert`, `reopen_alert` (`repo:read` to list,
579`repo:admin` to dismiss or reopen). Lockfiles (npm, pnpm, yarn, Cargo, Go,
580Python) on the default branch are checked against OSV on every push to it
581and daily. Security updates (on by default; `maintain` turns them off): for
582each vulnerable dependency with a fix, g1t itself opens a pull request
583authored by `g1t` from `g1t/security/<package>-<version>`, raising the
584version in each lockfile with the ecosystem's own tool; it merges through
585the branch's required checks and merge queue. A newer update for the same
586package, or the package no longer being vulnerable, closes it as
587superseded. Only when the bump fails, or required checks fail because code
588must change, does g1t open an issue and assign it to g1t (the session
589shows "started by g1t"). With no fix published, the alert links the
590advisory and is checked again daily. `.g1t/dependencies.yml` (version
591updates) is read and validated, but no version update pull requests are
592opened yet. `g1t` is not an account and cannot be signed in to.
593Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/security/
594
595The security suite (scopes `security:read`, `security:write`; MCP tool
596`security`). A push refused for a secret links to its alert, where anyone
597with `write` bypasses it with a reason (`false_positive`, `used_in_tests`,
598`will_fix_later`), or asks owners when the workspace delegates bypasses;
599an agent never bypasses: take the secret out and push again. Code
600scanning: upload SARIF 2.1.0 to `POST {repo}/code-scanning/sarifs`
601(`commit_sha`, `ref`, `sarif` gzipped then base64); default-branch results
602become alerts, pull request results (`refs/pull/<n>/head`) become line
603comments and the `Code scanning` status. `Dependency review` is a status on
604every pull request that changes a lockfile. Fix what either reports in your
605own pull request; both can be required checks. Also: custom patterns,
606validity checks, `GET {repo}/dependency-graph/sbom` (SPDX 2.3, in `sbom`),
607`GET {repo}/dependency-graph/compare/{base...head}`, and a workspace
608overview. On private repositories these need the Security and quality
609activation (`402` without it); public repositories have them free.

613
614## Deployments
615
616Part of the g1t plan ($20 a month per workspace, started by an owner
617under the workspace's Billing). No quotas: unlimited projects and
618previews (never charged); builds by the second, requests ($0.36/M), CPU
619($0.024/M ms) and custom domains ($0.12 a month each) metered from the
620first at cost + 20%, from the plan's $10 first. The trial
621never covers deployments. Then someone with admin on the repository
622turns deployments on for a project (Settings → Deployments, or Deploy on
623its overview). Production deploys from the default branch to
624`https://<project>-<owner>.g1t.page` on each push; every branch with an
625open pull request gets a preview at
626`https://<project>-git-<branch>-<owner>.g1t.page` (a fork's pull request is
627`pr-<n>`), shown on it as the check `g1t / deploy` (`g1t / deploy (<project>)`
628for a workspace's other projects). Builds and running apps
629read the project's secrets and variables available to Deployments, each
630key's Production or Preview row. Workers projects (`wrangler.jsonc`) and
631static sites build without configuration. Previews come down when the pull
632request closes and after idle days.
633Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/deployments/
634
635A repository's deployments, wherever they run, are one list: `source` is
636`api` (reported from any CI), `actions` (a g1t Actions job with
637`environment:`) or `g1t_page` (g1t.page builds, ids `dpl_…`, environments
638`production` and `preview`). Read with `GET {repo}/deployments` (filters
639`environment`, `ref`, `sha`, `task`, `state`, `source`, `creator`, `page`,
640`per_page`), `GET {repo}/deployments/{id}`, `GET {repo}/deployments/{id}/statuses`,
641`GET {repo}/environments` and `GET {repo}/environments/{environment}`
642(`deployments:read`, Read role). Report from a CI with
643`POST {repo}/deployments` (`ref`, optional `environment` (default
644`production`), `sha`, `task`, `description`, `payload`, `state`,
645`environment_url`, `log_url`), then
646`POST {repo}/deployments/{id}/statuses` with `state` (`queued`,
647`in_progress`, `success`, `failure`, `error`, `inactive`) and
648`environment_url` (`deployments:write`, Write role). A success makes the
649environment's older successful deployments `inactive` unless
650`auto_inactive: false`. Each status sets the commit check
651`deploy / <environment>`, which a ruleset's `required_deployments` rule can
652require. A g1t Actions job with `environment:` (or `{name, url}`) reports
653by itself, one deployment per run and environment; `deployment: false`
654opts out. MCP: the `workflow` tool's `list_deployments`, `get_deployment`,
655`create_deployment`, `deployment_statuses`, `create_deployment_status`,
656`list_environments`, `get_environment`. Webhooks: `deployment.created`,
657`deployment_status.created`. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/deployments-api/
658
659## Search
660
661`GET https://api.g1t.sh/search?q=<query>&type=<type>` (MCP: `search`, action `code`, the default)
662searches all of g1t: repositories (name, description, topics, README), code
663on default branches, issues, pull requests, people and workspaces. No token
664needed for public results; with one, private results the token's person
665can read are included (their workspaces' repositories, and those they were
666given a role on), checked against current membership and roles. `type` is
667`repositories`, `code`, `issues`, `pulls` or `people` (worked out from the
668qualifiers when left out); `page` and `per_page` (at most 50) page through.
