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

15This file tells an assistant everything needed to get a person set up on g1t
16and working. You never ask for, see, or send the person's password. Accounts
17are created and approved only in their browser.
18
19## Set someone up
20
211. **Start a sign-in.**
22
23 ```sh
24 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/device/code \
25 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
26 -d '{"client_name": "Claude Code"}'
27 ```
28
29 The response has `device_code` (keep it; do not show it),
30 `user_code` (like `WDJB-MJHT`), `verification_uri_complete`, `interval`
31 and `expires_in`.
32
332. **Send the person to their browser.** Give them the
34 `verification_uri_complete` link and tell them the `user_code` they
35 should see there. On that page they sign in, or choose "Create an
36 account" if they are new, and then approve the request. Wait for them.
37
38 A new account also gets a confirmation email from `noreply@g1t.sh`. Ask
39 them to open it and follow the link. Until they do, the account cannot
40 create repositories, push, or open issues: those calls return `403`
41 with a message saying to confirm the address.
42
433. **Collect the token.** Poll every `interval` seconds, not faster:
44
45 ```sh
46 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/device/token \
47 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
48 -d '{"device_code": "DEVICE_CODE"}'
49 ```
50
51 `{"status": "pending"}` means keep waiting. `denied` and `expired` mean
52 start again from step 1. `approved` comes with `token`, `username` and
53 `verified`. The token is returned once. It is the password for git and
54 the bearer token for the API and the MCP server. Store it as `G1T_TOKEN`;
55 never write it into a repository. Your person can see and delete it at
56 g1t.sh/settings/tokens. If `verified` is `false`, the
57 confirmation email has not been followed yet.
58
594. **Connect the MCP server** (any MCP client with HTTP transport works).
60 Claude Code:
61
62 ```sh
63 claude mcp add --transport http g1t https://mcp.g1t.sh \
64 --header "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN"
65 ```
66
67 Codex, in `~/.codex/config.toml`:
68
69 ```toml
70 [mcp_servers.g1t]
71 url = "https://mcp.g1t.sh"
72 bearer_token_env_var = "G1T_TOKEN"
73 ```
74
75 OpenCode, in `opencode.json`:
76
77 ```json
78 { "mcp": { "g1t": { "type": "remote", "url": "https://mcp.g1t.sh", "oauth": false,
79 "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer {env:G1T_TOKEN}" } } } }
80 ```
81
82 Cursor, in `.cursor/mcp.json`:
83
84 ```json
85 { "mcpServers": { "g1t": { "url": "https://mcp.g1t.sh",
86 "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${env:G1T_TOKEN}" } } } }
87 ```
88
89 Without the header, a client that supports MCP authorization signs the
90 person in through their browser instead (Claude Code: `/mcp`, then
91 choose g1t; Codex: `codex mcp login g1t`; OpenCode: `opencode mcp auth
92 g1t`; Cursor: when it first connects). The MCP server always needs one
93 or the other.
94
955. **Create a workspace** if `GET /user` shows none. A workspace owns
96 repositories and is the first part of their address. Ask the person what
97 to call it; their username is a sensible default.
98
99 ```sh
100 curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/workspaces \
101 -H "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
102 -d '{"slug": "WORKSPACE"}'
103 ```
104
1056. **Or import one.** `POST /repos` with `name` and
106 `import_url` (the https address of a public repository, such as one on
107 GitHub) copies its default branch.
108
1097. **Push a repository.** Pushing to a repository that does not exist, in a
110 workspace the person belongs to, creates it, public by default.
111
112 ```sh
113 git remote add g1t https://g1t.sh/WORKSPACE/REPO.git
114 git -c credential.helper= \
115 -c "http.extraHeader=Authorization: Basic $(printf '%s' "USERNAME:$G1T_TOKEN" | base64)" \
116 push -u g1t main
117 ```
118
119 Or let git ask: the username is the g1t username and the password is the
120 token.
