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` and `required_checks`: each check the default branch
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}/check-names` lists the check names seen in the last
178 30 days; `required_checks` on `PATCH {repo}/settings` sets which ones a
179 merge needs.
180- **Comment** on an issue or a pull request:
181 `POST {repo}/issues/{number}/comments` with `body`. On a pull request, add
182 `path` and `line` to comment on one line of the change.
183- **Review** someone else's pull request:
184 `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/reviews` with `verdict` (`approve` or
185 `request_changes`) and `body`.
186- **Merge** (the Write role or higher on the repository):
187 `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/merge`. This closes the issue it was for and
188 closes the other pull requests for that issue as superseded; send
189 `{"keep_issue_open": true}` if this is only part of the work. If main has
190 moved, g1t brings the pull request up to date and lands it when that is
191 done. A repository that requires pull requests to be up to date answers
192 `409` instead: pull main from `https://g1t.sh/{owner}/{name}.git` into the
193 fork, push, and merge again.
194 With the merge queue on, merging adds the pull request to the queue
195 instead; `GET {repo}/queue` shows it being tested with the pull requests
196 ahead of it, and it lands only if that combination passes.
197
198## Hand work to g1t
199
200Agents, workflows and the merge queue run on g1t's machines, so they
201need a paid workspace, or the one-time $5 trial after a card check.
202Deployments need the plan; the trial never covers them. Workflows and the merge queue on public repositories
203can also run from g1t's open-source pool, after the same card check.
204Agents never run from the pool. Workflow jobs with `runs-on: self-hosted`
205run on the workspace's own machines (`g1t-runner`, any OS) at $0, on every
206plan; a workspace can send agent work there too. Each workspace decides how its agents
207reach a model: its own provider (connected under Integrations, billed by
208the provider) or g1t's hosted models (while payments are in test mode,
209only for a few invited workspaces; a trial does not open them, and an
210agent assigned without a model is refused with `no_model`); the sandbox is g1t's unless the work goes to
211the workspace's own runners.
212When the plan refuses a start, these calls answer with a failure whose
213message says what to do and where (such as `/acme/-/billing`). When every
214agent slot of the workspace is busy, the message starts "Waiting for a
215free slot" and the work starts by itself when one finishes.
216
217- **Hand off an outcome:** `POST {repo}/plans` with `brief`: what should be
218 true when the work is done. A planner reads the repository and proposes
219 issues, each with what done means (`done`), the files it touches, and what it depends
220 on. Read it with `GET {repo}/plans/{plan}` until `status` is `ready`
221 (a minute or two), then `POST {repo}/plans/{plan}/apply` with
222 `{"assign": true}`. Agents start at once on every issue that depends on
223 nothing and on the rest as what they depend on lands. `keep` opens only
224 some of the issues, by position counting from 1.
225- **Assign one issue:** `POST {repo}/issues/{number}/assign`. The agent
226 opens a pull request, waits for the repository's workflows on it and is
227 sent back with the failing jobs' log tails when one fails, is reviewed by
228 a second agent, revises, and catches up when main moves. After its
229 revisions (`max_revisions`, 2 by default) only a required check still
230 failing holds it for a person. There is no model or
231 agent count to choose: to put more agents to work, assign more issues.
232 On g1t's hosted models, Auto routes each job to the cheapest of three
233 tiers that can do it, fast, standard and most capable: catching up,
234 answering and reviews of small changes that touch no sensitive path
235 start fast; making changes, revising, planning and other reviews start
236 standard; reviews of very large changes and issues labelled
237 `architecture` start most capable. A failed attempt moves the next one
238 up a tier (two in a row: most capable), and a repository's own recent
239 runs move work down or up. Each run states its model and why in one
240 line, on the run and in the session. An owner can pin a tier per kind of
241 work instead (`PUT /workspaces/{workspace}/model-routes`, `model`
242 `small`, `large` or `frontier` with `connection_id` null).
