gitd

A decentralized git forge built on DWN protocols.

Research preview — under active development. APIs and CLI may change without notice.

# install
curl -fsSL https://gitd.sh/install | bash

# create a repo, push code, open a PR — all addressed by DID
gitd setup
gitd init my-project
git clone did::did:dht:abc123/my-project
# ... make changes ...
git push
gitd pr create "Add feature"
gitd pr merge a1b2c3d

---

Install

curl -fsSL https://gitd.sh/install | bash

Or via bun / npm:

bun add -g @enbox/gitd

This installs three binaries:

Binary	Purpose
gitd	CLI — forge commands, servers, shims
git-remote-did	Git remote helper — resolves did:: URLs
git-remote-did-credential	Credential helper — DID-signed push tokens

Quick Start

gitd setup                      # configure git for DID remotes
gitd init my-repo               # create repo record + bare git repo
gitd serve                      # start git transport server
git clone did::did:dht:abc/my-repo

gitd whoami                     # show connected DID

Git Transport

gitd serve runs a smart HTTP git server with DID-based authentication.

• Clone and push via native git protocol
• Pushers prove DID ownership; server checks DWN role records
• Refs and git bundles sync to DWN after each push
• Repos auto-restore from DWN bundles on cold start

Compatibility Shims

Local proxies that let existing tools talk to DWN without modification. Run them all with gitd daemon, or individually:

Shim	Example
GitHub API	gh repo view did:dht:abc/my-repo
npm	npm install --registry=http://localhost:4873 @did:dht:abc/my-pkg
Go	GOPROXY=http://localhost:4874 go get did.enbox.org/did:dht:abc/my-mod
OCI	docker pull localhost:5555/did:dht:abc/my-image:v1.0.0

Web UI

Server-rendered HTML for browsing repos, issues, PRs, releases, and wiki pages. No client-side JS.

gitd web --port 3000

Architecture

See ARCHITECTURE.md for protocol and system design, or PLAN.md for the full roadmap.

Development

bun install            # install dependencies
bun run build          # typecheck + compile
bun run lint           # eslint (zero warnings)
bun test .spec.ts      # run all tests
