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

15This file tells an assistant everything needed to get a person set up on g1t
16and working. You never ask for, see, or send the person's password. Accounts
17are created and approved only in their browser.
18
19## Set someone up
20
211. **Start a sign-in.**
22
23 ```sh
24 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/device/code \
25 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
26 -d '{"client_name": "Claude Code"}'
27 ```
28
29 The response has `device_code` (keep it; do not show it),
30 `user_code` (like `WDJB-MJHT`), `verification_uri_complete`, `interval`
31 and `expires_in`.
32
332. **Send the person to their browser.** Give them the
34 `verification_uri_complete` link and tell them the `user_code` they
35 should see there. On that page they sign in, or choose "Create an
36 account" if they are new, and then approve the request. Wait for them.
37
38 A new account also gets a confirmation email from `noreply@g1t.sh`. Ask
39 them to open it and follow the link. Until they do, the account cannot
40 create repositories, push, or open issues: those calls return `403`
41 with a message saying to confirm the address.
42
433. **Collect the token.** Poll every `interval` seconds, not faster:
44
45 ```sh
46 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/device/token \
47 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
48 -d '{"device_code": "DEVICE_CODE"}'
49 ```
50
51 `{"status": "pending"}` means keep waiting. `denied` and `expired` mean
52 start again from step 1. `approved` comes with `token`, `username` and
53 `verified`. The token is returned once. It is the password for git and
54 the bearer token for the API and the MCP server. Store it as `G1T_TOKEN`;
55 never write it into a repository. Your person can see and delete it at
56 g1t.sh/settings/tokens. If `verified` is `false`, the
57 confirmation email has not been followed yet.
58
594. **Connect the MCP server** (any MCP client with HTTP transport works).
60 Claude Code:
61
62 ```sh
63 claude mcp add --transport http g1t https://mcp.g1t.sh \
64 --header "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN"
65 ```
66
67 Codex, in `~/.codex/config.toml`:
68
69 ```toml
70 [mcp_servers.g1t]
71 url = "https://mcp.g1t.sh"
72 bearer_token_env_var = "G1T_TOKEN"
73 ```
74
75 OpenCode, in `opencode.json`:
76
77 ```json
78 { "mcp": { "g1t": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://mcp.g1t.sh", "oauth": false,
79 "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer {env:G1T_TOKEN}" } } } }
80 ```
81
82 Cursor, in `.cursor/mcp.json`:
83
84 ```json
85 { "mcpServers": { "g1t": { "url": "https://mcp.g1t.sh",
86 "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:G1T_TOKEN}" } } } }
87 ```
88
89 Without the header, a client that supports MCP authorization signs the
90 person in through their browser instead (Claude Code: `/mcp`, then
91 choose g1t; Codex: `codex mcp login g1t`; OpenCode: `opencode mcp auth
92 g1t`; Cursor: when it first connects). The MCP server always needs one
93 or the other.
94
955. **Create a workspace** if `GET /user` shows none. A workspace owns
96 repositories and is the first part of their address. Ask the person what
97 to call it; their username is a sensible default.
98
99 ```sh
100 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/workspaces \
101 -H "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
102 -d '{"slug": "WORKSPACE"}'
103 ```
104
1056. **Or import one.** `POST /repos` with `name` and
106 `import_url` (the https address of a public repository, such as one on
107 GitHub) copies its default branch.
108
1097. **Push a repository.** Pushing to a repository that does not exist, in a
110 workspace the person belongs to, creates it, public by default.
111
112 ```sh
113 git remote add g1t https://g1t.sh/WORKSPACE/REPO.git
114 git -c credential.helper= \
115 -c "http.extraHeader=Authorization: Basic $(printf '%s' "USERNAME:$G1T_TOKEN" | base64)" \
116 push -u g1t main
117 ```
118
119 Or let git ask: the username is the g1t username and the password is the
120 token.
121
1228. **Record Claude Code sessions automatically** (optional). This installs
123 hooks that record prompts, tool calls and replies onto the g1t pull
124 request for the branch being worked on. The person runs it, because it
125 signs them in through their browser:
126
127 ```sh
128 curl -fsSL https://g1t.sh/install/claude.sh | sh
129 ```
130
131## Do work
132
133Issues and pull requests are addressed by repository and number, and share
134one sequence of numbers: `#12` is one or the other. Below, `{repo}` stands
135for `/repos/{owner}/{name}`.
136
137- **Find work:** `GET {repo}/issues?state=open`, optionally `&label=bug`
138 or `&milestone=3`.
139- **Open an issue:** `POST {repo}/issues` with `title`, `body`, and
140 optional `labels` (the repository's, from `GET {repo}/labels`, such as
141 `bug` or `enhancement`; a new name makes a new label only for someone
142 with the Triage role) and `milestone` (a number from
143 `GET {repo}/milestones`). Say what done means in the body, under `## Definition of done`
144 if you like; it guides whoever does the work but never gates a merge.
