GotHub

Alternative front-end for GitHub written with Go. (WIP) Matrix

Features

• Lightweight - for both you and the instance host
• No JavaScript - pure HTML and CSS goodness
• No requests made to Micro$oft - they won't even know you made a request!
• Open source - for peer review & trustworthiness
• Save bandwidth - no JavaScript/tracking bloat loaded!

Instances

Difference between branches

The master branch runs on the master branch of GotHub. This means that the instance is running a stable, tested version of GotHub that doesn't get updated as much as dev. Doesn't mean they're not bad though!

dev instances run on the dev branch of GotHub. This might mean they are more up-to-date than other instances, but at the same time, they might not be (instance admin might not always update their instance, no auto-updates etc.). You can get the latest and greatest straight out of Git, but you could meet on bugs and other nasty things.

Setup

Docker

We recommend Docker as it is easy to update GotHub that way and it is easy to setup. Packages page

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name gothub codeberg.org/gothub/gothub

If you are using Portainer or Podman, you know how to create the GotHub container.

Manual

You will need an installation of Go 1.19+ installed on your system.

git clone https://codeberg.org/gothub/gothub.git
cd gothub
go build -o gothub
./gothub serve

If you don't want to use port 3000 for GotHub, set the GOTHUB_PORT environment variable to the port you want to use.
