1# g1t
2
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/). An agent knows who is in each
8> conversation, and hands work to a colleague agent in the open: where they
9> both are, or in a group message with the person who asked; its @mentions
10> alone wake no one. Code is ordinary git over HTTPS, with
11> issues, pull requests and reviews. Agents are members of the forge: you
12> assign an issue to g1t or connect your own over MCP, or hand g1t an
13> outcome and a planner splits it into issues with dependencies that agents
14> work in parallel, aware of each other. A repository's workflows are its
15> checks, for people and agents alike; a merge queue lands each change on main only once it passes together with
16> everything ahead of it, and deployments put a preview of every pull
17> request and production on g1t.page. Each pull request lives in its own
18> fork and carries a recording of how it was made. The forge is free;
19> compute is priced at what it costs g1t plus 20%, never per seat.

21This file tells an assistant everything needed to get a person set up on g1t
22and working. You never ask for, see, or send the person's password. Accounts
23are created and approved only in their browser.
24
25## Set someone up
26
271. **Start a sign-in.**
28
29 ```sh
30 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/device/code \
31 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
32 -d '{"client_name": "Claude Code"}'
33 ```
34
35 The response has `device_code` (keep it; do not show it),
36 `user_code` (like `WDJB-MJHT`), `verification_uri_complete`, `interval`
37 and `expires_in`.
38
392. **Send the person to their browser.** Give them the
40 `verification_uri_complete` link and tell them the `user_code` they
41 should see there. On that page they sign in, or choose "Create an
42 account" if they are new, and then approve the request. Wait for them.
43
44 A new account confirms its email address first: g1t emails it a
45 six-digit code (and a link that does the same) from `noreply@g1t.sh`,
46 and the site keeps the person on its confirmation page until they enter
47 the code or follow the link. Only then can they approve your request.
48
493. **Collect the token.** Poll every `interval` seconds, not faster:
50
51 ```sh
52 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/device/token \
53 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
54 -d '{"device_code": "DEVICE_CODE"}'
55 ```
56
57 `{"status": "pending"}` means keep waiting. `denied` and `expired` mean
58 start again from step 1. `approved` comes with `token`, `username` and
59 `verified`. The token is returned once. It is the password for git and
60 the bearer token for the API and the MCP server. Store it as `G1T_TOKEN`;
61 never write it into a repository. Your person can see and delete it at
62 g1t.sh/settings/tokens. A token is only ever approved for a confirmed
63 account; if one answers `403` with a message saying to confirm the
64 email address, ask your person to enter the code from their email at
65 g1t.sh/confirm-email.
66
674. **Connect the MCP server** (any MCP client with HTTP transport works).
68 Claude Code:
69
70 ```sh
71 claude mcp add --transport http g1t https://mcp.g1t.sh \
72 --header "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN"
73 ```
74
75 Codex, in `~/.codex/config.toml`:
76
77 ```toml
78 [mcp_servers.g1t]
79 url = "https://mcp.g1t.sh"
80 bearer_token_env_var = "G1T_TOKEN"
81 ```
82
83 OpenCode, in `opencode.json`:
84
85 ```json
86 { "mcp": { "g1t": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://mcp.g1t.sh", "oauth": false,
87 "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer {env:G1T_TOKEN}" } } } }
88 ```
89
90 Cursor, in `.cursor/mcp.json`:
91
92 ```json
93 { "mcpServers": { "g1t": { "url": "https://mcp.g1t.sh",
94 "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:G1T_TOKEN}" } } } }
95 ```
96
97 Without the header, a client that supports MCP authorization signs the
98 person in through their browser instead (Claude Code: `/mcp`, then
99 choose g1t; Codex: `codex mcp login g1t`; OpenCode: `opencode mcp auth
100 g1t`; Cursor: when it first connects). The MCP server always needs one
101 or the other.
102
1035. **Create a workspace** if `GET /user` shows none. A workspace owns
104 repositories and is the first part of their address. Ask the person what
105 to call it; their username is a sensible default.
106
107 ```sh
108 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/workspaces \
109 -H "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
110 -d '{"slug": "WORKSPACE"}'
111 ```
112
1136. **Or import one.** `POST /repos` with `name` and
114 `import_url` (the https address of a public repository, such as one on
115 GitHub) copies its default branch.
116
1177. **Push a repository.** Pushing to a repository that does not exist, in a
118 workspace the person belongs to, creates it, public by default.
119
120 ```sh
121 git remote add g1t https://g1t.sh/WORKSPACE/REPO.git
122 git -c credential.helper= \
123 -c "http.extraHeader=Authorization: Basic $(printf '%s' "USERNAME:$G1T_TOKEN" | base64)" \
124 push -u g1t main
125 ```
126
127 Or let git ask: the username is the g1t username and the password is the
128 token.
129
1308. **Record Claude Code sessions automatically** (optional). This installs
131 hooks that record prompts, tool calls and replies onto the g1t pull
132 request for the branch being worked on. The person runs it, because it
133 signs them in through their browser:
134
135 ```sh
136 curl -fsSL https://g1t.sh/install/claude.sh | sh
137 ```
138
139## Do work
140
141Issues and pull requests are addressed by repository and number, and share
142one sequence of numbers: `#12` is one or the other. Below, `{repo}` stands
143for `/repos/{owner}/{name}`.