243- **Who a g1t pull request is for:** g1t is the `author` (`username`
244 `g1t`, `kind` `agent`) of every pull request it makes and every issue it
245 files at work; `requested_by` is the person who asked (null when nobody
246 did, as for a security update). That person answers for it as an author
247 would: they may update, close and steer it without Triage, cannot
248 approve it, are never asked to review it, see it in their own lists, and
249 its sandboxes, workflows and previews are trusted as they are. Webhooks
250 carry `data.author` and `data.requested_by`; Actions payloads
251 `pull_request.user` (a `Bot`) and `pull_request.requested_by`.
252- **Put an agent on something in one step:** `POST {repo}/issues/delegate`
253 with `title` and `body` (what to do, in plain words, and what done
254 means if you know it). It opens the issue and assigns g1t at once; it needs the
255 Write role, and nothing opens without it. The issue opens even when the
256 agent cannot start: `agent.status` is `started` (with `pull`), `queued`,
257 or `not_started` with `agent.code` (`not_paid`, `trial_used`, `limit`,
258 `paused`, `issue_cap`, `billing_unavailable`, `no_model`), `agent.message`
259 and `agent.fix_url`.
260- **How sure g1t is of a change:** once g1t finishes, the pull
261 request's `confidence` is `high`, `medium` or `low` with short `reasons`
262 ("tests not added", "3 revisions"), from its required checks, revisions, review,
263 tests, size, reach, guardrails and unanswered questions. The agent's own
264 word (`self_reported`, `uncertain_about`) can only lower it. With the
265 repository setting `hold_low_confidence` on (the default), a change rated
266 low waits for a person's approval instead of merging by itself.
267- **Steer a working agent:** `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/messages` with
268 `body`. It reads the message at its next step.
269- **g1t's runs talk to each other.** g1t asks the agent on another
270 pull request a question, or hands it work, with `agent` `message`
271 (`kind` `question` or `handoff`, and `from_number`, its own pull
272 request). The other agent replies with `agent` `answer`
273 (`POST {repo}/messages/{id}/answer`); one that is not at work is woken
274 to answer, in its own pull request's sandbox. Plans show these exchanges under
275 "Agents talking". From any other caller, `agent` `message` sends a plain
276 message.
277
278Every one of these is also on the MCP server. Its tools are resources,
279each with an `action`: `search`, `repository`, `issue`, `pull_request`,
280`agent`, `plan`, `memory`, `workflow`, `secret`, `webhook`, `access`,
281`workspace`, `notifications` and `account`. Call `tools/call` with the tool's name and
282`arguments` holding `action` and its inputs, such as
283`{"name": "issue", "arguments": {"action": "get", "repo": "acme/web", "number": 12}}`.
284The flow above is: `issue` `get`, `memory` `recall`, `pull_request`
285`create` (with `issue`), push, `pull_request` `record_session` as you go,
286`pull_request` `ready` with `summary`; read `overlaps`, `behind`,
287`statuses` and `required_checks` on `pull_request` `get`, and
288`repository` `check_names` for the names a branch can require. `agent` `delegate` and `agent` `assign` hand work
289to g1t's agent; `plan` `create`, `get` and `apply` plan an outcome;
290`memory` `remember` saves a fact. `notifications` reads and answers the
291inbox of the person a token acts for: `list` (unread threads, each with a
292`reason` such as `agent` or `review_requested`), `done`, `subscribe`,
293`watch` and more; g1t's own token cannot use it. `search` runs `code`,
294`notifications` runs `list` and `account` runs `whoami` when `action` is
295left out. A call missing a required field says
296which, such as "issue.get needs number.". The earlier one-tool-per-operation
297names (`get_issue`, `create_pull_request`, …) still answer for now but are
298no longer listed. Every tool and action, with its required fields and
299scope: https://docs.g1t.sh/reference/mcp/
300
301g1t's own token can never change a repository's details, rename it
302or its branches, make it public or private, archive, transfer, delete,
303restore or purge it, or delete a workspace. MCP tools take the repository
304as `repo`, written `owner/name`.
