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192 closes the other pull requests for that issue as superseded; send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

528## Deployments
529
530Part of the g1t plan ($20 a month per workspace, started by an owner
531under the workspace's Billing). No quotas: unlimited projects and
532previews (never charged); builds by the second, requests ($0.36/M), CPU
533($0.024/M ms) and custom domains ($0.12 a month each) metered from the
534first at cost + 20%, from the plan's $10 first. The trial
535never covers deployments. Then someone with admin on the repository
536turns deployments on for a project (Settings → Deployments, or Deploy on
537its overview). Production deploys from the default branch to
538`https://<project>-<owner>.g1t.page` on each push; every branch with an
539open pull request gets a preview at
540`https://<project>-git-<branch>-<owner>.g1t.page` (a fork's pull request is
541`pr-<n>`), shown on it as the check `g1t / deploy` (`g1t / deploy (<project>)`
542for a workspace's other projects). Builds and running apps
543read the project's secrets and variables available to Deployments, each
544key's Production or Preview row. Workers projects (`wrangler.jsonc`) and
545static sites build without configuration. Previews come down when the pull
546request closes and after idle days. There is no API for deployments yet.
547Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/deployments/
548
549## Search
550
551`GET https://api.g1t.sh/search?q=<query>&type=<type>` (MCP: `search`, action `code`, the default)
552searches all of g1t: repositories (name, description, topics, README), code
553on default branches, issues, pull requests, people and workspaces. No token
554needed for public results; with one, private results the token's person
555can read are included (their workspaces' repositories, and those they were
556given a role on), checked against current membership and roles. `type` is
557`repositories`, `code`, `issues`, `pulls` or `people` (worked out from the
558qualifiers when left out); `page` and `per_page` (at most 50) page through.
559The query takes words, `"exact phrases"`, `-word` to leave out, and
560`repo:owner/name`, `org:<workspace>`, `language:<lang>`, `path:<prefix or
561*.glob>`, `is:issue`, `is:pr`, `is:open`, `is:closed`, `is:merged`,
562`author:<username>`, `label:<label>`. Code search matches any run of three
563characters or more; vendored directories, lockfiles, binaries and files
564over 512 KB are not indexed. Results give `counts` per type and each hit's
565`snippet` or code `lines` as parts with `highlight`. On the site:
566`https://g1t.sh/search?q=`, ⌘K, and `https://g1t.sh/explore` for public
567projects by activity, language (`?language=`) and topic (`?topic=`).
568The `search` tool's `context` action stays the search of one workspace's
569context hub. Guide:
570https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/search/
571
572## Facts
573
574- API base: `https://api.g1t.sh`. `GET /` lists the main URLs as templates;
575 every operation is in the OpenAPI document.
576 Auth: `Authorization: Bearer g1t_…`. Public data needs no token. Errors are
577 `{"error": {"code": "…", "message": "…"}}` with codes `unauthenticated`
578 (401), `payment_required` (402, when the plan or a limit refuses compute),
579 `forbidden` (403, with `needed_scope` when the token lacks a
580 scope), `not_found` (404), `conflict` (409), `invalid` (422). Each
581 operation's scope is `x-scope` in the OpenAPI document. The full description is at https://api.g1t.sh/openapi.json.
582- Git remote: `https://g1t.sh/{workspace}/{repo}.git`. In API paths,
583 `{owner}` is the workspace. Pull request forks:
584 `https://g1t.sh/pulls/{pull_request_id}.git`. SSH is not available.
585- Limits: 1 GB per repository, 32 MB per file, 100 MB per push. Every
586 current limit, why it exists and the workaround:
587 https://docs.g1t.sh/about/limitations/
588- Forgotten password: https://g1t.sh/forgot (the person does this, in a
589 browser).
590- Times are RFC 3339 in UTC.
591- OAuth 2.1 for applications: metadata at
592 `https://api.g1t.sh/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`; authorization
593 code with PKCE (S256), public clients, dynamic registration.
594- A pull request whose required checks have not passed (failed, still
595 running, or not reported yet) is refused a merge with `409`, saying
596 which; where the repository allows bypassing them
597 (`allow_ignoring_checks`), someone who can merge can send
598 `{"ignore_checks": true}`. Checks that are not required never hold a
599 merge. With the merge queue on, the workflows behind required checks
600 need `merge_group` in their `on:`.
601- Landing fast-forwards the default branch: g1t makes no merge commit on
602 main. Bringing a pull request up to date makes a merge commit on its own
603 branch.
604- Pricing (https://g1t.sh/pricing): the forge is free. One plan, g1t, at
605 $20 a month per workspace with unlimited members, includes $10 of usage
606 at cost + 20% (unused does not roll over). Compute needs the plan or a
607 card check (never charged); the $5 trial needs a credit or debit card,
608 not a prepaid one. No quotas on the plan: everything is metered from the
609 first unit at cost + 20%, and only the spend limit stops work. Every
610 workspace has 1 GB of private storage and 50,000 git operations a month
611 free; past them, the plan pays ($0.60/GB-month, $0.18/1,000) and a free
612 workspace is held (pushes to private repositories stop; git slowed to 60
613 an hour). Limits: $100 in a
614 paid workspace's first month, rising as payments clear; owners set a
615 spend limit, prepay, or ask with Raise my limit. Caps: $2 a run and $10
616 an issue by default. A spend spike pauses new compute until an owner
617 chooses Keep going or Stop (`/<workspace>/-/billing`). Audit log: 90 days
618 on every plan.