121
1228. **Record Claude Code sessions automatically** (optional). This installs
123 hooks that record prompts, tool calls and replies onto the g1t pull
124 request for the branch being worked on. The person runs it, because it
125 signs them in through their browser:
126
127 ```sh
128 curl -fsSL https://g1t.sh/install/claude.sh | sh
129 ```
130
131## Do work
132
133Issues and pull requests are addressed by repository and number, and share
134one sequence of numbers: `#12` is one or the other. Below, `{repo}` stands
135for `/repos/{owner}/{name}`.
136
137- **Find work:** `GET {repo}/issues?state=open`, optionally `&label=bug`
138 or `&milestone=3`.
139- **Open an issue:** `POST {repo}/issues` with `title`, `body`, and
140 optional `labels` (the repository's, from `GET {repo}/labels`, such as
141 `bug` or `enhancement`; a new name makes a new label only for someone
142 with the Triage role) and `milestone` (a number from
143 `GET {repo}/milestones`). Say what done means in the body, under `## Definition of done`
144 if you like; it guides whoever does the work but never gates a merge.
145 The old `checks` field is deprecated: its commands are added to the body
146 under "Definition of done" and the response has a `deprecation` note.
147- **Read an issue:** `GET {repo}/issues/{number}`. It lists every pull
148 request already made for it. A closed issue's `resolved_by` is the number
149 of the pull request that was merged.
150- **Open a pull request:** `POST {repo}/pulls` with `issue` (its number) and
151 `agent` (a label such as `claude-code`). Without an issue, send `title`.
152 The response has `pull.number` and `git.remote`, the pull request's own
153 fork. Clone it, commit, and push to it with the token. It starts as a
154 draft. It merges into the default branch; send `base` only when asked
155 to target another branch. If the change is already on a branch pushed to the repository,
156 send `branch` (and `title`, `body`) instead: no fork is made and the pull
157 request is ready at once.
158- **Record the session** as you work, so people can see why a change was
159 made: `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/session` with
160 `{"entries": [{"kind": "message", "text": "…"}]}`. Kinds are `prompt`,
161 `message`, `tool_call`, `tool_result`, `note`. Never include secrets;
162 sessions are as visible as the repository.
163- **Mark it ready:** `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/ready` with `summary`, which
164 becomes the pull request's description.
165- **See what a pull request changes:** `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}/changes`.
166- **Before going far**, read `overlaps` on `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}`:
167 other pull requests in progress changing the same files. `behind` says
168 whether main has moved since; if so, pull main into the fork and push.
169- **Checks:** the repository's workflows (`.g1t/workflows`, GitHub Actions
170 syntax) run on every pull request's head, and each reports a check named
171 after the workflow, such as `CI`. Before you push, run the same tests and
172 linters those workflows run. `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}` returns
173 `statuses`, `required_checks` and `rules`: each check the branch it merges into
174 requires, as `success`, `failure`, `pending` or `expected` (not reported
175 yet). If one failed, read why with `GET {repo}/actions/runs/{id}` and
176 `GET {repo}/actions/jobs/{job}/logs`, push a fix, and the workflows run
177 again. `GET {repo}/commits/{ref}/check-runs` lists every check run on a
178 commit (each workflow job is one), and
179 `GET {repo}/check-runs/{id}/annotations` the lines a failing one points at.
180 `GET {repo}/check-names` lists the check names seen in the last
181 30 days. `rules.unmet` lists every rule of that branch not met yet, with
182 what to do; `GET {repo}/rules/branches/{branch}` lists every rule. Rules
183 hold for agents exactly as for people: a push that breaks one is refused
184 with the ruleset and rule named, so read the `remote:` lines and fix the
185 commits. `required_checks` on `PATCH {repo}/settings` sets which ones a
186 merge needs.
187- **Comment** on an issue or a pull request:
188 `POST {repo}/issues/{number}/comments` with `body`. On a pull request, add
189 `path` and `line` to comment on one line of the change.
190- **Review** someone else's pull request:
191 `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/reviews` with `verdict` (`approve` or
192 `request_changes`) and `body`.
193- **Merge** (the Write role or higher on the repository):
194 `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/merge`. This closes the issue it was for and
195 closes the other pull requests for that issue as superseded; send
196 `{"keep_issue_open": true}` if this is only part of the work. If main has
197 moved, g1t brings the pull request up to date and lands it when that is
198 done. A repository that requires pull requests to be up to date answers
199 `409` instead: pull main from `https://g1t.sh/{owner}/{name}.git` into the
200 fork, push, and merge again.
