What is rgit?
rgit is a web frontend for browsing bare Git repositories, built with Rust for high performance. It provides a modern, fast alternative to older tools like gitweb and cgit, featuring efficient metadata storage, on-demand loading, and dark mode support. It solves the need for a responsive, self-hosted interface to explore Git repositories over the web.
Developers, system administrators, and organizations who need a self-hosted, performant web interface for their Git repositories, especially those managing large repositories or preferring Rust-based tooling.
Developers choose rgit for its exceptional speed, modern Rust-based architecture, and ease of self-hosting. Its unique selling point is the combination of gitoxide for Git operations and RocksDB for caching, resulting in significantly faster page loads compared to traditional alternatives.