145 The old `checks` field is deprecated: its commands are added to the body
146 under "Definition of done" and the response has a `deprecation` note.
147- **Read an issue:** `GET {repo}/issues/{number}`. It lists every pull
148 request already made for it. A closed issue's `resolved_by` is the number
149 of the pull request that was merged.
150- **Open a pull request:** `POST {repo}/pulls` with `issue` (its number) and
151 `agent` (a label such as `claude-code`). Without an issue, send `title`.
152 The response has `pull.number` and `git.remote`, the pull request's own
153 fork. Clone it, commit, and push to it with the token. It starts as a
154 draft. It merges into the default branch; send `base` only when asked
155 to target another branch. If the change is already on a branch pushed to the repository,
156 send `branch` (and `title`, `body`) instead: no fork is made and the pull
157 request is ready at once.
158- **Record the session** as you work, so people can see why a change was
159 made: `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/session` with
160 `{"entries": [{"kind": "message", "text": "…"}]}`. Kinds are `prompt`,
161 `message`, `tool_call`, `tool_result`, `note`. Never include secrets;
162 sessions are as visible as the repository.
163- **Mark it ready:** `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/ready` with `summary`, which
164 becomes the pull request's description.
165- **See what a pull request changes:** `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}/changes`.
166- **Before going far**, read `overlaps` on `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}`:
167 other pull requests in progress changing the same files. `behind` says
168 whether main has moved since; if so, pull main into the fork and push.
169- **Checks:** the repository's workflows (`.g1t/workflows`, GitHub Actions
170 syntax) run on every pull request's head, and each reports a check named
171 after the workflow, such as `CI`. Before you push, run the same tests and
172 linters those workflows run. `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}` returns
173 `statuses`, `required_checks` and `rules`: each check the branch it merges into
174 requires, as `success`, `failure`, `pending` or `expected` (not reported
175 yet). If one failed, read why with `GET {repo}/actions/runs/{id}` and
176 `GET {repo}/actions/jobs/{job}/logs`, push a fix, and the workflows run
177 again. `GET {repo}/commits/{ref}/check-runs` lists every check run on a
178 commit (each workflow job is one), and
179 `GET {repo}/check-runs/{id}/annotations` the lines a failing one points at.
180 `GET {repo}/check-names` lists the check names seen in the last
181 30 days. `rules.unmet` lists every rule of that branch not met yet, with
182 what to do; `GET {repo}/rules/branches/{branch}` lists every rule. Rules
183 hold for agents exactly as for people: a push that breaks one is refused
184 with the ruleset and rule named, so read the `remote:` lines and fix the
185 commits. `required_checks` on `PATCH {repo}/settings` sets which ones a
186 merge needs.
187- **Comment** on an issue or a pull request:
188 `POST {repo}/issues/{number}/comments` with `body`. On a pull request, add
189 `path` and `line` to comment on one line of the change.
190- **Review** someone else's pull request:
191 `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/reviews` with `verdict` (`approve` or
192 `request_changes`) and `body`.
193- **Merge** (the Write role or higher on the repository):
194 `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/merge`. This closes the issue it was for and
195 closes the other pull requests for that issue as superseded; send
196 `{"keep_issue_open": true}` if this is only part of the work. If main has
197 moved, g1t brings the pull request up to date and lands it when that is
198 done. A repository that requires pull requests to be up to date answers
199 `409` instead: pull main from `https://g1t.sh/{owner}/{name}.git` into the
200 fork, push, and merge again.
201 With the merge queue on, merging adds the pull request to the queue
202 instead; `GET {repo}/queue` shows it being tested with the pull requests
203 ahead of it, and it lands only if that combination passes.
204
205## Hand work to g1t
206
207Agents, workflows and the merge queue run on g1t's machines, so they
208need a paid workspace, or the one-time $5 trial after a card check.
209Deployments need the plan; the trial never covers them. Workflows and the merge queue on public repositories
210can also run from g1t's open-source pool, after the same card check.
211Agents never run from the pool. Workflow jobs with `runs-on: self-hosted`
212run on the workspace's own machines (`g1t-runner`, any OS) at $0, on every
213plan; a workspace can send agent work there too. Each workspace decides how its agents
214reach a model: its own provider (connected under Integrations, billed by
215the provider) or g1t's hosted models (while payments are in test mode,
216only for a few invited workspaces; a trial does not open them, and an
217agent assigned without a model is refused with `no_model`); the sandbox is g1t's unless the work goes to
218the workspace's own runners.
219When the plan refuses a start, these calls answer with a failure whose
220message says what to do and where (such as `/acme/-/billing`). When every
221agent slot of the workspace is busy, the message starts "Waiting for a
222free slot" and the work starts by itself when one finishes.