201 With the merge queue on, merging adds the pull request to the queue
202 instead; `GET {repo}/queue` shows it being tested with the pull requests
203 ahead of it, and it lands only if that combination passes.
204
205## Hand work to g1t
206
207Agents, workflows and the merge queue run on g1t's machines, so they
208need a paid workspace, or the one-time $5 trial after a card check.
209Deployments need the plan; the trial never covers them. Workflows and the merge queue on public repositories
210can also run from g1t's open-source pool, after the same card check.
211Agents never run from the pool. Workflow jobs with `runs-on: self-hosted`
212run on the workspace's own machines (`g1t-runner`, any OS) at $0, on every
213plan; a workspace can send agent work there too. Each workspace decides how its agents
214reach a model: its own provider (connected under Integrations, billed by
215the provider) or g1t's hosted models (while payments are in test mode,
216only for a few invited workspaces; a trial does not open them, and an
217agent assigned without a model is refused with `no_model`); the sandbox is g1t's unless the work goes to
218the workspace's own runners.
219When the plan refuses a start, these calls answer with a failure whose
220message says what to do and where (such as `/acme/-/billing`). When every
221agent slot of the workspace is busy, the message starts "Waiting for a
222free slot" and the work starts by itself when one finishes.
223
224- **Hand off an outcome:** `POST {repo}/plans` with `brief`: what should be
225 true when the work is done. A planner reads the repository and proposes
226 issues, each with what done means (`done`), the files it touches, and what it depends
227 on. Read it with `GET {repo}/plans/{plan}` until `status` is `ready`
228 (a minute or two), then `POST {repo}/plans/{plan}/apply` with
229 `{"assign": true}`. Agents start at once on every issue that depends on
230 nothing and on the rest as what they depend on lands. `keep` opens only
231 some of the issues, by position counting from 1.
232- **Assign one issue:** `POST {repo}/issues/{number}/assign`. The agent
233 opens a pull request, waits for the repository's workflows on it and is
234 sent back with the failing jobs' log tails when one fails, is reviewed by
235 a second agent, revises, and catches up when main moves. After its
236 revisions (`max_revisions`, 2 by default) only a required check still
237 failing holds it for a person. There is no model or
238 agent count to choose: to put more agents to work, assign more issues.
239 On g1t's hosted models, Auto routes each job to the cheapest of three
240 tiers that can do it, fast, standard and most capable (the model behind
241 each is today's, and moves to newer models as g1t adopts them; a
242 retired model is never used): catching up, answering, planning and
243 reviews of small changes that touch no sensitive path start fast;
244 making changes, revising and other reviews start standard; reviews of
245 very large changes and issues labelled
246 `architecture` start most capable. A failed attempt moves the next one
247 up a tier (two in a row: most capable), and a repository's own recent
248 runs move work down or up. Each run states its model and why in one
249 line, on the run and in the session. An owner can pin a tier per kind of
250 work instead (`PUT /workspaces/{workspace}/model-routes`, `model`
251 `small`, `large` or `frontier` with `connection_id` null).
252- **Who a g1t pull request is for:** g1t is the `author` (`username`
253 `g1t`, `kind` `agent`) of every pull request it makes and every issue it
254 files at work; `requested_by` is the person who asked (null when nobody
255 did, as for a security update). That person answers for it as an author
256 would: they may update, close and steer it without Triage, cannot
257 approve it, are never asked to review it, see it in their own lists, and
258 its sandboxes, workflows and previews are trusted as they are. Webhooks
259 carry `data.author` and `data.requested_by`; Actions payloads
260 `pull_request.user` (a `Bot`) and `pull_request.requested_by`.
261- **Put an agent on something in one step:** `POST {repo}/issues/delegate`
262 with `title` and `body` (what to do, in plain words, and what done
263 means if you know it). It opens the issue and assigns g1t at once; it needs the
264 Write role, and nothing opens without it. The issue opens even when the
265 agent cannot start: `agent.status` is `started` (with `pull`), `queued`,
266 or `not_started` with `agent.code` (`not_paid`, `trial_used`, `limit`,
267 `paused`, `issue_cap`, `billing_unavailable`, `no_model`), `agent.message`
268 and `agent.fix_url`.