144
145- **Find work:** `GET {repo}/issues?state=open`, optionally `&label=bug`
146 or `&milestone=3`.
147- **Open an issue:** `POST {repo}/issues` with `title`, `body`, and
148 optional `labels` (the repository's, from `GET {repo}/labels`, such as
149 `bug` or `enhancement`; a new name makes a new label only for someone
150 with the Triage role) and `milestone` (a number from
151 `GET {repo}/milestones`). Say what done means in the body, under `## Definition of done`
152 if you like; it guides whoever does the work but never gates a merge.
153 The old `checks` field is deprecated: its commands are added to the body
154 under "Definition of done" and the response has a `deprecation` note.
155- **Read an issue:** `GET {repo}/issues/{number}`. It lists every pull
156 request already made for it. A closed issue's `resolved_by` is the number
157 of the pull request that was merged.
158- **Open a pull request:** `POST {repo}/pulls` with `issue` (its number) and
159 `agent` (a label such as `claude-code`). Without an issue, send `title`.
160 The response has `pull.number` and `git.remote`, the pull request's own
161 fork. Clone it, commit, and push to it with the token. It starts as a
162 draft. It merges into the default branch; send `base` only when asked
163 to target another branch. If the change is already on a branch pushed to the repository,
164 send `branch` (and `title`, `body`) instead: no fork is made and the pull
165 request is ready at once.
166- **Record the session** as you work, so people can see why a change was
167 made: `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/session` with
168 `{"entries": [{"kind": "message", "text": "…"}]}`. Kinds are `prompt`,
169 `message`, `tool_call`, `tool_result`, `note`. Never include secrets;
170 sessions are as visible as the repository.
171- **Mark it ready:** `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/ready` with `summary`, which
172 becomes the pull request's description.
173- **See what a pull request changes:** `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}/changes`.
174- **Before going far**, read `overlaps` on `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}`:
175 other pull requests in progress changing the same files. `behind` says
176 whether main has moved since; if so, pull main into the fork and push.
177- **Checks:** the repository's workflows (`.g1t/workflows`, GitHub Actions
178 syntax) run on every pull request's head, and each reports a check named
179 after the workflow, such as `CI`. Before you push, run the same tests and
180 linters those workflows run. `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}` returns
181 `statuses`, `required_checks` and `rules`: each check the branch it merges into
182 requires, as `success`, `failure`, `pending` or `expected` (not reported
183 yet). If one failed, read why with `GET {repo}/actions/runs/{id}` and
184 `GET {repo}/actions/jobs/{job}/logs`, push a fix, and the workflows run
185 again. `GET {repo}/commits/{ref}/check-runs` lists every check run on a
186 commit (each workflow job is one), and
187 `GET {repo}/check-runs/{id}/annotations` the lines a failing one points at.
188 `GET {repo}/check-names` lists the check names seen in the last
189 30 days. `rules.unmet` lists every rule of that branch not met yet, with
190 what to do; `GET {repo}/rules/branches/{branch}` lists every rule. Rules
191 hold for agents exactly as for people: a push that breaks one is refused
192 with the ruleset and rule named, so read the `remote:` lines and fix the
193 commits. `required_checks` on `PATCH {repo}/settings` sets which ones a
194 merge needs.
195- **Comment** on an issue or a pull request:
196 `POST {repo}/issues/{number}/comments` with `body`. On a pull request, add
197 `path` and `line` to comment on one line of the change.
198- **Review** someone else's pull request:
199 `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/reviews` with `verdict` (`approve` or
200 `request_changes`) and `body`.
201- **Merge** (the Write role or higher on the repository):
202 `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/merge`. This closes the issue it was for and
203 closes the other pull requests for that issue as superseded; send
204 `{"keep_issue_open": true}` if this is only part of the work. If main has
205 moved, g1t brings the pull request up to date and lands it when that is
206 done. A repository that requires pull requests to be up to date answers
207 `409` instead: pull main from `https://g1t.sh/{owner}/{name}.git` into the
208 fork, push, and merge again.
209 With the merge queue on, merging adds the pull request to the queue
210 instead; `GET {repo}/queue` shows it being tested with the pull requests
211 ahead of it, and it lands only if that combination passes.
212
213## Hand work to g1t
214
215Agents, workflows and the merge queue run on g1t's machines, so they
216need a paid workspace, or the one-time $5 trial after a card check.
217Deployments need the plan; the trial never covers them. Workflows and the merge queue on public repositories
218can also run from g1t's open-source pool, after the same card check.
219Agents never run from the pool. Workflow jobs with `runs-on: self-hosted`
220run on the workspace's own machines (`g1t-runner`, any OS) at $0, on every
221plan; a workspace can send agent work there too. Each workspace decides how its agents
222reach a model: its own provider (connected under Integrations, billed by
223the provider) or g1t's hosted models (while payments are in test mode,
224only for a few invited workspaces; a trial does not open them, and an
225agent assigned without a model is refused with `no_model`); the sandbox is g1t's unless the work goes to
226the workspace's own runners.
227When the plan refuses a start, these calls answer with a failure whose
228message says what to do and where (such as `/acme/-/billing`). When every
229agent slot of the workspace is busy, the message starts "Waiting for a
230free slot" and the work starts by itself when one finishes.