223
224- **Hand off an outcome:** `POST {repo}/plans` with `brief`: what should be
225 true when the work is done. A planner reads the repository and proposes
226 issues, each with what done means (`done`), the files it touches, and what it depends
227 on. Read it with `GET {repo}/plans/{plan}` until `status` is `ready`
228 (a minute or two), then `POST {repo}/plans/{plan}/apply` with
229 `{"assign": true}`. Agents start at once on every issue that depends on
230 nothing and on the rest as what they depend on lands. `keep` opens only
231 some of the issues, by position counting from 1.
232- **Assign one issue:** `POST {repo}/issues/{number}/assign`. The agent
233 opens a pull request, waits for the repository's workflows on it and is
234 sent back with the failing jobs' log tails when one fails, is reviewed by
235 a second agent, revises, and catches up when main moves. After its
236 revisions (`max_revisions`, 2 by default) only a required check still
237 failing holds it for a person. There is no model or
238 agent count to choose: to put more agents to work, assign more issues.
239 On g1t's hosted models, Auto routes each job to the cheapest of three
240 tiers that can do it, fast, standard and most capable: catching up,
241 answering and reviews of small changes that touch no sensitive path
242 start fast; making changes, revising, planning and other reviews start
243 standard; reviews of very large changes and issues labelled
244 `architecture` start most capable. A failed attempt moves the next one
245 up a tier (two in a row: most capable), and a repository's own recent
246 runs move work down or up. Each run states its model and why in one
247 line, on the run and in the session. An owner can pin a tier per kind of
248 work instead (`PUT /workspaces/{workspace}/model-routes`, `model`
249 `small`, `large` or `frontier` with `connection_id` null).
250- **Who a g1t pull request is for:** g1t is the `author` (`username`
251 `g1t`, `kind` `agent`) of every pull request it makes and every issue it
252 files at work; `requested_by` is the person who asked (null when nobody
253 did, as for a security update). That person answers for it as an author
254 would: they may update, close and steer it without Triage, cannot
255 approve it, are never asked to review it, see it in their own lists, and
256 its sandboxes, workflows and previews are trusted as they are. Webhooks
257 carry `data.author` and `data.requested_by`; Actions payloads
258 `pull_request.user` (a `Bot`) and `pull_request.requested_by`.
259- **Put an agent on something in one step:** `POST {repo}/issues/delegate`
260 with `title` and `body` (what to do, in plain words, and what done
261 means if you know it). It opens the issue and assigns g1t at once; it needs the
262 Write role, and nothing opens without it. The issue opens even when the
263 agent cannot start: `agent.status` is `started` (with `pull`), `queued`,
264 or `not_started` with `agent.code` (`not_paid`, `trial_used`, `limit`,
265 `paused`, `issue_cap`, `billing_unavailable`, `no_model`), `agent.message`
266 and `agent.fix_url`.
267- **How sure g1t is of a change:** once g1t finishes, the pull
268 request's `confidence` is `high`, `medium` or `low` with short `reasons`
269 ("tests not added", "3 revisions"), from its required checks, revisions, review,
270 tests, size, reach, guardrails and unanswered questions. The agent's own
271 word (`self_reported`, `uncertain_about`) can only lower it. With the
272 repository setting `hold_low_confidence` on (the default), a change rated
273 low waits for a person's approval instead of merging by itself.
274- **Steer a working agent:** `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/messages` with
275 `body`. It reads the message at its next step.
276- **g1t's runs talk to each other.** g1t asks the agent on another
277 pull request a question, or hands it work, with `agent` `message`
278 (`kind` `question` or `handoff`, and `from_number`, its own pull
279 request). The other agent replies with `agent` `answer`
280 (`POST {repo}/messages/{id}/answer`); one that is not at work is woken
281 to answer, in its own pull request's sandbox. Plans show these exchanges under
282 "Agents talking". From any other caller, `agent` `message` sends a plain
283 message.
284
285Every one of these is also on the MCP server. Its tools are resources,
286each with an `action`: `search`, `repository`, `issue`, `pull_request`,
287`agent`, `plan`, `memory`, `workflow`, `secret`, `webhook`, `access`,
288`workspace`, `notifications` and `account`. Call `tools/call` with the tool's name and
289`arguments` holding `action` and its inputs, such as
290`{"name": "issue", "arguments": {"action": "get", "repo": "acme/web", "number": 12}}`.
291The flow above is: `issue` `get`, `memory` `recall`, `pull_request`
292`create` (with `issue`), push, `pull_request` `record_session` as you go,
293`pull_request` `ready` with `summary`; read `overlaps`, `behind`,
294`statuses` and `required_checks` on `pull_request` `get`, and
295`repository` `check_names` for the names a branch can require;
296`workflow` `list_check_runs` and `check_run_annotations` for what a
297commit's checks say. `agent` `delegate` and `agent` `assign` hand work
298to g1t's agent; `plan` `create`, `get` and `apply` plan an outcome;
299`memory` `remember` saves a fact. `notifications` reads and answers the
300inbox of the person a token acts for: `list` (unread threads, each with a
301`reason` such as `agent` or `review_requested`), `done`, `subscribe`,
302`watch` and more; g1t's own token cannot use it. `search` runs `code`,
303`notifications` runs `list` and `account` runs `whoami` when `action` is
304left out. A call missing a required field says
305which, such as "issue.get needs number.". The earlier one-tool-per-operation
306names (`get_issue`, `create_pull_request`, …) still answer for now but are
307no longer listed. Every tool and action, with its required fields and
308scope: https://docs.g1t.sh/reference/mcp/
309
310g1t's own token can never change a repository's details, rename it
311or its branches, make it public or private, archive, transfer, delete,
312restore or purge it, or delete a workspace. MCP tools take the repository
313as `repo`, written `owner/name`.