305
306## Scopes
307
308Every access token and OAuth sign-in has scopes, `resource:level`:
309`repo`, `code`, `issues`, `pull_requests`, `workflows`, `memory`,
310`account`, `notifications`, `access`, `webhooks`, `secrets`, `runners`, `models` (read, write or admin
311as each has them), `agents:run`, `workspace:read` and `workspace:admin`. A higher
312level includes the lower. A token may expire. It reaches every workspace
313and repository its owner can (a workspace's token, that workspace only);
314what a call may do is the owner's role and the token's scopes together.
315A token sees only the MCP tools and actions its scopes allow. A missing scope answers `403` with
316`{"error": {"code": "forbidden", "message": "This access token needs the issues:write scope to use create_issue.", "needed_scope": "issues:write"}}`.
317Pushing needs `code:write`; cloning a private repository `code:read`. For
318an agent, use the Agent preset (every read scope but `runners:read`, plus `code:write`,
319`issues:write`, `pull_requests:write`, `agents:run`, `memory:write`,
320`notifications:write`). `models:write` (sending requests through the AI
321Gateway, which spends AI credit) is in no preset but full access.
322OAuth clients may send `scope`;
323the person can untick any; asking for none gives the Agent preset. Tokens
324from device sign-in (above) have full access. Guide:
325https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/authentication/#scopes
326
327## AI Gateway
328
329Your own code can call models through g1t: base URL
330`https://models.g1t.sh/anthropic`, API key a workspace access token with
331`models:write` (as `x-api-key` or `Authorization: Bearer`). It serves
332Anthropic's Messages API as it is: `POST /v1/messages` (streamed or not)
333and `POST /v1/messages/count_tokens`. Models: `claude-opus-5-5`,
334`claude-sonnet-5-5`, `claude-haiku-4-5`. Each request is charged at the
335model's list price (no markup in beta) from included usage and AI credit,
336never the agent rate; on the workspace's own Anthropic key under
337Integrations it is free and only counted. Refusals are Anthropic-shaped:
338`402 billing_error` when out of AI credit, over the spend limit or not on
339the plan; `403 permission_error` without `models:write` or with a personal
340token; `400 invalid_request_error` for a model not offered, or on g1t's
341models for fast mode (`speed`), `inference_geo`, `fallbacks`, `container`
342or server tools such as web search (all fine on the workspace's own key). For Claude
343Code: `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://models.g1t.sh/anthropic` and
344`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=g1t_…`. The log (30 days, no prompts):
345`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/gateway/requests` or the `billing` tool's
346`gateway_requests` action, with `models:read`. OpenAI's format and open
347models come later. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/ai-gateway/
348
349## Access and roles
350
351Everyone's access to a repository is a role: `read` (read, clone, open
352issues and pull requests, comment), `triage` (also label, assign, close),
353`write` (also push, merge, and put agents to work: anything that spends
354compute), `maintain` (also settings, branch protection, guardrails) or
355`admin` (also webhooks, secrets, deployments, domains, who has access,
356rename, archive, visibility, default branch). Owners of a workspace have
357admin on all of its repositories and alone transfer or delete them;
358members get the workspace's base permission (write unless owners change
359it); anyone can be given a role on one repository, as an outside
360collaborator; anyone reads a public repository. The highest wins. A
361private repository you cannot read answers `404`; one you can read but
362lack the role for answers `403` naming the role needed. An agent works
363with the role of the person it acts for on its repository, never more
364than `write`, and its token can never change who has access. An outside
365collaborator with `write` can put agents to work; the runs are charged to
366the repository's workspace, and their agents are told the project's memory,
367never the workspace's. Who can do what elsewhere: deployments are seen with
368`read` (on a public repository, by anyone, build logs included), deployed
369with `write`, configured (settings, domains) with `admin`; project settings
370and dependencies need `maintain`; repository webhooks, secrets and
371variables need `admin`, seeing them included; security alerts need
372`write` (dismissing a dependency alert too), dismissing or reopening a
373secret alert `admin`, turning security updates on or off `maintain`;
374enabling or disabling a workflow needs `maintain`; plans and project memory
375are read by anyone who can read the repository, and project memory is
376changed with `write`; workspace memory is for members. People: the
377workspace's Settings → Members (`g1t.sh/<owner>/-/people`, with an Outside
378collaborators tab and the Base permission for owners); a repository's
379Settings → Access (`g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/settings/access`); invitations
380are answered at `g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/invitations`.
