Smithy
===============================================================================

*smithy* (n) A blacksmith's shop; a forge.

Smithy is a web frontend for git repositories.  It's implemented entirely in
Golang, compiles to a single binary, and it's fast and easy to deploy.  Smithy
is an alternative to cgit or gitweb, and doesn't seek to compete with Gitea and
the like.

* Golang
* Single binary
* Easy to deploy
* Fast
* Customizable
* Free software
* Javascript-free

Building
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The only dependency is [Golang](https://golang.org/) 1.15 or higher.

```
$ git clone https://github.com/honza/smithy
$ make
$ ./smithy --help
```

Installing
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We provide a make rule for installing/uninstall smithy. It will also install a
sample configuration file at `/usr/local/share/smithy/smithy.yml` that you can
later use as a guide.

```
$ make install
$ make uninstall
```

Configuration
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can generate a sample configuration by issuing `make smithy.yml` command or
directly using the smithy binary:

```
$ make smithy.yml # will generate a smithy.yml file
$ smithy generate > config.yml
$ smithy serve --config config.yml
```

A sample configuration can be:

``` yaml
title: Smithy, a lightweight git forge
description: Publish your git repositories with ease
port: 3456
git:
  root: "/var/www/git"
  repos:
    - path: "some-cool-project"
      slug: "some-cool-project"
      title: "Some Cool Project"
      description: "Something really cool to change the world"
    - path: "ugly-hacks"
      exclude: true

static:
  root:
  prefix: /static/

templates:
  dir:
```

Customizing templates and css
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Out of the box, smithy bundles templates and css in the binary.  Setting
`static.root`, and `templates.dir` to empty string will cause smithy to use the
bundled assets.

If you'd like to customize the templates or the css, copy the `include`
directory somewhere, and then set `static.root`, and `templates.dir` to that
directory.

Demo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smithy is currently hosting [itself on my
domain](https://git.pokorny.ca/smithy).