314
315## Scopes
316
317Every access token and OAuth sign-in has scopes, `resource:level`:
318`repo`, `code`, `issues`, `pull_requests`, `workflows`, `checks`, `deployments`, `memory`,
319`account`, `notifications`, `access`, `webhooks`, `secrets`, `runners`, `models` (read, write or admin
320as each has them), `agents:run`, `workspace:read` and `workspace:admin`. A higher
321level includes the lower. A token may expire. It reaches every workspace
322and repository its owner can (a workspace's token, that workspace only);
323what a call may do is the owner's role and the token's scopes together.
324A token sees only the MCP tools and actions its scopes allow. A missing scope answers `403` with
325`{"error": {"code": "forbidden", "message": "This access token needs the issues:write scope to use create_issue.", "needed_scope": "issues:write"}}`.
326Pushing needs `code:write`; cloning a private repository `code:read`. For
327an agent, use the Agent preset (every read scope but `runners:read`, plus `code:write`,
328`issues:write`, `pull_requests:write`, `agents:run`, `memory:write`,
329`notifications:write`). For CI, the CI preset (`repo:read`, `code:read`,
330`code:write`, `packages:read`, `packages:write`, `workflows:read`,
331`workflows:write`, `deployments:read`, `deployments:write`). `models:write` (sending requests through the AI
332Gateway, which spends AI credit) is in no preset but full access.
333OAuth clients may send `scope`;
334the person can untick any; asking for none gives the Agent preset. Tokens
335from device sign-in (above) have full access. Guide:
336https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/authentication/#scopes
337
338## AI Gateway
339
340Your own code can call models through g1t in either format, with a
341workspace access token with `models:write` as the API key (`x-api-key` or
342`Authorization: Bearer`):
343- Anthropic's Messages API at `https://models.g1t.sh/anthropic`:
344 `POST /v1/messages` (streamed or not), `POST /v1/messages/count_tokens`.
345- OpenAI's at `https://models.g1t.sh/openai/v1`: `POST /chat/completions`
346 (streamed or not, function tools, `response_format`, `reasoning_effort`),
347 `POST /embeddings`, `GET /models` (what the workspace can use, with g1t's
348 `pricing` per million tokens and `billed_to`).
349Any model works in either format; the proxy translates. Model ids:
350`anthropic/claude-haiku-5-5` (cheapest Claude; priced higher above 100,000
351prompt tokens), `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5`, `anthropic/claude-opus-5-5`,
352`anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5` (bare Claude ids work too), and open models on
353Workers AI such as `workers-ai/@cf/openai/gpt-oss-120b`,
354`workers-ai/@cf/zai-org/glm-5.3-flash`, and embeddings
355`workers-ai/@cf/baai/bge-m3`. Requests on g1t's models are charged at the
356model's list price (no markup in beta) from included usage and AI credit,
357never the agent rate. The workspace's own providers under Integrations (an
358Anthropic or OpenAI key, any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoint such
359as vLLM or Ollama) take the models listed in their `config.gateway_models`
360(ids or `prefix*`; `ns/*` strips `ns/`; Anthropic keys default to
361`claude-*`), come first, and are free on g1t, only counted. Set them with
362`connect_integration` or `update_integration` (`workspace:admin`); keys are
363write-only. Refusals are in the route's format: `402` (`billing_error` /
364`insufficient_quota`) when out of AI credit, over the spend limit or not on
365the plan; `403` without `models:write` or with a personal token; `404` for a
366model no provider offers; `400` on g1t's models for fast mode (`speed`),
367`inference_geo`, `fallbacks`, `container`, server tools or non-function
368tools, `web_search_options` (all fine on the workspace's own provider). For
369Claude Code: `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://models.g1t.sh/anthropic` and
370`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=g1t_…`. The log (30 days, no prompts; each request's
371`format`, `provider`, `connection`, model and tokens):
372`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/gateway/requests` or the `billing` tool's
373`gateway_requests` action, with `models:read`. Guide:
374https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/ai-gateway/
375
376## Access and roles
377
378Everyone's access to a repository is a role: `read` (read, clone, open
379issues and pull requests, comment), `triage` (also label, assign, close),
380`write` (also push, merge, and put agents to work: anything that spends
381compute), `maintain` (also settings, branch protection, guardrails) or
382`admin` (also webhooks, secrets, deployments, domains, who has access,
383rename, archive, visibility, default branch). Owners of a workspace have
384admin on all of its repositories and alone transfer or delete them;
385members get the workspace's base permission (write unless owners change
386it); anyone can be given a role on one repository, as an outside
387collaborator; anyone reads a public repository. The highest wins. A