269- **How sure g1t is of a change:** once g1t finishes, the pull
270 request's `confidence` is `high`, `medium` or `low` with short `reasons`
271 ("tests not added", "3 revisions"), from its required checks, revisions, review,
272 tests, size, reach, guardrails and unanswered questions. The agent's own
273 word (`self_reported`, `uncertain_about`) can only lower it. With the
274 repository setting `hold_low_confidence` on (the default), a change rated
275 low waits for a person's approval instead of merging by itself.
276- **Steer a working agent:** `POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/messages` with
277 `body`. It reads the message at its next step.
278- **g1t's runs talk to each other.** g1t asks the agent on another
279 pull request a question, or hands it work, with `agent` `message`
280 (`kind` `question` or `handoff`, and `from_number`, its own pull
281 request). The other agent replies with `agent` `answer`
282 (`POST {repo}/messages/{id}/answer`); one that is not at work is woken
283 to answer, in its own pull request's sandbox. Plans show these exchanges under
284 "Agents talking". From any other caller, `agent` `message` sends a plain
285 message.
286
287Every one of these is also on the MCP server. Its tools are resources,
288each with an `action`: `search`, `repository`, `issue`, `pull_request`,
289`agent`, `plan`, `memory`, `workflow`, `secret`, `webhook`, `access`,
290`workspace`, `notifications` and `account`. Call `tools/call` with the tool's name and
291`arguments` holding `action` and its inputs, such as
292`{"name": "issue", "arguments": {"action": "get", "repo": "acme/web", "number": 12}}`.
293The flow above is: `issue` `get`, `memory` `recall`, `pull_request`
294`create` (with `issue`), push, `pull_request` `record_session` as you go,
295`pull_request` `ready` with `summary`; read `overlaps`, `behind`,
296`statuses` and `required_checks` on `pull_request` `get`, and
297`repository` `check_names` for the names a branch can require;
298`workflow` `list_check_runs` and `check_run_annotations` for what a
299commit's checks say. `agent` `delegate` and `agent` `assign` hand work
300to g1t's agent; `plan` `create`, `get` and `apply` plan an outcome;
301`memory` `remember` saves a fact. `notifications` reads and answers the
302inbox of the person a token acts for: `list` (unread threads, each with a
303`reason` such as `agent` or `review_requested`), `done`, `subscribe`,
304`watch` and more; g1t's own token cannot use it. `search` runs `code`,
305`notifications` runs `list` and `account` runs `whoami` when `action` is
306left out. A call missing a required field says
307which, such as "issue.get needs number.". The earlier one-tool-per-operation
308names (`get_issue`, `create_pull_request`, …) still answer for now but are
309no longer listed. Every tool and action, with its required fields and
310scope: https://docs.g1t.sh/reference/mcp/
311
312g1t's own token can never change a repository's details, rename it
313or its branches, make it public or private, archive, transfer, delete,
314restore or purge it, or delete a workspace. MCP tools take the repository
315as `repo`, written `owner/name`.
316
317## Scopes
318
319Every access token and OAuth sign-in has scopes, `resource:level`:
320`repo`, `code`, `issues`, `pull_requests`, `workflows`, `checks`, `deployments`, `memory`,
321`account`, `notifications`, `access`, `webhooks`, `secrets`, `runners`, `models` (read, write or admin
322as each has them), `agents:run`, `workspace:read` and `workspace:admin`. A higher
323level includes the lower. A token may expire. It reaches every workspace
324and repository its owner can (a workspace's token, that workspace only);
325what a call may do is the owner's role and the token's scopes together.
326A token sees only the MCP tools and actions its scopes allow. A missing scope answers `403` with
327`{"error": {"code": "forbidden", "message": "This access token needs the issues:write scope to use create_issue.", "needed_scope": "issues:write"}}`.
328Pushing needs `code:write`; cloning a private repository `code:read`.
