- GitRoot is a lightweight, powerful git forge requiring just one binary to run.
- All data is stored directly in Git as plain text files, not in a separate database.
- Access control is managed via a .gitroot/users.yml file, restricting edits by branch.
- Users can create branches and push changes; only the owner can merge into the default branch.
- Plugins are independent and optional, allowing customizable features like boards or web interfaces.
- GitRoot is in alpha version, not yet recommended for production use.
- The project is self-hosted on a GitRoot instance, with documentation available for contributions.
- Future goals include implementing features like web interface, issue management, and pull requests.