388private repository you cannot read answers `404`; one you can read but
389lack the role for answers `403` naming the role needed. An agent works
390with the role of the person it acts for on its repository, never more
391than `write`, and its token can never change who has access. An outside
392collaborator with `write` can put agents to work; the runs are charged to
393the repository's workspace, and their agents are told the project's memory,
394never the workspace's. Who can do what elsewhere: deployments are seen with
395`read` (on a public repository, by anyone, build logs included), deployed
396with `write`, configured (settings, domains) with `admin`; project settings
397and dependencies need `maintain`; repository webhooks, secrets and
398variables need `admin`, seeing them included; security alerts need
399`write` (dismissing a dependency alert too), dismissing or reopening a
400secret alert `admin`, turning security updates on or off `maintain`;
401enabling or disabling a workflow needs `maintain`; plans and project memory
402are read by anyone who can read the repository, and project memory is
403changed with `write`; workspace memory is for members. People: the
404workspace's Settings → Members (`g1t.sh/<owner>/-/people`, with an Outside
405collaborators tab and the Base permission for owners); a repository's
406Settings → Access (`g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/settings/access`); invitations
407are answered at `g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/invitations`.
408`GET {repo}/collaborators/{username}/permission` gives a role and what it
409allows. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/access-and-roles/
410
411Teams group a workspace's members (`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/teams`;
412the `team` MCP tool). A team given a role on a repository gives it to
413everyone in it and its child teams, and `source` is then `team`.
414`@workspace/team` in a comment tells the team's people; a pull request can
415ask a team to review (`POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/requested_reviewers` with
416`team_reviewers`), and the team may pick who. Guide:
417https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/teams/
418
419A CODEOWNERS file (`.g1t/CODEOWNERS`, `.github/CODEOWNERS`, `CODEOWNERS`,
420`docs/CODEOWNERS` or `.gitlab/CODEOWNERS`, the first found on the default
421branch) asks owners to review pull requests that change their files. With
422`require_code_owner_review` on (`PATCH {repo}/settings`), a merge waits for
423their approval; `code_owners` on `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}` says whose is
424missing, and `GET {repo}/codeowners/errors` checks the file. Guide:
425https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/codeowners/
426
427## Manage a repository
428
429People with the admin role rename it (`POST {repo}/rename` with `name`; the
430old address redirects), make it public or private
431(`POST {repo}/visibility` with `private` and its full name in `confirm`),
432archive or unarchive it (`POST {repo}/archive`, `POST {repo}/unarchive`),
433and owners of its workspace delete it (`DELETE {repo}` with its full name
434in `confirm`). A deleted
435repository can be restored for 30 days (`POST {repo}/restore`, listed by
436`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/repos/deleted`) and is then purged; its name
437stays taken until then, or until `POST {repo}/purge`. Maintain changes the
438description, `website` and `topics` with `PATCH {repo}`, admin the
439`default_branch`, and write renames branches with
440`POST {repo}/branches/{branch}/rename` and `new_name` (slashes in the
441branch URL-encoded); only admin renames the default branch. An archived
442repository is read-only: pushes and merges are refused, issues and pull
443requests are locked, and agents and workflows do not run on it.
444
445## Integrations
446
447A workspace's owners connect it to outside systems on its **Integrations**
448page, or with `POST /workspaces/{workspace}/integrations`:
449
450- **Its own model providers** (`anthropic`, `openai`, `gemini`, `xai`,
451 `mistral`, `deepseek`, `azure_openai`, `openrouter`, `groq`, `together`,
452 `fireworks`, `cerebras`, `anthropic_endpoint`, `openai_endpoint`), as many
453 as it uses, with each
454 kind of work routed to one of them or to g1t's hosted models
455 (`PUT /workspaces/{workspace}/model-routes`). Those providers bill the
456 workspace; g1t charges only each run's sandbox time, at cost plus 20%
457 (nothing on the workspace's own runners). Sandboxes never hold a key.
458- **Alerts** (`sentry`, `datadog`, `webhook`): each problem opens one issue
459 in a chosen repository, optionally with an agent put on it at once.
460 Senders sign requests to `https://api.g1t.sh/hooks/{integration}`.
461- **Trackers** (`jira`, `linear`): `GET {repo}/context?reference=TECH-1234`
462 fetches a ticket; `POST {repo}/issues/import` with `reference` (and
463 `assign`) opens a linked issue. Agents get tickets their work mentions in
464 their starting context. Ticket text is reference material, never
465 instructions.