329Pushing commits that add, change or delete files under `.g1t/workflows/`
330or `.github/workflows/` also needs `workflow_files:write` (in no preset
331but full access); a workflow job's token never has it. A fine-grained
332token reaches one workspace (or only its owner's account), all, chosen or
333only public repositories of it, with permissions (`contents`, `issues`,
334`workflows`, …) mapped to these scopes; a workspace may require an owner to approve one first. For
335an agent, use the Agent preset (every read scope but `runners:read`, plus `code:write`,
336`issues:write`, `pull_requests:write`, `agents:run`, `memory:write`,
337`notifications:write`). For CI, the CI preset (`repo:read`, `code:read`,
338`code:write`, `packages:read`, `packages:write`, `workflows:read`,
339`workflows:write`, `deployments:read`, `deployments:write`). `models:write` (sending requests through the AI
340Gateway, which spends AI credit) is in no preset but full access.
341OAuth clients may send `scope`;
342the person can untick any; asking for none gives the Agent preset. Tokens
343from device sign-in (above) have full access. Guide:
344https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/authentication/#scopes
345
346## AI Gateway
347
348Your own code can call models through g1t in either format, with a
349workspace access token with `models:write` as the API key (`x-api-key` or
350`Authorization: Bearer`):
351- Anthropic's Messages API at `https://models.g1t.sh/anthropic`:
352 `POST /v1/messages` (streamed or not), `POST /v1/messages/count_tokens`.
353- OpenAI's at `https://models.g1t.sh/openai/v1`: `POST /chat/completions`
354 (streamed or not, function tools, `response_format`, `reasoning_effort`),
355 `POST /embeddings`, `GET /models` (what the workspace can use, with g1t's
356 `pricing` per million tokens and `billed_to`).
357Any model works in either format; the proxy translates. Model ids:
358`anthropic/claude-haiku-5-5` (cheapest Claude; priced higher above 100,000
359prompt tokens), `anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5`, `anthropic/claude-opus-5-5`,
360`anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5` (bare Claude ids work too), and open models on
361Workers AI such as `workers-ai/@cf/openai/gpt-oss-120b`,
362`workers-ai/@cf/zai-org/glm-5.3-flash`, and embeddings
363`workers-ai/@cf/baai/bge-m3`. Requests on g1t's models are charged at the
364model's list price (no markup in beta) from included usage and AI credit,
365never the agent rate. The workspace's own providers under Integrations (an
366Anthropic or OpenAI key, any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible endpoint such
367as vLLM or Ollama) take the models listed in their `config.gateway_models`
368(ids or `prefix*`; `ns/*` strips `ns/`; Anthropic keys default to
369`claude-*`), come first, and are free on g1t, only counted. Set them with
370`connect_integration` or `update_integration` (`workspace:admin`); keys are
371write-only. Refusals are in the route's format: `402` (`billing_error` /
372`insufficient_quota`) when out of AI credit, over the spend limit or not on
373the plan; `403` without `models:write` or with a personal token; `404` for a
374model no provider offers; `400` on g1t's models for fast mode (`speed`),
375`inference_geo`, `fallbacks`, `container`, server tools or non-function
376tools, `web_search_options` (all fine on the workspace's own provider). For
377Claude Code: `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=https://models.g1t.sh/anthropic` and
378`ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN=g1t_…`. The log (30 days, no prompts; each request's
379`format`, `provider`, `connection`, model and tokens):
380`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/gateway/requests` or the `billing` tool's
381`gateway_requests` action, with `models:read`. Guide:
382https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/ai-gateway/
383
384## Access and roles
385
386Everyone's access to a repository is a role: `read` (read, clone, open
387issues and pull requests, comment), `triage` (also label, assign, close),
388`write` (also push, merge, and put agents to work: anything that spends
389compute), `maintain` (also settings, branch protection, guardrails) or
390`admin` (also webhooks, secrets, deployments, domains, who has access,
391rename, archive, visibility, default branch). Owners of a workspace have
392admin on all of its repositories and alone transfer or delete them;
393members get the workspace's base permission (write unless owners change
394it); anyone can be given a role on one repository, as an outside
395collaborator; anyone reads a public repository. The highest wins. A
396private repository you cannot read answers `404`; one you can read but
397lack the role for answers `403` naming the role needed. An agent works
398with the role of the person it acts for on its repository, never more
399than `write`, and its token can never change who has access. An outside
400collaborator with `write` can put agents to work; the runs are charged to
401the repository's workspace, and their agents are told the project's memory,
402never the workspace's. Who can do what elsewhere: deployments are seen with
403`read` (on a public repository, by anyone, build logs included), deployed
404with `write`, configured (settings, domains) with `admin`; project settings
405and dependencies need `maintain`; repository webhooks, secrets and
406variables need `admin`, seeing them included; security alerts need
407`write` (dismissing a dependency alert too), dismissing or reopening a
408secret alert `admin`, turning security updates on or off `maintain`;
409enabling or disabling a workflow needs `maintain`; plans and project memory
410are read by anyone who can read the repository, and project memory is
411changed with `write`; workspace memory is for members. People: the
412workspace's Settings → Members (`g1t.sh/<owner>/-/people`, with an Outside
413collaborators tab and the Base permission for owners); a repository's
414Settings → Access (`g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/settings/access`); invitations
415are answered at `g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/invitations`.