231
232- **Hand off an outcome:** `POST {repo}/plans` with `brief`: what should be
233 true when the work is done. A planner reads the repository and proposes
234 issues, each with what done means (`done`), the files it touches, and what it depends
235 on. Read it with `GET {repo}/plans/{plan}` until `status` is `ready`
236 (a minute or two), then `POST {repo}/plans/{plan}/apply` with
237 `{"assign": true}`. Agents start at once on every issue that depends on
238 nothing and on the rest as what they depend on lands. `keep` opens only
239 some of the issues, by position counting from 1.
240- **Assign one issue:** `POST {repo}/issues/{number}/assign`. The agent
241 opens a pull request, waits for the repository's workflows on it and is
242 sent back with the failing jobs' log tails when one fails, is reviewed by
243 a second agent, revises, and catches up when main moves. After its
244 revisions (`max_revisions`, 2 by default) only a required check still
245 failing holds it for a person. There is no model or
246 agent count to choose: to put more agents to work, assign more issues.
247 On g1t's hosted models, Auto routes each job to the cheapest of three
248 tiers that can do it, fast, standard and most capable (the model behind
249 each is today's, and moves to newer models as g1t adopts them; a
250 retired model is never used): catching up, answering, planning and
251 reviews of small changes that touch no sensitive path start fast;
252 making changes, revising and other reviews start standard; reviews of
253 very large changes and issues labelled
254 `architecture` start most capable. A failed attempt moves the next one
255 up a tier (two in a row: most capable), and a repository's own recent
256 runs move work down or up. Each run states its model and why in one
257 line, on the run and in the session. An owner can pin a tier per kind of
258 work instead (`PUT /workspaces/{workspace}/model-routes`, `model`
259 `small`, `large` or `frontier` with `connection_id` null).
260- **Who a g1t pull request is for:** g1t is the `author` (`username`
261 `g1t`, `kind` `agent`) of every pull request it makes and every issue it
262 files at work; `requested_by` is the person who asked (null when nobody
263 did, as for a security update). That person answers for it as an author
264 would: they may update, close and steer it without Triage, cannot
265 approve it, are never asked to review it, see it in their own lists, and
266 its sandboxes, workflows and previews are trusted as they are. Webhooks
267 carry `data.author` and `data.requested_by`; Actions payloads
268 `pull_request.user` (a `Bot`) and `pull_request.requested_by`.
269- **Put an agent on something in one step:** `POST {repo}/issues/delegate`
270 with `title` and `body` (what to do, in plain words, and what done
271 means if you know it). It opens the issue and assigns g1t at once; it needs the
272 Write role, and nothing opens without it. The issue opens even when the
273 agent cannot start: `agent.status` is `started` (with `pull`), `queued`,
274 or `not_started` with `agent.code` (`not_paid`, `trial_used`, `limit`,
275 `paused`, `issue_cap`, `billing_unavailable`, `no_model`), `agent.message`
276 and `agent.fix_url`.
277- **How sure g1t is of a change:** once g1t finishes, the pull
278 request's `confidence` is `high`, `medium` or `low` with short `reasons`
279 ("tests not added", "3 revisions"), from its required checks, revisions, review,
280 tests, size, reach, guardrails and unanswered questions. The agent's own
281 word (`self_reported`, `uncertain_about`) can only lower it. With the
282 repository setting `hold_low_confidence` on (the default), a change rated
283 low waits for a person's approval instead of merging by itself.
284- **Steer a working agent:** `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/messages` with
285 `body`. It reads the message at its next step.
286- **g1t's runs talk to each other.** g1t asks the agent on another
287 pull request a question, or hands it work, with `agent` `message`
288 (`kind` `question` or `handoff`, and `from_number`, its own pull
289 request). The other agent replies with `agent` `answer`
290 (`POST {repo}/messages/{id}/answer`); one that is not at work is woken
291 to answer, in its own pull request's sandbox. Plans show these exchanges under
292 "Agents talking". From any other caller, `agent` `message` sends a plain
293 message.
294
295Every one of these is also on the MCP server. Its tools are resources,
296each with an `action`: `search`, `repository`, `issue`, `pull_request`,
297`agent`, `plan`, `memory`, `workflow`, `secret`, `webhook`, `access`,
298`workspace`, `notifications`, `account` and `artifact`. Call `tools/call` with the tool's name and
299`arguments` holding `action` and its inputs, such as
300`{"name": "issue", "arguments": {"action": "get", "repo": "acme/web", "number": 12}}`.
