# About Githome

> What Githome is, how it's built on Cloudflare, who can use it at git.pkgforge.dev, and how to reach the people who run it.

Githome is a private, internal git forge at git.pkgforge.dev. It is compatible with GitHub's API and with `gh`, and it runs on Cloudflare, with copies kept off Cloudflare. Agents do their work through Git and pull requests like everyone else; people see what the agents did, approve what needs them and follow the whole process. Githome is not a product for sale: there is no plan, no price and no hosted service to sign up for.

## Why it exists

GitHub was designed for people. Agents on GitHub borrow a person's token, their pull requests look like anyone else's, and the only limits on them are the ones a team remembers to configure. Githome is a forge where an agent is an account of its own with limits the server enforces, and where moving from GitHub costs an afternoon rather than a rewrite: your workflow files stay in the repository (no run starts here while the forge CI is dormant), and `gh` and your editor's plain HTTPS clone keep working.

## How it's built

- **On Cloudflare, with no servers.** A Worker serves the web UI, Git, the REST and GraphQL APIs and MCP; every repository is a Durable Object with its own SQLite database; accounts live in D1 and large objects in R2. See [Architecture](https://git.pkgforge.dev/docs/self-hosting/architecture) and [Built on Cloudflare](https://git.pkgforge.dev/built-on-cloudflare).
- **Separate hosts for separate jobs.** The core serves `git.pkgforge.dev`. The superadmin console is its own site, `dash.git.pkgforge.dev`, with its own passkey sign-in, and each module will serve `NAME.git.pkgforge.dev` once it is deployed. See [Deployment and operation](https://git.pkgforge.dev/docs/self-hosting).
- **Mirrored and backed up.** Push mirrors copy each repository, with its forge state, to GitHub, Cloudflare Artifacts, GitLab, Forgejo or Codeberg, and backups go to an S3-compatible bucket off Cloudflare once its credentials are set.
- **The forge CI is dormant.** git.pkgforge.dev starts no Actions run, no hosted job and no agent sandbox. The Actions code is part of Githome, and the [Actions documentation](https://git.pkgforge.dev/docs/actions/overview) keeps its reference content.

## Who can use it

Anyone can browse and clone public repositories at git.pkgforge.dev without an account. A write needs an account, and accounts are by invitation: the superadmin invites each one in the dash and sends the one-time invitation link by hand. Githome sends no email for an invitation, and open sign-up is off. People sign in with a passkey. See [Invitations](https://git.pkgforge.dev/docs/accounts/invitations) and [Passkeys and sign-in](https://git.pkgforge.dev/docs/accounts/passkeys-and-sign-in).

## For AI assistants and search engines

Everything on this site is public and available as Markdown: add `.md` to any page's address, or send `Accept: text/markdown`. [/llms.txt](https://git.pkgforge.dev/llms.txt) indexes the site and the documentation, and [/llms-full.txt](https://git.pkgforge.dev/llms-full.txt) holds all of it in one file. Every site page shows the date its facts were last checked.

## Contact

- **Questions and privacy requests:** the [contact form](https://git.pkgforge.dev/contact), for people with an account. Messages reach the superadmin, who reads them in the dash.
- **Bugs and questions about the service:** the public tracker, [github.com/Azathothas/issues](https://github.com/Azathothas/issues), with the label `git.pkgforge.dev`. Without an account, this is the way to reach the people who run the instance: until the deployment has its Turnstile keys, the contact form and the report form take messages only from people who are signed in.
- **Security problems:** the private [report form](https://git.pkgforge.dev/security/report), as listed in [`/.well-known/security.txt`](https://git.pkgforge.dev/.well-known/security.txt), for people with an account.
- **git.pkgforge.dev status:** [/status](https://git.pkgforge.dev/status).
- **Documentation:** [git.pkgforge.dev/docs](https://git.pkgforge.dev/docs).