416`GET {repo}/collaborators/{username}/permission` gives a role and what it
417allows. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/access-and-roles/
418
419Teams group a workspace's members (`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/teams`;
420the `team` MCP tool). A team given a role on a repository gives it to
421everyone in it and its child teams, and `source` is then `team`.
422`@workspace/team` in a comment tells the team's people; a pull request can
423ask a team to review (`POST {repo}/pulls/{number}/requested_reviewers` with
424`team_reviewers`), and the team may pick who. Guide:
425https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/teams/
426
427A CODEOWNERS file (`.g1t/CODEOWNERS`, `.github/CODEOWNERS`, `CODEOWNERS`,
428`docs/CODEOWNERS` or `.gitlab/CODEOWNERS`, the first found on the default
429branch) asks owners to review pull requests that change their files. With
430`require_code_owner_review` on (`PATCH {repo}/settings`), a merge waits for
431their approval; `code_owners` on `GET {repo}/pulls/{number}` says whose is
432missing, and `GET {repo}/codeowners/errors` checks the file. Guide:
433https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/codeowners/
434
435## Manage a repository
436
437People with the admin role rename it (`POST {repo}/rename` with `name`; the
438old address redirects), make it public or private
439(`POST {repo}/visibility` with `private` and its full name in `confirm`),
440archive or unarchive it (`POST {repo}/archive`, `POST {repo}/unarchive`),
441and owners of its workspace delete it (`DELETE {repo}` with its full name
442in `confirm`). A deleted
443repository can be restored for 30 days (`POST {repo}/restore`, listed by
444`GET /workspaces/{workspace}/repos/deleted`) and is then purged; its name
445stays taken until then, or until `POST {repo}/purge`. Maintain changes the
446description, `website` and `topics` with `PATCH {repo}`, admin the
447`default_branch`, and write renames branches with
448`POST {repo}/branches/{branch}/rename` and `new_name` (slashes in the
449branch URL-encoded); only admin renames the default branch. An archived
450repository is read-only: pushes and merges are refused, issues and pull
451requests are locked, and agents and workflows do not run on it.
452
453## Integrations
454
455A workspace's owners connect it to outside systems on its **Integrations**
456page, or with `POST /workspaces/{workspace}/integrations`:
457
458- **Its own model providers** (`anthropic`, `openai`, `gemini`, `xai`,
459 `mistral`, `deepseek`, `azure_openai`, `openrouter`, `groq`, `together`,
460 `fireworks`, `cerebras`, `anthropic_endpoint`, `openai_endpoint`), as many
461 as it uses, with each
462 kind of work routed to one of them or to g1t's hosted models
463 (`PUT /workspaces/{workspace}/model-routes`). Those providers bill the
464 workspace; g1t charges only each run's sandbox time, at cost plus 20%
465 (nothing on the workspace's own runners). Sandboxes never hold a key.
466- **Alerts** (`sentry`, `datadog`, `webhook`): each problem opens one issue
467 in a chosen repository, optionally with an agent put on it at once.