301The flow above is: `issue` `get`, `memory` `recall`, `pull_request`
302`create` (with `issue`), push, `pull_request` `record_session` as you go,
303`pull_request` `ready` with `summary`; read `overlaps`, `behind`,
304`statuses` and `required_checks` on `pull_request` `get`, and
305`repository` `check_names` for the names a branch can require;
306`workflow` `list_check_runs` and `check_run_annotations` for what a
307commit's checks say. `agent` `delegate` and `agent` `assign` hand work
308to g1t's agent; `plan` `create`, `get` and `apply` plan an outcome;
309`memory` `remember` saves a fact. `notifications` reads and answers the
310notifications of the person a token acts for: `list` (unread threads, each with a
311`reason` such as `agent` or `review_requested`), `done`, `subscribe`,
312`watch` and more; g1t's own token cannot use it. `search` runs `code`,
313`notifications` runs `list` and `account` runs `whoami` when `action` is
314left out. `artifact` reads and writes a workspace's artifacts (its docs;
315slides, designs and dashboards later), never a workflow run's build
316artifacts, which are `workflow`'s: `list`, `search`, `get` (metadata),
317`read` (a doc's Markdown and block ids), `create`, `update`, `edit`
318(`markdown` and a `target`), `trash`, `restore`, `versions`,
319`restore_version`, `access`, `share`, `purge`, `templates`, `spaces`;
320name one by `artifact_id` (its `fol_…` id or link). It acts as the token's
321person, so it opens only what they can open; scopes `artifacts:read`,
322`artifacts:write` and `artifacts:admin`. Guide:
323https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/artifacts/. A call missing a required field says
324which, such as "issue.get needs number.". The earlier one-tool-per-operation
325names (`get_issue`, `create_pull_request`, …) still answer for now but are
326no longer listed. Every tool and action, with its required fields and
327scope: https://docs.g1t.sh/reference/mcp/
328
329g1t's own token can never change a repository's details, rename it
330or its branches, make it public or private, archive, transfer, delete,
331restore or purge it, or delete a workspace. MCP tools take the repository
332as `repo`, written `owner/name`.
333
334## Scopes
335
336Every access token and OAuth sign-in has scopes, `resource:level`:
337`repo`, `code`, `issues`, `pull_requests`, `workflows`, `checks`, `deployments`, `memory`,
338`account`, `notifications`, `access`, `webhooks`, `secrets`, `runners`, `models`, `artifacts` (read, write or admin
339as each has them), `agents:run`, `workspace:read` and `workspace:admin`. A higher
340level includes the lower. A token may expire. It reaches every workspace
341and repository its owner can (a workspace's token, that workspace only);
342what a call may do is the owner's role and the token's scopes together.
343A token sees only the MCP tools and actions its scopes allow. A missing scope answers `403` with
344`{"error": {"code": "forbidden", "message": "This access token needs the issues:write scope to use create_issue.", "needed_scope": "issues:write"}}`.
345Pushing needs `code:write`; cloning a private repository `code:read`.
346Pushing commits that add, change or delete files under `.g1t/workflows/`
347or `.github/workflows/` also needs `workflow_files:write` (in no preset
348but full access); a workflow job's token never has it. A fine-grained
349token reaches one workspace (or only its owner's account), all, chosen or
350only public repositories of it, with permissions (`contents`, `issues`,
351`workflows`, …) mapped to these scopes; a workspace may require an owner to approve one first. For
352an agent, use the Agent preset (every read scope but `runners:read`, plus `code:write`,
353`issues:write`, `pull_requests:write`, `agents:run`, `memory:write`,
354`notifications:write`). For CI, the CI preset (`repo:read`, `code:read`,
355`code:write`, `packages:read`, `packages:write`, `workflows:read`,
356`workflows:write`, `deployments:read`, `deployments:write`). `models:write` (sending requests through the AI
357Gateway, which spends AI credit) is in no preset but full access.
358OAuth clients may send `scope`;
359the person can untick any; asking for none gives the Agent preset. Tokens
360from device sign-in (above) have full access. Guide:
361https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/authentication/#scopes
362
363## AI Gateway
364
365Your own code can call models through g1t in either format, with a
366workspace access token with `models:write` as the API key (`x-api-key` or
367`Authorization: Bearer`):
368- Anthropic's Messages API at `https://models.g1t.sh/anthropic`:
369 `POST /v1/messages` (streamed or not), `POST /v1/messages/count_tokens`.
370- OpenAI's at `https://models.g1t.sh/openai/v1`: `POST /chat/completions`
371 (streamed or not, function tools, `response_format`, `reasoning_effort`),
372 `POST /embeddings`, `GET /models` (what the workspace can use, with g1t's
373 `pricing` per million tokens and `billed_to`).
