<p>
The goal of PyGitWeb is to provide everything you need to self host a code forge for small or medium-sized teams.
PyGitWeb implements OAuth2 flows, but if running locally or inside a LAN, it can be run without authentication.
</p>
<p>
PyGit2 is the only dependency required by the internal tooling package, so you can script workflows without
bringing up the web server. There is also an ABC-based plugin model if you want to extend the stack with your own tools.

<p>All project metadata is stored in-situ; discovering new merge requests and tasks is just a git fetch.</p>

<div class="section__prose reveal">
<p>
Settings, merge requests, comments, and tasks all live in your repository object database.
No separate database service to provision. If you have a repo, you have what PyGitWeb needs.

Not yet. PyGitWeb is currently only tested with light workflows, and is only recommended for evaluation by individuals and small teams. Stay tuned for updates!