381`GET {repo}/collaborators/{username}/permission` gives a role and what it
382allows. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/access-and-roles/
383
384Teams group a workspace's members (`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/teams`;
385the `team` MCP tool). A team given a role on a repository gives it to
386everyone in it and its child teams, and `source` is then `team`.
387`@workspace/team` in a comment tells the team's people; a pull request can
388ask a team to review (`POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/requested_reviewers` with
389`team_reviewers`), and the team may pick who. Guide:
390https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/teams/
391
392A CODEOWNERS file (`.g1t/CODEOWNERS`, `.github/CODEOWNERS`, `CODEOWNERS`,
393`docs/CODEOWNERS` or `.gitlab/CODEOWNERS`, the first found on the default
394branch) asks owners to review pull requests that change their files. With
395`require_code_owner_review` on (`PATCH {repo}/settings`), a merge waits for
396their approval; `code_owners` on `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}` says whose is
397missing, and `GET {repo}/codeowners/errors` checks the file. Guide:
398https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/codeowners/
399
400## Manage a repository
401
402People with the admin role rename it (`POST {repo}/rename` with `name`; the
403old address redirects), make it public or private
404(`POST {repo}/visibility` with `private` and its full name in `confirm`),
405archive or unarchive it (`POST {repo}/archive`, `POST {repo}/unarchive`),
406and owners of its workspace delete it (`DELETE {repo}` with its full name
407in `confirm`). A deleted
408repository can be restored for 30 days (`POST {repo}/restore`, listed by
409`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/repos/deleted`) and is then purged; its name
410stays taken until then, or until `POST {repo}/purge`. Maintain changes the
411description, `website` and `topics` with `PATCH {repo}`, admin the
412`default_branch`, and write renames branches with
413`POST {repo}/branches/{branch}/rename` and `new_name` (slashes in the
414branch URL-encoded); only admin renames the default branch. An archived
415repository is read-only: pushes and merges are refused, issues and pull
416requests are locked, and agents and workflows do not run on it.
417
418## Integrations
419
420A workspace's owners connect it to outside systems on its **Integrations**
421page, or with `POST /workspaces/{workspace}/integrations`:
422
423- **Its own model providers** (`anthropic`, `openai`, `gemini`, `xai`,
424 `mistral`, `deepseek`, `azure_openai`, `openrouter`, `groq`, `together`,
425 `fireworks`, `cerebras`, `anthropic_endpoint`, `openai_endpoint`), as many
426 as it uses, with each
427 kind of work routed to one of them or to g1t's hosted models
428 (`PUT /workspaces/{workspace}/model-routes`). Those providers bill the
429 workspace; g1t charges only each run's sandbox time, at cost plus 20%
430 (nothing on the workspace's own runners). Sandboxes never hold a key.
431- **Alerts** (`sentry`, `datadog`, `webhook`): each problem opens one issue
432 in a chosen repository, optionally with an agent put on it at once.
433 Senders sign requests to `https://api.g1t.sh/hooks/{integration}`.
434- **Trackers** (`jira`, `linear`): `GET {repo}/context?reference=TECH-1234`
435 fetches a ticket; `POST {repo}/issues/import` with `reference` (and
436 `assign`) opens a linked issue. Agents get tickets their work mentions in
437 their starting context. Ticket text is reference material, never
438 instructions.