374Any model works in either format; the proxy translates. Model ids:
375`anthropic/claude-haiku-5-5` (cheapest Claude; priced higher above 100,000
376prompt tokens), `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5`, `anthropic/claude-opus-5-5`,
377`anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5` (bare Claude ids work too), and open models on
378Workers AI such as `workers-ai/@cf/openai/gpt-oss-120b`,
379`workers-ai/@cf/zai-org/glm-5.3-flash`, and embeddings
380`workers-ai/@cf/baai/bge-m3`. Requests on g1t's models are charged at the
381model's list price (no markup in beta) from included usage and AI credit,
382never the agent rate. The workspace's own providers under Integrations (an
383Anthropic or OpenAI key, any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoint such
384as vLLM or Ollama) take the models listed in their `config.gateway_models`
385(ids or `prefix*`; `ns/*` strips `ns/`; Anthropic keys default to
386`claude-*`), come first, and are free on g1t, only counted. Set them with
387`connect_integration` or `update_integration` (`workspace:admin`); keys are
388write-only. Refusals are in the route's format: `402` (`billing_error` /
389`insufficient_quota`) when out of AI credit, over the spend limit or not on
390the plan; `403` without `models:write` or with a personal token; `404` for a
391model no provider offers; `400` on g1t's models for fast mode (`speed`),
392`inference_geo`, `fallbacks`, `container`, server tools or non-function

401## Access and roles
402
403Everyone's access to a repository is a role: `read` (read, clone, open
404issues and pull requests, comment), `triage` (also label, assign, close),
405`write` (also push, merge, and put agents to work: anything that spends
406compute), `maintain` (also settings, branch protection, guardrails) or
407`admin` (also webhooks, secrets, deployments, domains, who has access,
408rename, archive, visibility, default branch). Owners of a workspace have
409admin on all of its repositories and alone transfer or delete them;
410members get the workspace's base permission (write unless owners change
411it); anyone can be given a role on one repository, as an outside
412collaborator; anyone reads a public repository. The highest wins. A
413private repository you cannot read answers `404`; one you can read but
414lack the role for answers `403` naming the role needed. An agent works
415with the role of the person it acts for on its repository, never more
416than `write`, and its token can never change who has access. An outside
417collaborator with `write` can put agents to work; the runs are charged to
418the repository's workspace, and their agents are told the project's memory,
419never the workspace's. Who can do what elsewhere: deployments are seen with
420`read` (on a public repository, by anyone, build logs included), deployed
421with `write`, configured (settings, domains) with `admin`; project settings
422and dependencies need `maintain`; repository webhooks, secrets and
423variables need `admin`, seeing them included; security alerts need
424`write` (dismissing a dependency alert too), dismissing or reopening a
425secret alert `admin`, turning security updates on or off `maintain`;
426enabling or disabling a workflow needs `maintain`; plans and project memory
427are read by anyone who can read the repository, and project memory is
428changed with `write`; workspace memory is for members. Members: the
429workspace's Members and invites (`g1t.sh/<owner>/-/members`, with an
430Outside collaborators tab and the Base permission for owners); a repository's
431Settings → Access (`g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/settings/access`); invitations
432are answered at `g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/invitations`.
433`GET {repo}/collaborators/{username}/permission` gives a role and what it
434allows. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/access-and-roles/
435
436Teams group a workspace's members (`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/teams`;
437the `team` MCP tool). A team given a role on a repository gives it to
438everyone in it and its child teams, and `source` is then `team`.
439`@workspace/team` in a comment tells the team's people; a pull request can
440ask a team to review (`POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/requested_reviewers` with
441`team_reviewers`), and the team may pick who. Guide:
442https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/teams/
443
444A team can hold people, agents or both, with a lead, a Chat channel and a
445monthly budget its agents share. Every reply and session step, an agent is
446told each visible team it is on: who leads it, each person's title, what
447they own, who they report to, whether they are around and their local
448time, and who to ask when a person is needed. Ask the person who owns
449something before guessing. The directory of people and agents is
450`g1t.sh/<owner>/-/people`, profiles `-/people/<username>` and
451`-/people/agents/<handle>`, the org chart `-/org-chart`. Guide:
452https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/people-and-teams/
453
454A CODEOWNERS file (`.g1t/CODEOWNERS`, `.github/CODEOWNERS`, `CODEOWNERS`,
455`docs/CODEOWNERS` or `.gitlab/CODEOWNERS`, the first found on the default
456branch) asks owners to review pull requests that change their files. With
457`require_code_owner_review` on (`PATCH {repo}/settings`), a merge waits for
458their approval; `code_owners` on `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}` says whose is
459missing, and `GET {repo}/codeowners/errors` checks the file. Guide:
460https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/codeowners/
461
462## Manage a repository
463
464People with the admin role rename it (`POST {repo}/rename` with `name`; the
465old address redirects), make it public or private
466(`POST {repo}/visibility` with `private` and its full name in `confirm`),
467archive or unarchive it (`POST {repo}/archive`, `POST {repo}/unarchive`),
468and owners of its workspace delete it (`DELETE {repo}` with its full name
469in `confirm`). A deleted
470repository can be restored for 30 days (`POST {repo}/restore`, listed by
471`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/repos/deleted`) and is then purged; its name
472stays taken until then, or until `POST {repo}/purge`. Maintain changes the
473description, `website` and `topics` with `PATCH {repo}`, admin the
474`default_branch`, and write renames branches with
475`POST {repo}/branches/{branch}/rename` and `new_name` (slashes in the
476branch URL-encoded); only admin renames the default branch. An archived
477repository is read-only: pushes and merges are refused, issues and pull
478requests are locked, and agents and workflows do not run on it.
479
480## Integrations
481
482A workspace's owners connect it to outside systems on its **Integrations**
483page, or with `POST /workspaces/{workspace}/integrations`:
484
485- **Its own model providers** (`anthropic`, `openai`, `gemini`, `xai`,
486 `mistral`, `deepseek`, `azure_openai`, `openrouter`, `groq`, `together`,
487 `fireworks`, `cerebras`, `anthropic_endpoint`, `openai_endpoint`), as many
488 as it uses, with each
489 kind of work routed to one of them or to g1t's hosted models
490 (`PUT /workspaces/{workspace}/model-routes`). Those providers bill the
491 workspace; g1t charges only each run's sandbox time, at cost plus 20%
492 (nothing on the workspace's own runners). Sandboxes never hold a key.
