1	# anvil
2
3	A minimal self-hosted git forge in Rust, built on [gix (gitoxide)](https://github.com/GitoxideLabs/gitoxide).
4	Modeled on Gitea's basic feature set: repository hosting, web code browsing,
5	the git smart protocols (HTTP and SSH), issues, pull requests, users/orgs with
6	access control, and webhooks. No wiki, no CI/CD.
7
8	## Status
9
10	Early development. Milestone 1 (workspace scaffold + storage) is in place:
11	`anvild` can initialize its database and create users and bare repositories on
12	disk. The git wire protocol, web UI, and SSH transport follow.
13
14	## Architecture
15
16	A Cargo workspace. The keystone is `anvil-git`: gix is a client library
17	with no server-side protocol, so anvil supplies its own transport-agnostic
18	`upload-pack`/`receive-pack` (smart-HTTP and SSH share one implementation).

20	\| Crate \| Responsibility \|
21	\|--------------\|----------------\|
22	\| `anvil-core` \| Domain model, SQLite persistence, on-disk bare-repo storage \|
23	\| `anvil-git` \| Server-side git wire protocol on gix (upstream-candidate) \|
24	\| `anvil-web` \| axum HTTP server: web UI + smart-HTTP git endpoints \|
25	\| `anvil-ssh` \| git-over-SSH (russh) \|
26	\| `anvil` \| `anvild` daemon + admin CLI \|

28	## Quick start
29
30	```sh
31	cargo run -- migrate # create data/ + database
32	cargo run -- user create alice --password secret # create a user
33	cargo run -- repo create alice/hello # create a bare repo on disk
34	cargo run -- serve # start the server
35	```

37	Configuration is optional; see [`anvil.example.toml`](anvil.example.toml).