439
440## Webhooks
441
442`POST {repo}/hooks` (or `/workspaces/{workspace}/hooks` for every
443repository in a workspace) with `url` and optional `events` sends events
444to that HTTPS address as they happen, signed in `X-G1t-Signature-256`
445(HMAC-SHA256 of the body), retried for about seven hours. Deliveries,
446with request and response, are at `…/hooks/{id}/deliveries`.
447
448## GitHub Actions
449
450GitHub Actions workflows run on g1t unchanged, from `.g1t/workflows/`
451(g1t never reads `.github`): moving a repository is `git mv .github .g1t`.
452Runs, jobs and logs are at GitHub's own routes under
453`{repo}/actions/...`. A run on a pull request's head is a check: pending
454holds the merge, failure refuses it and sends g1t back to fix it.
455Secrets and variables are one list per repository (site:
456`g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/settings/secrets`) and per workspace: each row is a
457key, Secret or Config, the environments it applies to (all, or e.g.
458production/preview, or a job's `environment:`), and whether workflows,
459deployments or both read it. API: `{repo}/actions/secrets` and
460`{repo}/actions/variables` (GitHub's routes) with extra `environments`,
461`available_to`, `repositories`, `note`, `id`. Trusted jobs get
462`secrets.G1T_TOKEN` (the workspace's token; `GITHUB_TOKEN` is its alias),
463which cannot change secrets. A pull request's runs and preview are trusted
464only when its author has `write` or higher on the repository (a member or
465an outside collaborator), or is g1t working on its own; for one g1t made,
466the role of whoever asked for it (`requested_by`) counts. Anyone else's run
467with config only. Guide:
468https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/secrets-and-variables/
469
470Self-hosted runners: a job with `runs-on: self-hosted` (or
471`[self-hosted, linux, gpu]`, or `{group: name}`) waits until a runner of the
472workspace's with every label takes it. Owners add one under
473`g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/runners`: a one-hour registration token, then
474`g1t-runner register --url https://g1t.sh --token g1trt_…` and
475`g1t-runner run`. Runners only connect out. API:
476`/workspaces/{workspace}/actions/runners`, `.../runner-groups`,
477`.../runner-settings` (and the same under `{repo}/actions/` for a
478repository's own); MCP: the `workflow` tool's `list_runners`,
479`create_runner_token`, `remove_runner`, runner group and settings actions
480(`runners:read`/`runners:admin`). Pull requests from forks never run on them
481unless allowed. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/self-hosted-runners/
482
483## Projects
484
485A project is what a workspace builds and runs; every repository is a
486project of its own name (`g1t.sh/<owner>/<project>` opens its overview; its
487code is under `/code`; every repository address still works). Deployments,
488secrets and variables belong to the project; branches, pull requests,
489review and merge rules to its repository (Settings → Repository). Guide:
490https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/projects/
491
492## Security
493
494A push that adds a known key or token format (AWS, GitHub, GitLab, Stripe
495live, Slack tokens and webhooks, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, npm, g1t,
496SendGrid, PEM private keys, service-role JWTs) is refused with every secret
497listed by `file:line` in git's output and a link to allow it; this includes
498an agent's push to its pull request. A very large push is scanned after it
499lands, not before: it goes through, its new commits (any branch) are
500scanned in the background, and a secret found is an open alert, emailed to
501the workspace's owners when it looks real. History is scanned once in the
502background. Never commit a secret: read it from the environment. Values are
503judged by the value alone, never the file's path: a documented example key,
504a value containing example/sample/dummy/fake/placeholder/changeme/notreal/
505redacted/xxxxx, one that counts up (six or more, like 123456), one
506character five or more times, a repeated short piece, or too little
507randomness is a "likely test value": listed apart, never blocks a push,
508never counted critical. Any other fixture carries `g1t:allow-secret` in a
509comment on its line. Alerts are `open`, `dismissed` or `fixed`. Dismissing a
510secret alert needs `admin`, with a reason (`false_positive`,
511`used_in_tests`, `wont_fix`: dismissed, and pushes carrying it go through;
512`revoked`: fixed) and an optional comment (500 characters); a dependency
513alert needs `write` (`fix_started`, `no_bandwidth`, `tolerable_risk`,
514`inaccurate`, `not_used`). Reopen undoes it. API:
515`GET {repo}/security/alerts` (`state`, `kind`),
516`POST {repo}/security/alerts/{id}/dismiss` (`reason`, `comment`),
517`POST {repo}/security/alerts/{id}/reopen`; MCP `repository` actions
518`security_alerts`, `dismiss_alert`, `reopen_alert` (`repo:read` to list,
519`repo:admin` to dismiss or reopen). Lockfiles (npm, pnpm, yarn, Cargo, Go,
520Python) on the default branch are checked against OSV on every push to it
521and daily. Security updates (on by default; `maintain` turns them off): for
522each vulnerable dependency with a fix, g1t itself opens a pull request
523authored by `g1t` from `g1t/security/<package>-<version>`, raising the
524version in each lockfile with the ecosystem's own tool; it merges through
525the branch's required checks and merge queue. A newer update for the same
526package, or the package no longer being vulnerable, closes it as
527superseded. Only when the bump fails, or required checks fail because code
528must change, does g1t open an issue and assign it to g1t (the session
529shows "started by g1t"). With no fix published, the alert links the
530advisory and is checked again daily. `.g1t/dependencies.yml` (version
531updates) is read and validated, but no version update pull requests are
532opened yet. `g1t` is not an account and cannot be signed in to.
533Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/security/
534
535The security suite (scopes `security:read`, `security:write`; MCP tool
536`security`). A push refused for a secret links to its alert, where anyone
537with `write` bypasses it with a reason (`false_positive`, `used_in_tests`,
538`will_fix_later`), or asks owners when the workspace delegates bypasses;
539an agent never bypasses: take the secret out and push again. Code
540scanning: upload SARIF 2.1.0 to `POST {repo}/code-scanning/sarifs`
541(`commit_sha`, `ref`, `sarif` gzipped then base64); default-branch results
542become alerts, pull request results (`refs/pull/<n>/head`) become line
543comments and the `Code scanning` status. `Dependency review` is a status on
544every pull request that changes a lockfile. Fix what either reports in your
545own pull request; both can be required checks. Also: custom patterns,
546validity checks, `GET {repo}/dependency-graph/sbom` (SPDX 2.3, in `sbom`),
547`GET {repo}/dependency-graph/compare/{base...head}`, and a workspace
548overview. On private repositories these need the Security and quality
549activation (`402` without it); public repositories have them free.

553
554## Deployments
555
556Part of the g1t plan ($20 a month per workspace, started by an owner
557under the workspace's Billing). No quotas: unlimited projects and
558previews (never charged); builds by the second, requests ($0.36/M), CPU
559($0.024/M ms) and custom domains ($0.12 a month each) metered from the
560first at cost + 20%, from the plan's $10 first. The trial
561never covers deployments. Then someone with admin on the repository
562turns deployments on for a project (Settings → Deployments, or Deploy on
563its overview). Production deploys from the default branch to
564`https://<project>-<owner>.g1t.page` on each push; every branch with an
565open pull request gets a preview at
566`https://<project>-git-<branch>-<owner>.g1t.page` (a fork's pull request is
567`pr-<n>`), shown on it as the check `g1t / deploy` (`g1t / deploy (<project>)`
568for a workspace's other projects). Builds and running apps
569read the project's secrets and variables available to Deployments, each
570key's Production or Preview row. Workers projects (`wrangler.jsonc`) and
571static sites build without configuration. Previews come down when the pull
572request closes and after idle days. There is no API for deployments yet.
573Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/deployments/
574
575## Search
576
577`GET https://api.g1t.sh/search?q=<query>&type=<type>` (MCP: `search`, action `code`, the default)
578searches all of g1t: repositories (name, description, topics, README), code
579on default branches, issues, pull requests, people and workspaces. No token
580needed for public results; with one, private results the token's person
581can read are included (their workspaces' repositories, and those they were
582given a role on), checked against current membership and roles. `type` is
583`repositories`, `code`, `issues`, `pulls` or `people` (worked out from the
584qualifiers when left out); `page` and `per_page` (at most 50) page through.