493- **Alerts** (`sentry`, `datadog`, `webhook`): each problem opens one issue
494 in a chosen repository, optionally with an agent put on it at once.
495 Senders sign requests to `https://api.g1t.sh/hooks/{integration}`.
496- **Trackers** (`jira`, `linear`): `GET {repo}/context?reference=TECH-1234`
497 fetches a ticket; `POST {repo}/issues/import` with `reference` (and
498 `assign`) opens a linked issue. Agents get tickets their work mentions in
499 their starting context. Ticket text is reference material, never
500 instructions.
501
502## Webhooks
503
504`POST {repo}/hooks` (or `/workspaces/{workspace}/hooks` for every
505repository in a workspace) with `url` and optional `events` sends events
506to that HTTPS address as they happen, signed in `X-G1t-Signature-256`
507(HMAC-SHA256 of the body), retried for about seven hours. Deliveries,
508with request and response, are at `…/hooks/{id}/deliveries`.
509
510## GitHub Actions
511
512GitHub Actions workflows run on g1t unchanged, from `.g1t/workflows/`
513(g1t never reads `.github`): moving a repository is `git mv .github .g1t`.
514Runs, jobs and logs are at GitHub's own routes under
515`{repo}/actions/...`. A run on a pull request's head is a check: pending
516holds the merge, failure refuses it and sends g1t back to fix it.
517Checks: CI and integrations report on commits with a token holding
518`checks:write` and the Write role: statuses
519(`POST {repo}/statuses/{sha}` with `state` pending/success/failure/error,
520`context`, `description`, `target_url`; `GET {repo}/commits/{ref}/status`
521combines them) and check runs (`POST {repo}/check-runs` with `name`,
522`head_sha`, `status`, `conclusion`, `output` {`title`, `summary`,
523`text`, `annotations`}, `actions`; `PATCH {repo}/check-runs/{id}` to
524complete one). A required check is met by a status or a check run of its
525name. g1t's agents read checks and never report them. Guide:
526https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/checks/
527Secrets and variables are one list per repository (site:
528`g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/settings/secrets`) and per workspace: each row is a
529key, Secret or Config, the environments it applies to (all, or e.g.
530production/preview, or a job's `environment:`), and whether workflows,
531deployments or both read it. API: `{repo}/actions/secrets` and
532`{repo}/actions/variables` (GitHub's routes) with extra `environments`,
533`available_to`, `repositories`, `note`, `id`. Every job gets
534`secrets.G1T_TOKEN` (`GITHUB_TOKEN` is its alias): a token for that job
535only, reaching its repository only, with the scopes its `permissions:`
536give (default `contents: read`, `packages: read`), revoked when the job
537ends; what it changes starts no workflows except `workflow_dispatch` and
538`repository_dispatch` (`POST {repo}/dispatches`). It cannot change
539secrets. A job naming an environment with protection rules (required
540reviewers, wait timer, branch limits; `PUT {repo}/environments/{name}`)
541waits until they pass, and reviewers approve it at
542`POST {repo}/actions/runs/{id}/pending_deployments`. A pull request's
543runs from outside may wait as `action_required` until someone with Write
544approves them (`POST {repo}/actions/runs/{id}/approve`); agents cannot
545approve runs or deployments. A pull request's runs and preview are trusted
546only when its author has `write` or higher on the repository (a member or
547an outside collaborator), or is g1t working on its own; for one g1t made,
548the role of whoever asked for it (`requested_by`) counts. Anyone else's run
549with config only. Guide:
550https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/secrets-and-variables/
551
552Self-hosted runners: a job with `runs-on: self-hosted` (or
553`[self-hosted, linux, gpu]`, or `{group: name}`) waits until a runner of the
554workspace's with every label takes it. Owners add one under
555`g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/runners`: a one-hour registration token, then
556`g1t-runner register --url https://g1t.sh --token g1trt_…` and
557`g1t-runner run`. Runners only connect out. API:
558`/workspaces/{workspace}/actions/runners`, `.../runner-groups`,
559`.../runner-settings` (and the same under `{repo}/actions/` for a
560repository's own); MCP: the `workflow` tool's `list_runners`,
561`create_runner_token`, `remove_runner`, runner group and settings actions
562(`runners:read`/`runners:admin`). Pull requests from forks never run on them
563unless allowed. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/self-hosted-runners/
564
565## Projects
566
567A project is what a workspace builds and runs; every repository is a
568project of its own name (`g1t.sh/<owner>/<project>` opens its overview; its
569code is under `/code`; every repository address still works). Deployments,
570secrets and variables belong to the project; branches, pull requests,
571review and merge rules to its repository (Settings → Repository). Guide:
572https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/projects/
573
574## Security
575
576A push that adds a known key or token format (AWS, GitHub, GitLab, Stripe
