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

syntaqxA page left open survives a moment without a network: sitting on /flagon-io/g1t/settings/repository, one background refresh met "TypeError: Failed to fetch" (Wi-Fi changing, a laptop waking, a connection cut during a deploy) and the root error page replaced the whole page, in the browser and the desktop app alike. The router's own reads (its .data requests and /__manifest, GET and same-origin only) are now asked again when they get no answer at all (lib/resilient-fetch.ts, installed in entry.client.tsx): after 0.25 s, 0.5 s, 1 s, 2 s, 4 s, then every 5 s, at once when the browser says it is back online. A refresh of the page already showing keeps trying for as long as it takes, and the page stays as it is meanwhile; a click elsewhere cancels it. From the second miss a toast says "Can't reach g1t. Trying again…" and goes once a read arrives (components/connection-toast.tsx). A read for another page (a click) tries for 45 s, under the stuck-navigation rescue's 75 s, then reaches the error page, which for a network failure now says "Can't reach g1t" and loads the page again by itself (3 s, 6 s, 12 s, then every 30 s, and at once on coming back online or into view; lib/reconnect.ts) instead of showing an error with a link home. Writes are never sent again: one that failed may have arrived. A stale build's "Failed to fetch dynamically imported module" is not a network failure and still reloads the page as before. Checked: apps/web tsc -b; npm test (982; new: each browser's no-answer message and what is not one, which requests are retried, a refresh told from a navigation, the delays).

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.