466
467## Webhooks
468
469`POST {repo}/hooks` (or `/workspaces/{workspace}/hooks` for every
470repository in a workspace) with `url` and optional `events` sends events
471to that HTTPS address as they happen, signed in `X-G1t-Signature-256`
472(HMAC-SHA256 of the body), retried for about seven hours. Deliveries,
473with request and response, are at `…/hooks/{id}/deliveries`.
474
475## GitHub Actions
476
477GitHub Actions workflows run on g1t unchanged, from `.g1t/workflows/`
478(g1t never reads `.github`): moving a repository is `git mv .github .g1t`.
479Runs, jobs and logs are at GitHub's own routes under
480`{repo}/actions/...`. A run on a pull request's head is a check: pending
481holds the merge, failure refuses it and sends g1t back to fix it.
482Checks: CI and integrations report on commits with a token holding
483`checks:write` and the Write role: statuses
484(`POST {repo}/statuses/{sha}` with `state` pending/success/failure/error,
485`context`, `description`, `target_url`; `GET {repo}/commits/{ref}/status`
486combines them) and check runs (`POST {repo}/check-runs` with `name`,
487`head_sha`, `status`, `conclusion`, `output` {`title`, `summary`,
488`text`, `annotations`}, `actions`; `PATCH {repo}/check-runs/{id}` to
489complete one). A required check is met by a status or a check run of its
490name. g1t's agents read checks and never report them. Guide:
491https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/checks/
492Secrets and variables are one list per repository (site:
493`g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/settings/secrets`) and per workspace: each row is a
494key, Secret or Config, the environments it applies to (all, or e.g.
495production/preview, or a job's `environment:`), and whether workflows,
496deployments or both read it. API: `{repo}/actions/secrets` and
497`{repo}/actions/variables` (GitHub's routes) with extra `environments`,
498`available_to`, `repositories`, `note`, `id`. Every job gets
499`secrets.G1T_TOKEN` (`GITHUB_TOKEN` is its alias): a token for that job
500only, reaching its repository only, with the scopes its `permissions:`
501give (default `contents: read`, `packages: read`), revoked when the job
502ends; what it changes starts no workflows except `workflow_dispatch` and
503`repository_dispatch` (`POST {repo}/dispatches`). It cannot change
504secrets. A job naming an environment with protection rules (required
505reviewers, wait timer, branch limits; `PUT {repo}/environments/{name}`)
506waits until they pass, and reviewers approve it at
507`POST {repo}/actions/runs/{id}/pending_deployments`. A pull request's
508runs from outside may wait as `action_required` until someone with Write
509approves them (`POST {repo}/actions/runs/{id}/approve`); agents cannot
510approve runs or deployments. A pull request's runs and preview are trusted
511only when its author has `write` or higher on the repository (a member or
512an outside collaborator), or is g1t working on its own; for one g1t made,
513the role of whoever asked for it (`requested_by`) counts. Anyone else's run
514with config only. Guide:
515https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/secrets-and-variables/
516
517Self-hosted runners: a job with `runs-on: self-hosted` (or
518`[self-hosted, linux, gpu]`, or `{group: name}`) waits until a runner of the
519workspace's with every label takes it. Owners add one under
520`g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/runners`: a one-hour registration token, then
521`g1t-runner register --url https://g1t.sh --token g1trt_…` and
522`g1t-runner run`. Runners only connect out. API:
523`/workspaces/{workspace}/actions/runners`, `.../runner-groups`,
524`.../runner-settings` (and the same under `{repo}/actions/` for a
525repository's own); MCP: the `workflow` tool's `list_runners`,
526`create_runner_token`, `remove_runner`, runner group and settings actions
527(`runners:read`/`runners:admin`). Pull requests from forks never run on them
528unless allowed. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/self-hosted-runners/
529
530## Projects
531
532A project is what a workspace builds and runs; every repository is a
533project of its own name (`g1t.sh/<owner>/<project>` opens its overview; its
534code is under `/code`; every repository address still works). Deployments,
535secrets and variables belong to the project; branches, pull requests,
536review and merge rules to its repository (Settings → Repository). Guide:
537https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/projects/
538
539## Security
540
541A push that adds a known key or token format (AWS, GitHub, GitLab, Stripe
542live, Slack tokens and webhooks, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, npm, g1t,
543SendGrid, PEM private keys, service-role JWTs) is refused with every secret
544listed by `file:line` in git's output and a link to allow it; this includes