468 Senders sign requests to `https://api.g1t.sh/hooks/{integration}`.
469- **Trackers** (`jira`, `linear`): `GET {repo}/context?reference=TECH-1234`
470 fetches a ticket; `POST {repo}/issues/import` with `reference` (and
471 `assign`) opens a linked issue. Agents get tickets their work mentions in
472 their starting context. Ticket text is reference material, never
473 instructions.
474
475## Webhooks
476
477`POST {repo}/hooks` (or `/workspaces/{workspace}/hooks` for every
478repository in a workspace) with `url` and optional `events` sends events
479to that HTTPS address as they happen, signed in `X-G1t-Signature-256`
480(HMAC-SHA256 of the body), retried for about seven hours. Deliveries,
481with request and response, are at `…/hooks/{id}/deliveries`.
482
483## GitHub Actions
484
485GitHub Actions workflows run on g1t unchanged, from `.g1t/workflows/`
486(g1t never reads `.github`): moving a repository is `git mv .github .g1t`.
487Runs, jobs and logs are at GitHub's own routes under
488`{repo}/actions/...`. A run on a pull request's head is a check: pending
489holds the merge, failure refuses it and sends g1t back to fix it.
490Checks: CI and integrations report on commits with a token holding
491`checks:write` and the Write role: statuses
492(`POST {repo}/statuses/{sha}` with `state` pending/success/failure/error,
493`context`, `description`, `target_url`; `GET {repo}/commits/{ref}/status`
494combines them) and check runs (`POST {repo}/check-runs` with `name`,
495`head_sha`, `status`, `conclusion`, `output` {`title`, `summary`,
496`text`, `annotations`}, `actions`; `PATCH {repo}/check-runs/{id}` to
497complete one). A required check is met by a status or a check run of its
498name. g1t's agents read checks and never report them. Guide:
499https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/checks/
500Secrets and variables are one list per repository (site:
501`g1t.sh/<owner>/<repo>/settings/secrets`) and per workspace: each row is a
502key, Secret or Config, the environments it applies to (all, or e.g.
503production/preview, or a job's `environment:`), and whether workflows,
504deployments or both read it. API: `{repo}/actions/secrets` and
505`{repo}/actions/variables` (GitHub's routes) with extra `environments`,
506`available_to`, `repositories`, `note`, `id`. Every job gets
507`secrets.G1T_TOKEN` (`GITHUB_TOKEN` is its alias): a token for that job
508only, reaching its repository only, with the scopes its `permissions:`
509give (default `contents: read`, `packages: read`), revoked when the job
510ends; what it changes starts no workflows except `workflow_dispatch` and
511`repository_dispatch` (`POST {repo}/dispatches`). It cannot change
512secrets. A job naming an environment with protection rules (required
513reviewers, wait timer, branch limits; `PUT {repo}/environments/{name}`)
514waits until they pass, and reviewers approve it at
515`POST {repo}/actions/runs/{id}/pending_deployments`. A pull request's
516runs from outside may wait as `action_required` until someone with Write
517approves them (`POST {repo}/actions/runs/{id}/approve`); agents cannot
518approve runs or deployments. A pull request's runs and preview are trusted
519only when its author has `write` or higher on the repository (a member or
520an outside collaborator), or is g1t working on its own; for one g1t made,
521the role of whoever asked for it (`requested_by`) counts. Anyone else's run
522with config only. Guide:
523https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/secrets-and-variables/
524
525Self-hosted runners: a job with `runs-on: self-hosted` (or
526`[self-hosted, linux, gpu]`, or `{group: name}`) waits until a runner of the
527workspace's with every label takes it. Owners add one under
528`g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/runners`: a one-hour registration token, then
529`g1t-runner register --url https://g1t.sh --token g1trt_…` and
530`g1t-runner run`. Runners only connect out. API:
531`/workspaces/{workspace}/actions/runners`, `.../runner-groups`,
532`.../runner-settings` (and the same under `{repo}/actions/` for a
533repository's own); MCP: the `workflow` tool's `list_runners`,
534`create_runner_token`, `remove_runner`, runner group and settings actions
535(`runners:read`/`runners:admin`). Pull requests from forks never run on them
536unless allowed. Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/self-hosted-runners/
537
538## Projects
539
540A project is what a workspace builds and runs; every repository is a
