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
syntaqxLarge pull requests, commits and comparisons open quickly and no longer risk failing: the Files changed tab of a 206-file pull request sent every file's diff at once, 14,366 table rows drawn on the server (6.7 MB of its 8.7 MB of HTML) and the same lines again in the data the page hydrates from (1.6 MB), with 300 KB of highlighting sent twice. Now the page arrives with the whole file list, tree and counts, and the lines of its first files, about 2,000; every later file holds its place at its height and loads as you scroll near it, eight or so to a request (diff-files.json, cached by the two commits compared, here and in the browser), and a refresh keeps what was loaded. A file with a diff over 1,000 lines (a lockfile, generated code) waits for Load diff; files with comments on their lines come with the page wherever they are; a link to a file (#file-<path>, or #diff-<path>) opens it, loads it at once however large, and keeps it at the top while the files above it fill in. Small changes are sent exactly as before. Highlighting done on the server stops after 16,000 characters rather than 40,000; the rest is coloured in the browser as it comes near, as it already was. The repos service listed the files past its 20,000-line read as binary with no counts, so 126 of this pull request's files said "Binary or large file"; they are now marked omitted, show no counts until read ("126 files not counted" in the toolbar), and load like the rest, read on their own by compare's new paths (at most 50); truncated now means only that more than 300 files changed. get_pull_request_changes and GET /repos/{owner}/{name}/pulls/{number}/changes take paths too, and the mobile app says an omitted file is too large to show there. The pull requests guide gains Files changed, and limitations says how large changes are shown. Checked: the site's typecheck, its 914 tests (new: the first-screens budget, large and commented files, omitted and binary ones, links to a file, and fetching in batches, once, with retries) and a production build; cargo test for contracts, repos (new: omitted files and reading by path), actions, security, work and api; the mobile typecheck; the docs build. Measured on flagon-io/g1t pull 1's real response, before → after: single-fetch data 1,592,101 → 236,252 bytes; the diff's server-rendered HTML 6,694,038 → 1,698,300 bytes (renderToString 62 → 15 ms), so the page's HTML about 8.7 MB → 2.0 MB; in a harness mounting the real routes in Chrome at 1280 px, first render 600 → 270 ms, settled 2,250 → 750 ms, long tasks 1,700 → 500 ms, 84,605 → 17,982 elements; scrolling to the bottom loads all 72 waiting files in 9 requests, and refreshes with the same data remove no elements, before and after files load. Screenshots at 1280 and 390 px looked at.

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.