545an agent's push to its pull request. A very large push is scanned after it
546lands, not before: it goes through, its new commits (any branch) are
547scanned in the background, and a secret found is an open alert, emailed to
548the workspace's owners when it looks real. History is scanned once in the
549background. Never commit a secret: read it from the environment. Values are
550judged by the value alone, never the file's path: a documented example key,
551a value containing example/sample/dummy/fake/placeholder/changeme/notreal/
552redacted/xxxxx, one that counts up (six or more, like 123456), one
553character five or more times, a repeated short piece, or too little
554randomness is a "likely test value": listed apart, never blocks a push,
555never counted critical. Any other fixture carries `g1t:allow-secret` in a
556comment on its line. Alerts are `open`, `dismissed` or `fixed`. Dismissing a
557secret alert needs `admin`, with a reason (`false_positive`,
558`used_in_tests`, `wont_fix`: dismissed, and pushes carrying it go through;
559`revoked`: fixed) and an optional comment (500 characters); a dependency
560alert needs `write` (`fix_started`, `no_bandwidth`, `tolerable_risk`,
561`inaccurate`, `not_used`). Reopen undoes it. API:
562`GET {repo}/security/alerts` (`state`, `kind`),
563`POST {repo}/security/alerts/{id}/dismiss` (`reason`, `comment`),
564`POST {repo}/security/alerts/{id}/reopen`; MCP `repository` actions
565`security_alerts`, `dismiss_alert`, `reopen_alert` (`repo:read` to list,
566`repo:admin` to dismiss or reopen). Lockfiles (npm, pnpm, yarn, Cargo, Go,
567Python) on the default branch are checked against OSV on every push to it
568and daily. Security updates (on by default; `maintain` turns them off): for
569each vulnerable dependency with a fix, g1t itself opens a pull request
570authored by `g1t` from `g1t/security/<package>-<version>`, raising the
571version in each lockfile with the ecosystem's own tool; it merges through
572the branch's required checks and merge queue. A newer update for the same
573package, or the package no longer being vulnerable, closes it as
574superseded. Only when the bump fails, or required checks fail because code
575must change, does g1t open an issue and assign it to g1t (the session
576shows "started by g1t"). With no fix published, the alert links the
577advisory and is checked again daily. `.g1t/dependencies.yml` (version
578updates) is read and validated, but no version update pull requests are
579opened yet. `g1t` is not an account and cannot be signed in to.
580Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/security/
581
582The security suite (scopes `security:read`, `security:write`; MCP tool
583`security`). A push refused for a secret links to its alert, where anyone
584with `write` bypasses it with a reason (`false_positive`, `used_in_tests`,
585`will_fix_later`), or asks owners when the workspace delegates bypasses;
586an agent never bypasses: take the secret out and push again. Code
587scanning: upload SARIF 2.1.0 to `POST {repo}/code-scanning/sarifs`
588(`commit_sha`, `ref`, `sarif` gzipped then base64); default-branch results
589become alerts, pull request results (`refs/pull/<n>/head`) become line
590comments and the `Code scanning` status. `Dependency review` is a status on
591every pull request that changes a lockfile. Fix what either reports in your
592own pull request; both can be required checks. Also: custom patterns,
593validity checks, `GET {repo}/dependency-graph/sbom` (SPDX 2.3, in `sbom`),
594`GET {repo}/dependency-graph/compare/{base...head}`, and a workspace
595overview. On private repositories these need the Security and quality
596activation (`402` without it); public repositories have them free.

601## Deployments
602
603Part of the g1t plan ($20 a month per workspace, started by an owner
604under the workspace's Billing). No quotas: unlimited projects and
605previews (never charged); builds by the second, requests ($0.36/M), CPU
606($0.024/M ms) and custom domains ($0.12 a month each) metered from the
607first at cost + 20%, from the plan's $10 first. The trial
608never covers deployments. Then someone with admin on the repository
609turns deployments on for a project (Settings → Deployments, or Deploy on
610its overview). Production deploys from the default branch to
611`https://<project>-<owner>.g1t.page` on each push; every branch with an
612open pull request gets a preview at
613`https://<project>-git-<branch>-<owner>.g1t.page` (a fork's pull request is
614`pr-<n>`), shown on it as the check `g1t / deploy` (`g1t / deploy (<project>)`
615for a workspace's other projects). Builds and running apps
616read the project's secrets and variables available to Deployments, each
617key's Production or Preview row. Workers projects (`wrangler.jsonc`) and
618static sites build without configuration. Previews come down when the pull
619request closes and after idle days.
620Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/deployments/
621
622A repository's deployments, wherever they run, are one list: `source` is
623`api` (reported from any CI), `actions` (a g1t Actions job with
624`environment:`) or `g1t_page` (g1t.page builds, ids `dpl_…`, environments
625`production` and `preview`). Read with `GET {repo}/deployments` (filters
626`environment`, `ref`, `sha`, `task`, `state`, `source`, `creator`, `page`,
627`per_page`), `GET {repo}/deployments/{id}`, `GET {repo}/deployments/{id}/statuses`,
628`GET {repo}/environments` and `GET {repo}/environments/{environment}`
629(`deployments:read`, Read role). Report from a CI with
630`POST {repo}/deployments` (`ref`, optional `environment` (default
631`production`), `sha`, `task`, `description`, `payload`, `state`,
632`environment_url`, `log_url`), then
633`POST {repo}/deployments/{id}/statuses` with `state` (`queued`,
634`in_progress`, `success`, `failure`, `error`, `inactive`) and
635`environment_url` (`deployments:write`, Write role). A success makes the
636environment's older successful deployments `inactive` unless
637`auto_inactive: false`. Each status sets the commit check
638`deploy / <environment>`, which a ruleset's `required_deployments` rule can
639require. A g1t Actions job with `environment:` (or `{name, url}`) reports
640by itself, one deployment per run and environment; `deployment: false`
641opts out. MCP: the `workflow` tool's `list_deployments`, `get_deployment`,
642`create_deployment`, `deployment_statuses`, `create_deployment_status`,
643`list_environments`, `get_environment`. Webhooks: `deployment.created`,
644`deployment_status.created`. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/deployments-api/
645
646## Search
647
648`GET https://api.g1t.sh/search?q=<query>&type=<type>` (MCP: `search`, action `code`, the default)
649searches all of g1t: repositories (name, description, topics, README), code
650on default branches, issues, pull requests, people and workspaces. No token
651needed for public results; with one, private results the token's person
652can read are included (their workspaces' repositories, and those they were
653given a role on), checked against current membership and roles. `type` is
654`repositories`, `code`, `issues`, `pulls` or `people` (worked out from the
655qualifiers when left out); `page` and `per_page` (at most 50) page through.
656The query takes words, `"exact phrases"`, `-word` to leave out, and
657`repo:owner/name`, `org:<workspace>`, `language:<lang>`, `path:<prefix or
658*.glob>`, `is:issue`, `is:pr`, `is:open`, `is:closed`, `is:merged`,
659`author:<username>`, `label:<label>`. Code search matches any run of three
660characters or more; vendored directories, lockfiles, binaries and files
661over 512 KB are not indexed. Results give `counts` per type and each hit's
662`snippet` or code `lines` as parts with `highlight`. On the site:
663`https://g1t.sh/search?q=`, ⌘K, and `https://g1t.sh/explore` for public
664projects by activity, language (`?language=`) and topic (`?topic=`).
665The `search` tool's `context` action stays the search of one workspace's
666context hub. Guide:
667https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/search/
668
669## Facts
670
671- API base: `https://api.g1t.sh`. `GET /` lists the main URLs as templates;
672 every operation is in the OpenAPI document.
673 Auth: `Authorization: Bearer g1t_…`. Public data needs no token. Errors are
674 `{"error": {"code": "…", "message": "…"}}` with codes `unauthenticated`
675 (401), `payment_required` (402, when the plan or a limit refuses compute),
676 `forbidden` (403, with `needed_scope` when the token lacks a
677 scope), `not_found` (404), `conflict` (409), `invalid` (422). Each
678 operation's scope is `x-scope` in the OpenAPI document. The full description is at https://api.g1t.sh/openapi.json.
679- Git remote: `https://g1t.sh/{workspace}/{repo}.git`. In API paths,
680 `{owner}` is the workspace. Pull request forks:
681 `https://g1t.sh/pulls/{pull_request_id}.git`. SSH is not available.
682- Limits: 1 GB per repository, 32 MB per file, 100 MB per push. Every
683 current limit, why it exists and the workaround:
684 https://docs.g1t.sh/about/limitations/
685- Forgotten password: https://g1t.sh/forgot (the person does this, in a
686 browser).
687- Times are RFC 3339 in UTC.
688- OAuth 2.1 for applications: metadata at
689 `https://api.g1t.sh/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`; authorization
690 code with PKCE (S256), public clients, dynamic registration.
691- A pull request whose required checks have not passed (failed, still
692 running, or not reported yet) is refused a merge with `409`, saying
693 which; where the repository allows bypassing them
694 (`allow_ignoring_checks`), someone who can merge can send
695 `{"ignore_checks": true}`. Checks that are not required never hold a
696 merge. With the merge queue on, the workflows behind required checks
697 need `merge_group` in their `on:`.
698- Landing fast-forwards the default branch: g1t makes no merge commit on
699 main. Bringing a pull request up to date makes a merge commit on its own
700 branch.
701- Pricing (https://g1t.sh/pricing): the forge is free. One plan, g1t, at
702 $20 a month per workspace with unlimited members, includes $10 of usage
703 at cost + 20% (unused does not roll over). Compute needs the plan or a
704 card check (never charged); the $5 trial needs a credit or debit card,
705 not a prepaid one. No quotas on the plan: everything is metered from the
706 first unit at cost + 20%, and only the spend limit stops work. Every
707 workspace has 1 GB of private storage and 50,000 git operations a month
708 free; past them, the plan pays ($0.60/GB-month, $0.18/1,000) and a free
709 workspace is held (pushes to private repositories stop; git slowed to 60
710 an hour). Limits: $100 in a
711 paid workspace's first month, rising as payments clear; owners set a
712 spend limit, prepay, or ask with Raise my limit. Caps: $2 a run and $10
713 an issue by default. A spend spike pauses new compute until an owner
714 chooses Keep going or Stop (`/<workspace>/-/billing`). Audit log: 90 days
715 on every plan.