669The query takes words, `"exact phrases"`, `-word` to leave out, and
670`repo:owner/name`, `org:<workspace>`, `language:<lang>`, `path:<prefix or
671*.glob>`, `is:issue`, `is:pr`, `is:open`, `is:closed`, `is:merged`,
672`author:<username>`, `label:<label>`. Code search matches any run of three
673characters or more; vendored directories, lockfiles, binaries and files
674over 512 KB are not indexed. Results give `counts` per type and each hit's
675`snippet` or code `lines` as parts with `highlight`. On the site:
676`https://g1t.sh/search?q=`, ⌘K, and `https://g1t.sh/explore` for public
677projects by activity, language (`?language=`) and topic (`?topic=`).
678The `search` tool's `context` action stays the search of one workspace's
679context hub. Guide:
680https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/search/
681
682## Facts
683
684- API base: `https://api.g1t.sh`. `GET /` lists the main URLs as templates;
685 every operation is in the OpenAPI document.
686 Auth: `Authorization: Bearer g1t_…`. Public data needs no token. Errors are
687 `{"error": {"code": "…", "message": "…"}}` with codes `unauthenticated`
688 (401), `payment_required` (402, when the plan or a limit refuses compute),
689 `forbidden` (403, with `needed_scope` when the token lacks a
690 scope), `not_found` (404), `conflict` (409), `invalid` (422),
691 `rate_limited` (429, with `Retry-After`: 1,000 requests a minute per
692 token, 60 per IP address without one; wait, then retry). Each
693 operation's scope is `x-scope` in the OpenAPI document. The full description is at https://api.g1t.sh/openapi.json.
694- Git remote: `https://g1t.sh/{workspace}/{repo}.git`. In API paths,
695 `{owner}` is the workspace. Pull request forks:
696 `https://g1t.sh/pulls/{pull_request_id}.git`. SSH is not available.
697- Limits: 1 GB per repository, 32 MB per file, 100 MB per push. Every
698 current limit, why it exists and the workaround:
699 https://docs.g1t.sh/about/limitations/
700- Forgotten password: https://g1t.sh/forgot (the person does this, in a
701 browser).
702- Times are RFC 3339 in UTC.
703- OAuth 2.1 for applications: metadata at
704 `https://api.g1t.sh/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`; authorization
705 code with PKCE (S256), public clients, dynamic registration.
706- A pull request whose required checks have not passed (failed, still
707 running, or not reported yet) is refused a merge with `409`, saying
708 which; where the repository allows bypassing them
709 (`allow_ignoring_checks`), someone who can merge can send
710 `{"ignore_checks": true}`. Checks that are not required never hold a
711 merge. With the merge queue on, the workflows behind required checks
712 need `merge_group` in their `on:`.
713- Landing fast-forwards the default branch: g1t makes no merge commit on
714 main. Bringing a pull request up to date makes a merge commit on its own
715 branch.
716- Pricing (https://g1t.sh/pricing): the forge is free. One plan, g1t, at
717 $20 a month per workspace with unlimited members, includes $10 of usage
718 at cost + 20% (unused does not roll over). Compute needs the plan or a
719 card check (never charged); the $5 trial needs a credit or debit card,
720 not a prepaid one. No quotas on the plan: everything is metered from the
721 first unit at cost + 20%, and only the spend limit stops work. Every
722 workspace has 1 GB of private storage and 50,000 git operations a month
723 free; past them, the plan pays ($0.60/GB-month, $0.18/1,000) and a free
724 workspace is held (pushes to private repositories stop; git slowed to 60
725 an hour). Limits: $100 in a
726 paid workspace's first month, rising as payments clear; owners set a
727 spend limit, prepay, or ask with Raise my limit. Caps: $2 a run and $10
728 an issue by default. A spend spike pauses new compute until an owner
729 chooses Keep going or Stop (`/<workspace>/-/billing`). Audit log: 90 days
730 on every plan.
