Overview

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 1.15 or higher. Contributors to smithy should have the optional scdoc for generating documentation.

$ 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:

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.

  • Patch support

    Patch support

    While I was writing support for .patch, I've stumbled upon go-git not having support for patches.

    I opened an issue, to either add better support for patches or writing format-patch on go-git. We still can write that manually on smithy, but I would rather wait, what do you think?

    cannot build offline cos statik are dependency

    commit e4b24bd9b86f91e590ca0df270d249039a3503b2 this means golang is not the only dependence, so we need to use also statik from comamnd system to able to produce distribution packages from this great tool!

    Hi,

    when I run the make command I get the following error

    go mod download

  • patch view: introduce a view for commits ending in .patch

    patch view: introduce a view for commits ending in .patch

    This new view introduces a text/plain version of a single patch. It has some differences when using git format-patch and will match more the --no-stats version of the refered git command. This is due the fact that go-git has no support for summary for diffs yet (I have a patch waiting for over a month there) 1.

    There's also a problem when dealing with the root commit, which go-git Patch API still doesn't support 2.

  • blob view: remove extra prefix in path value

    blob view: remove extra prefix in path value

    Files immediately under the root of the repo were being rendered as ././name because the template includes a static ./ value. Remove that so the path is always accurate.

  • Statik dependency during build

    Statik dependency during build

    You say that the only dependency is Golang in the README. But when I try to compile the project by doing

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

    I get

    make: statik: No such file or directory
    make: *** [all] Error 
    

    Maybe the documentation should be updated ?

  • Failed to load templates: template: header.html:10: function

    Failed to load templates: template: header.html:10: function "css" not defined

    When using the files directly from include Smithy can't start, because header.html tries to call {{css}} which seems to be not defined, although I can see it here. My knowledge of Go is limited though.

  • tree view: format preamble consistently with blob view

    tree view: format preamble consistently with blob view

    Wrap the ref in paragraph tags so the vertical alignment is consistent with the content in the blob.html template, so that when the user clicks through from a directory listing to an individual file the header section of the page does not appear to change sizes.

    Remove the extra path value, since it is the same as the parent path.

  • include static prefix in default config

    include static prefix in default config

    The default configuration generated by smithy generate did not include the static.prefix value, which is needed to make the templates render. This commit adds a default value based on the setting in the README.

  • Basic Service File

    Basic Service File

    Hi, what would a basic service file fo smithy look like?

    For example, with runit could it just be to start the server on boot?

    #!/bin/sh
    
    exec smithy serve --config config.yml 2>&1
    

    I guess the service would also need to restart when a git repository is pushed to or should that be handled by a git hook instead?

    What would be the ideal set up?

  • Tarball support

    Tarball support

    A cool feature would be support downloading tarballs from refs, specially for tags and commits.

    This probably would involve firing up git-archive (1) if go-git doesn't have support for this already.

  • Add support for grouping repositories

    Add support for grouping repositories

    Today we have a bug where if a repository is under a directory, we don't load it correctly. As I wrote a patch to fix this, I started to wonder if adding support for grouping repositories would not make more sense. I think this should be discussed if we should infer if the repository path has a slash, we should group it (cgit does this), or if we should add first class support to the project group, with its title, description, etc. It would also make more sense considering that smithy shows "Projects", and some are often made up of several different repositories.