585The query takes words, `"exact phrases"`, `-word` to leave out, and
586`repo:owner/name`, `org:<workspace>`, `language:<lang>`, `path:<prefix or
587*.glob>`, `is:issue`, `is:pr`, `is:open`, `is:closed`, `is:merged`,
588`author:<username>`, `label:<label>`. Code search matches any run of three
589characters or more; vendored directories, lockfiles, binaries and files
590over 512 KB are not indexed. Results give `counts` per type and each hit's
591`snippet` or code `lines` as parts with `highlight`. On the site:
592`https://g1t.sh/search?q=`, ⌘K, and `https://g1t.sh/explore` for public
593projects by activity, language (`?language=`) and topic (`?topic=`).
594The `search` tool's `context` action stays the search of one workspace's
595context hub. Guide:
596https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/search/

598## Facts
599
600- API base: `https://api.g1t.sh`. `GET /` lists the main URLs as templates;
601 every operation is in the OpenAPI document.
602 Auth: `Authorization: Bearer g1t_…`. Public data needs no token. Errors are
603 `{"error": {"code": "…", "message": "…"}}` with codes `unauthenticated`
604 (401), `payment_required` (402, when the plan or a limit refuses compute),
605 `forbidden` (403, with `needed_scope` when the token lacks a
606 scope), `not_found` (404), `conflict` (409), `invalid` (422). Each
607 operation's scope is `x-scope` in the OpenAPI document. The full description is at https://api.g1t.sh/openapi.json.
608- Git remote: `https://g1t.sh/{workspace}/{repo}.git`. In API paths,
609 `{owner}` is the workspace. Pull request forks:
610 `https://g1t.sh/pulls/{pull_request_id}.git`. SSH is not available.
611- Limits: 1 GB per repository, 32 MB per file, 100 MB per push. Every
612 current limit, why it exists and the workaround:
613 https://docs.g1t.sh/about/limitations/
614- Forgotten password: https://g1t.sh/forgot (the person does this, in a
615 browser).
616- Times are RFC 3339 in UTC.
617- OAuth 2.1 for applications: metadata at
618 `https://api.g1t.sh/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`; authorization
619 code with PKCE (S256), public clients, dynamic registration.
620- A pull request whose required checks have not passed (failed, still
621 running, or not reported yet) is refused a merge with `409`, saying
622 which; where the repository allows bypassing them
623 (`allow_ignoring_checks`), someone who can merge can send
624 `{"ignore_checks": true}`. Checks that are not required never hold a
625 merge. With the merge queue on, the workflows behind required checks
626 need `merge_group` in their `on:`.
627- Landing fast-forwards the default branch: g1t makes no merge commit on
628 main. Bringing a pull request up to date makes a merge commit on its own
629 branch.
630- Pricing (https://g1t.sh/pricing): the forge is free. One plan, g1t, at
631 $20 a month per workspace with unlimited members, includes $10 of usage
632 at cost + 20% (unused does not roll over). Compute needs the plan or a
633 card check (never charged); the $5 trial needs a credit or debit card,
634 not a prepaid one. No quotas on the plan: everything is metered from the
635 first unit at cost + 20%, and only the spend limit stops work. Every
636 workspace has 1 GB of private storage and 50,000 git operations a month
637 free; past them, the plan pays ($0.60/GB-month, $0.18/1,000) and a free
638 workspace is held (pushes to private repositories stop; git slowed to 60
639 an hour). Limits: $100 in a
640 paid workspace's first month, rising as payments clear; owners set a
641 spend limit, prepay, or ask with Raise my limit. Caps: $2 a run and $10
642 an issue by default. A spend spike pauses new compute until an owner
643 chooses Keep going or Stop (`/<workspace>/-/billing`). Audit log: 90 days
644 on every plan.