541project of its own name (`g1t.sh/<owner>/<project>` opens its overview; its
542code is under `/code`; every repository address still works). Deployments,
543secrets and variables belong to the project; branches, pull requests,
544review and merge rules to its repository (Settings → Repository). Guide:
545https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/projects/
546
547## Security
548
549A push that adds a known key or token format (AWS, GitHub, GitLab, Stripe
550live, Slack tokens and webhooks, Google, Anthropic, OpenAI, npm, g1t,
551SendGrid, PEM private keys, service-role JWTs) is refused with every secret
552listed by `file:line` in git's output and a link to allow it; this includes
553an agent's push to its pull request. A very large push is scanned after it
554lands, not before: it goes through, its new commits (any branch) are
555scanned in the background, and a secret found is an open alert, emailed to
556the workspace's owners when it looks real. History is scanned once in the
557background. Never commit a secret: read it from the environment. Values are
558judged by the value alone, never the file's path: a documented example key,
559a value containing example/sample/dummy/fake/placeholder/changeme/notreal/
560redacted/xxxxx, one that counts up (six or more, like 123456), one
561character five or more times, a repeated short piece, or too little
562randomness is a "likely test value": listed apart, never blocks a push,
563never counted critical. Any other fixture carries `g1t:allow-secret` in a
564comment on its line. Alerts are `open`, `dismissed` or `fixed`. Dismissing a
565secret alert needs `admin`, with a reason (`false_positive`,
566`used_in_tests`, `wont_fix`: dismissed, and pushes carrying it go through;
567`revoked`: fixed) and an optional comment (500 characters); a dependency
568alert needs `write` (`fix_started`, `no_bandwidth`, `tolerable_risk`,
569`inaccurate`, `not_used`). Reopen undoes it. API:
570`GET {repo}/security/alerts` (`state`, `kind`),
571`POST {repo}/security/alerts/{id}/dismiss` (`reason`, `comment`),
572`POST {repo}/security/alerts/{id}/reopen`; MCP `repository` actions
573`security_alerts`, `dismiss_alert`, `reopen_alert` (`repo:read` to list,
574`repo:admin` to dismiss or reopen). Lockfiles (npm, pnpm, yarn, Cargo, Go,
575Python) on the default branch are checked against OSV on every push to it
576and daily. Security updates (on by default; `maintain` turns them off): for
577each vulnerable dependency with a fix, g1t itself opens a pull request
578authored by `g1t` from `g1t/security/<package>-<version>`, raising the
579version in each lockfile with the ecosystem's own tool; it merges through
580the branch's required checks and merge queue. A newer update for the same
581package, or the package no longer being vulnerable, closes it as
582superseded. Only when the bump fails, or required checks fail because code
583must change, does g1t open an issue and assign it to g1t (the session
584shows "started by g1t"). With no fix published, the alert links the
585advisory and is checked again daily. `.g1t/dependencies.yml` (version
586updates) is read and validated, but no version update pull requests are
587opened yet. `g1t` is not an account and cannot be signed in to.
588Guide: https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/security/
589
590The security suite (scopes `security:read`, `security:write`; MCP tool
591`security`). A push refused for a secret links to its alert, where anyone
592with `write` bypasses it with a reason (`false_positive`, `used_in_tests`,
593`will_fix_later`), or asks owners when the workspace delegates bypasses;
594an agent never bypasses: take the secret out and push again. Code
595scanning: upload SARIF 2.1.0 to `POST {repo}/code-scanning/sarifs`
596(`commit_sha`, `ref`, `sarif` gzipped then base64); default-branch results
597become alerts, pull request results (`refs/pull/<n>/head`) become line
598comments and the `Code scanning` status. `Dependency review` is a status on
599every pull request that changes a lockfile. Fix what either reports in your
600own pull request; both can be required checks. Also: custom patterns,
601validity checks, `GET {repo}/dependency-graph/sbom` (SPDX 2.3, in `sbom`),
602`GET {repo}/dependency-graph/compare/{base...head}`, and a workspace
603overview. On private repositories these need the Security and quality
604activation (`402` without it); public repositories have them free.

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