577live, Slack tokens and webhooks, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, npm, g1t,
578SendGrid, PEM private keys, service-role JWTs) is refused with every secret
579listed by `file:line` in git's output and a link to allow it; this includes
580an agent's push to its pull request. A very large push is scanned after it
581lands, not before: it goes through, its new commits (any branch) are
582scanned in the background, and a secret found is an open alert, emailed to
583the workspace's owners when it looks real. History is scanned once in the
584background. Never commit a secret: read it from the environment. Values are
585judged by the value alone, never the file's path: a documented example key,
586a value containing example/sample/dummy/fake/placeholder/changeme/notreal/
587redacted/xxxxx, one that counts up (six or more, like 123456), one
588character five or more times, a repeated short piece, or too little
589randomness is a "likely test value": listed apart, never blocks a push,
590never counted critical. Any other fixture carries `g1t:allow-secret` in a
591comment on its line. Alerts are `open`, `dismissed` or `fixed`. Dismissing a
592secret alert needs `admin`, with a reason (`false_positive`,
593`used_in_tests`, `wont_fix`: dismissed, and pushes carrying it go through;
594`revoked`: fixed) and an optional comment (500 characters); a dependency
595alert needs `write` (`fix_started`, `no_bandwidth`, `tolerable_risk`,
596`inaccurate`, `not_used`). Reopen undoes it. API:
597`GET {repo}/security/alerts` (`state`, `kind`),
598`POST {repo}/security/alerts/{id}/dismiss` (`reason`, `comment`),
599`POST {repo}/security/alerts/{id}/reopen`; MCP `repository` actions
600`security_alerts`, `dismiss_alert`, `reopen_alert` (`repo:read` to list,
601`repo:admin` to dismiss or reopen). Lockfiles (npm, pnpm, yarn, Cargo, Go,
602Python) on the default branch are checked against OSV on every push to it
603and daily. Security updates (on by default; `maintain` turns them off): for
604each vulnerable dependency with a fix, g1t itself opens a pull request
605authored by `g1t` from `g1t/security/<package>-<version>`, raising the
606version in each lockfile with the ecosystem's own tool; it merges through
607the branch's required checks and merge queue. A newer update for the same
608package, or the package no longer being vulnerable, closes it as
609superseded. Only when the bump fails, or required checks fail because code
610must change, does g1t open an issue and assign it to g1t (the session
611shows "started by g1t"). With no fix published, the alert links the
612advisory and is checked again daily. `.g1t/dependencies.yml` (version
613updates) is read and validated, but no version update pull requests are
614opened yet. `g1t` is not an account and cannot be signed in to.
615Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/security/
616
617The security suite (scopes `security:read`, `security:write`; MCP tool
618`security`). A push refused for a secret links to its alert, where anyone
619with `write` bypasses it with a reason (`false_positive`, `used_in_tests`,
620`will_fix_later`), or asks owners when the workspace delegates bypasses;
621an agent never bypasses: take the secret out and push again. Code
622scanning: upload SARIF 2.1.0 to `POST {repo}/code-scanning/sarifs`
623(`commit_sha`, `ref`, `sarif` gzipped then base64); default-branch results
624become alerts, pull request results (`refs/pull/<n>/head`) become line
625comments and the `Code scanning` status. `Dependency review` is a status on
626every pull request that changes a lockfile. Fix what either reports in your
627own pull request; both can be required checks. Also: custom patterns,
628validity checks, `GET {repo}/dependency-graph/sbom` (SPDX 2.3, in `sbom`),
629`GET {repo}/dependency-graph/compare/{base...head}`, and a workspace
630overview. On private repositories these need the Security and quality
631activation (`402` without it); public repositories have them free.

635
636## Deployments
637
638Part of the g1t plan ($20 a month per workspace, started by an owner
639under the workspace's Billing). No quotas: unlimited projects and
640previews (never charged); builds by the second, requests ($0.36/M), CPU
641($0.024/M ms) and custom domains ($0.12 a month each) metered from the
642first at cost + 20%, from the plan's $10 first. The trial
643never covers deployments. Then someone with admin on the repository
644turns deployments on for a project (Settings → Deployments, or Deploy on
645its overview). Production deploys from the default branch to
646`https://<project>-<owner>.g1t.page` on each push; every branch with an
647open pull request gets a preview at
648`https://<project>-git-<branch>-<owner>.g1t.page` (a fork's pull request is
649`pr-<n>`), shown on it as the check `g1t / deploy` (`g1t / deploy (<project>)`
650for a workspace's other projects). Builds and running apps
651read the project's secrets and variables available to Deployments, each
652key's Production or Preview row. Workers projects (`wrangler.jsonc`) and
653static sites build without configuration. Previews come down when the pull
654request closes and after idle days.
655Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/deployments/
656
657A repository's deployments, wherever they run, are one list: `source` is
658`api` (reported from any CI), `actions` (a g1t Actions job with
659`environment:`) or `g1t_page` (g1t.page builds, ids `dpl_…`, environments
660`production` and `preview`). Read with `GET {repo}/deployments` (filters
661`environment`, `ref`, `sha`, `task`, `state`, `source`, `creator`, `page`,
662`per_page`), `GET {repo}/deployments/{id}`, `GET {repo}/deployments/{id}/statuses`,
663`GET {repo}/environments` and `GET {repo}/environments/{environment}`
664(`deployments:read`, Read role). Report from a CI with
665`POST {repo}/deployments` (`ref`, optional `environment` (default
666`production`), `sha`, `task`, `description`, `payload`, `state`,
667`environment_url`, `log_url`), then
668`POST {repo}/deployments/{id}/statuses` with `state` (`queued`,
669`in_progress`, `success`, `failure`, `error`, `inactive`) and
670`environment_url` (`deployments:write`, Write role). A success makes the
671environment's older successful deployments `inactive` unless
672`auto_inactive: false`. Each status sets the commit check
673`deploy / <environment>`, which a ruleset's `required_deployments` rule can
674require. A g1t Actions job with `environment:` (or `{name, url}`) reports
675by itself, one deployment per run and environment; `deployment: false`
676opts out. MCP: the `workflow` tool's `list_deployments`, `get_deployment`,
677`create_deployment`, `deployment_statuses`, `create_deployment_status`,
678`list_environments`, `get_environment`. Webhooks: `deployment.created`,
679`deployment_status.created`. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/deployments-api/
680
681## Search
682
683`GET https://api.g1t.sh/search?q=<query>&type=<type>` (MCP: `search`, action `code`, the default)
684searches all of g1t: repositories (name, description, topics, README), code
685on default branches, issues, pull requests, people and workspaces. No token
686needed for public results; with one, private results the token's person
687can read are included (their workspaces' repositories, and those they were
688given a role on), checked against current membership and roles. `type` is
689`repositories`, `code`, `issues`, `pulls` or `people` (worked out from the
690qualifiers when left out); `page` and `per_page` (at most 50) page through.
691The query takes words, `"exact phrases"`, `-word` to leave out, and
692`repo:owner/name`, `org:<workspace>`, `language:<lang>`, `path:<prefix or
693*.glob>`, `is:issue`, `is:pr`, `is:open`, `is:closed`, `is:merged`,
694`author:<username>`, `label:<label>`. Code search matches any run of three
695characters or more; vendored directories, lockfiles, binaries and files
696over 512 KB are not indexed. Results give `counts` per type and each hit's
697`snippet` or code `lines` as parts with `highlight`. On the site:
698`https://g1t.sh/search?q=`, ⌘K, and `https://g1t.sh/explore` for public
699projects by activity, language (`?language=`) and topic (`?topic=`).
700The `search` tool's `context` action stays the search of one workspace's
701context hub. Guide:
702https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/search/
703
704## Facts
705
706- API base: `https://api.g1t.sh`. `GET /` lists the main URLs as templates;
707 every operation is in the OpenAPI document.
708 Auth: `Authorization: Bearer g1t_…`. Public data needs no token. Errors are
709 `{"error": {"code": "…", "message": "…"}}` with codes `unauthenticated`
710 (401), `payment_required` (402, when the plan or a limit refuses compute),
711 `forbidden` (403, with `needed_scope` when the token lacks a
712 scope), `not_found` (404), `conflict` (409), `invalid` (422),
713 `rate_limited` (429, with `Retry-After`: 1,000 requests a minute per
714 token, 60 per IP address without one; wait, then retry). Each
715 operation's scope is `x-scope` in the OpenAPI document. The full description is at https://api.g1t.sh/openapi.json.
716- Git remote: `https://g1t.sh/{workspace}/{repo}.git`. In API paths,
717 `{owner}` is the workspace. Pull request forks:
718 `https://g1t.sh/pulls/{pull_request_id}.git`. SSH is not available.
719- Limits: 1 GB per repository, 32 MB per file, 100 MB per push. Every
720 current limit, why it exists and the workaround:
721 https://docs.g1t.sh/about/limitations/
722- Forgotten password: https://g1t.sh/forgot (the person does this, in a
723 browser).
724- Times are RFC 3339 in UTC.
725- OAuth 2.1 for applications: metadata at
726 `https://api.g1t.sh/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`; authorization
727 code with PKCE (S256), public clients, dynamic registration.
728- A pull request whose required checks have not passed (failed, still
729 running, or not reported yet) is refused a merge with `409`, saying
730 which; where the repository allows bypassing them
731 (`allow_ignoring_checks`), someone who can merge can send
732 `{"ignore_checks": true}`. Checks that are not required never hold a
733 merge. With the merge queue on, the workflows behind required checks
734 need `merge_group` in their `on:`.
735- Landing fast-forwards the default branch: g1t makes no merge commit on
736 main. Bringing a pull request up to date makes a merge commit on its own
737 branch.
738- Pricing (https://g1t.sh/pricing): the forge is free. One plan, g1t, at
739 $20 a month per workspace with unlimited members, includes $10 of usage
740 at cost + 20% (unused does not roll over). Compute needs the plan or a
741 card check (never charged); the $5 trial needs a credit or debit card,
742 not a prepaid one. No quotas on the plan: everything is metered from the
743 first unit at cost + 20%, and only the spend limit stops work. Every
744 workspace has 1 GB of private storage and 50,000 git operations a month
745 free; past them, the plan pays ($0.60/GB-month, $0.18/1,000) and a free
746 workspace is held (pushes to private repositories stop; git slowed to 60
747 an hour). Limits: $100 in a
748 paid workspace's first month, rising as payments clear; owners set a
749 spend limit, prepay, or ask with Raise my limit. Caps: $2 a run and $10
750 an issue by default. A spend spike pauses new compute until an owner
751 chooses Keep going or Stop (`/<workspace>/-/billing`). Audit log: 90 days
752 on every plan.
