Purpose

Offer a simple web interface for browsing repository files, commits, and diffs.

Current state

Last touched: 2016-10-05. Functionality and completeness: Legacy GitList app with limited maintenance.

Next step

Add baseline automated tests to cover critical flows; Add CI pipeline for build/test/lint; Document deployment/runtime environment (or add Dockerfile); Document interfaces (CLI flags, API endpoints, file formats); Add structured logging and basic health checks.

Interfaces

Inputs
  • config.ini with repo paths, Git repositories on disk
  • Config file (config.ini)
Outputs
  • HTML UI views

Reality to Action trace

Reality Ingestion

Canonical Storage

Not in scope.

Automation Engines

Not in scope.

Human Interfaces

Contributes in this stage.

Operational Adoption

Contributes in this stage.

Core workflow

TBD. Document the 5-10 steps that define the core workflow.

Operational notes

Constraints and scars

  • Legacy PHP version requirements and older dependencies make modern deployments harder.

Reliability posture

Failure modes and safe behavior: Missing repo paths or permissions cause UI errors. Idempotency / retries / batching behavior: Not applicable.

Observability

  • Logs: Web server and PHP logs
  • Metrics/health checks: None documented
  • Logs: Web server logs and PHP error logs.

Security and privacy

Access to GitList should be restricted to authorized users; it exposes repository contents and commit history.

Dependencies

Upstream
  • Git binary on the server

Architecture & Major Components

  • High-level diagram (text):

    • Entry/trigger -> core logic -> outputs (details per docs below)

  • Entry points: index.php

  • Top-level folders: cache, pkg_builder, src, tests, themes

  • src/ submodules: Controller, Escaper, Exception, Git, Provider, Util

  • Key abstractions: Git repository provider, Twig templates, controllers for UI views

Setup / Build / Run

  • Build system(s): Composer.
  • Requires Git and a PHP-capable web server (Apache/Nginx).
