GitSocial

Git-native collaboration: posts, issues, PRs, releases, all in your repo.

How It Works

Everything is a commit. Posts, issues, PRs, reviews and releases are stored as git commits on gitmsg/* branches. Syncing is git: fetch updates, push your changes. Works offline, air-gapped and peer-to-peer. git clone --mirror moves the data to any host, with no API scraping and no data loss.

Workflow

• Fetch: pull updates from repositories you follow
• Push: send your local changes to your remote
• Lists: group repositories into curated feeds

Follow someone by adding their repo to a list. Their posts appear in your timeline after fetch.

Extensions

• Social: posts, comments, reposts, quotes, timeline, lists, followers
• PM: issues, milestones, sprints, boards
• Review: pull requests, inline feedback, fork PRs, merges
• Release: releases, artifacts, checksums, signatures
• Memo: notes across session, personal, project and inherited tiers

Each extension stores data on its own gitmsg/* branch and can be enabled or disabled in Settings.

TUI Layout

• Left panel: navigation sidebar
• Right panel: content area for the active view
• Footer: shows available keys for the current view

tab moves focus between the two panels.
