Runs GitHub in 650 lines of SQL, replacing Gitea for local agent swarms.

Strengths
  • Storing git objects and deltas directly in Postgres rows is a bold architectural choice.
  • Native gh CLI compatibility means zero workflow changes for existing teams.
  • Eliminates disk management complexity by leveraging DB tiered storage.
Weaknesses
  • Postgres write amplification could bottleneck large binary asset uploads.
  • Lacks the ecosystem integrations and marketplace of established forges.
Target Audience
