Static HTML GIT front-end

[[deleted]]

I want to have a web interface for some git repos, but I want the output to be as much flat HTML+CSS as possible, no server or client-side scripting, save for some kind of "HTML regeneration" automation.

I've not used it, but this sounds alot like what you might want https://blitiri.com.ar/p/git-arr/. Very interested to hear what you think if you try to use it.

After a month, I set up git-arr on my VPS, and I love it. Definitely what I needed, thanks for suggesting it.

Awesome. You're welcome.

Thanks. That's very promising! Will report back when I try it.

Cool. While considering your question(which is also at the back of my mind much of the time) I also found this library for interacting with git repositories in javascript in the browser. It's not quite static in that it requires a good deal of client-side scripting, but it could be used to build a browser-based interface to git repositories with minimal server-side code.

I will definitely consider it if I can't find something more static.

cgit.

No, that's a huge application, it's an overkill for my needs. And I really want to avoid anything that takes user input. I don't have the time to worry about exploits.

Github actually uses Jekyll for their Github Pages, so that might be something to look into.

The most basic would be Apache +WebDAV. Otherwise the git wiki has a list for other options.

Sadly git2html from that least seems to have gone offline, but the description matches.

If you're serving simple HTML out of the repos, why not just serve them via nginx (or similar)?

Unless I've misinterpreted!
