anvil

A minimal, self-hosted git forge in Rust, built on gix (gitoxide).

Design rules

• Pure gitoxide — never the git binary. The product (server, CI broker, mirroring, deploy image) must not invoke or depend on a git executable. When gix lacks a capability, implement the protocol on gix plumbing instead of shelling out — e.g. gix can't push yet, so anvil-git/src/push.rs speaks the send-pack wire format itself (with gitserver-core covering the server side). Tests may use the git CLI, but only as a fixture/interop check, never on the code path under test.

Dev setup: git config core.hooksPath .githooks — the pre-commit hook runs cargo +nightly fmt (nightly, for the unstable options in rustfmt.toml), cargo sort-derives (cargo install cargo-sort-derives), and cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings.

Current status, resume notes, the agreed next steps (a/b/c), and the roadmap live in the TODO. Read it first:
