Where people and agents ship software together. The open-source git platform for the whole job: issues, agents, checks and deploys to the edge.

g1t.sh
syntaqxA file's history and a repository's failed runs are one read each, so Ask (and any agent) answers "why does this file exist" and "why did the last Deploy fail" from what happened rather than by paging. list_commits with `path` now gives that file's or directory's own history: the commits on the first-parent chain that changed it (added, changed, removed), newest first, with `last_changed` the newest and `complete` false when a long history was not walked to its start in time. The repos service's new path_log walks the history as last_commits does, reading ahead in batches, a tree only where the path's directory changed, within its read budget and 8 s. list_workflow_runs takes GitHub's `status`, a status (queued, in_progress, waiting, completed) or a conclusion (failure, success, cancelled…), on REST (status, and head_sha on a workflow's runs too) and MCP, and the actions service filters by either. Ask's system prompt finds failed runs with status failure, says a run still going has no result rather than calling it passed, judges health from the newest completed run and what is still going, and reads a file's history for why it exists, quoting its commit messages. The quality bar no longer reads a run's number, in a link to the run or a table of runs, as an issue's. Its last run on production scored 97.1% of checks and a judge mean of 3.81 over 27 questions, against 52.1% and 3.08 before Ask had tools; these address its weakest answers. Checked: path_log's walks over a file, a directory, a missing path, a limit, pages and a read budget; cargo test for the workspace (the actions crates on their own), the wasm builds, the TypeScript typecheck, every workspace's tests, the deploy tool's and the plugin's tests and the docs build; the OpenAPI document, the CLI's operations and its reference are regenerated, and the MCP reference says both.

g1t/deploy

Builds the checkout a g1t Actions job is in and puts it on g1t.page: production when the run is on the project's production branch, the pull request's preview for a pull request's run, and the branch's preview for a run on any other branch.

The project must have Deployments on, and the workspace's plan must include them. The guide, Deploying from a workflow, says what is built and when.

Inputs

InputDefault
projectThe repository's one project with Deployments onThe project's slug. Needed when the repository has several.
root-dirThe project's settingWhere the project is in the checkout.
build-commandThe project's setting, else what the build findsWhat builds it.
output-dirThe project's setting, else the folder the framework writes, else the first of dist, build, out, public, _site, .output/publicThe folder a static build writes.
build-asThe project's setting, else autoWhat it is built as: auto, static, workers or docker. A container is built with the docker on the job's PATH.
dockerfileThe project's setting, else Dockerfile or ContainerfileThe Dockerfile a container is built from, relative to the project.
shaThe run's commitThe commit this is a build of, for its g1t / deploy check.
token${{ github.token }}The job's own token. It needs deployments: write; any other token is refused.

How it works

  1. It calls POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/deployments/builds with the job's token. g1t checks the plan and the spend limit, decides production or preview from the run, sets the commit's g1t / deploy check to pending, and answers with a token for this build alone and the project's variables and secrets for builds of that kind.
  2. It masks that token and every secret with ::add-mask::.
  3. It runs g1t-runner deploy in the checkout, which installs, builds and uploads the app exactly as g1t's own builds do, and reports to g1t with the build's token. The build's log is in the step's.

A pull request from a fork or from someone without the Write role, and a run that had to be approved, build without the project's secrets. The build's time is the job's Actions time; it is not charged again.

g1t-runner is on g1t's machines. Elsewhere (a self-hosted runner), the action uses the one on PATH, or downloads the newest release from https://g1t.sh/downloads/runner/latest/ and checks it against the release's SHA256SUMS. It runs on Linux and macOS, with curl and either jq or python3.
