-A git web frontend that wants to hug your code.
-
-
-Why?
-----
-
-This is a very good first question, and one that I think is important
-to answer before getting more into the project. Whenever I brought up
-this project during the creation of it, most people would react with
-"have you tried...", followed by some git web software, such as
-gitlab, gittea, and many many more. But there is a reason why I stuck
-with octopus and the design ideas I had for it.
-
-Fundamentally it's about decentralisation. The internet is a pretty
-big place (allegedly), but a lot of the services that people use are
-very centralised by a single company or even server. If this company
-or server goes away, so does valuable knowledge. There are many ways
-to create more decentralised systems, and one aspect of this for me,
-is code repos.
-
-Git is by it's nature decentralised, meaning that it doesn't require
-an "upstream" or canonical server to function. Theoretically you
-could use git to exchange code patches with people without the
-internet. Yet, a lot of people's perception of git is one that is
-dictated by the workflows on github and gitlab: centralised into a
-single service. Many git web frontends mirror this workflow, because
-after all, it is what people want and love.
-
-However, it has some flaws (which would take too long to elaborate
-here), and for octopus I had something else in mind. Instead of
-replicating the same mistakes, I took much more inspiration from cgit,
-which is used and loved by many today.
-
-Octopus is a re-imagining of cgit, trying to improve the UX and
-maintainability where possible, adding new features, but mostly
-staying true to it's core: a simple git web service, that doesn't lock
-you into a vendor, or server.
-
-Configuration
--------------
-
-octopus is easy to configure and run, even on systems that don't give
-you priviledged system access. The main server binary is configured
-primarily with a few environment variables, and an app config.
-
-+ OCTOPUS_CONFIG should contain the path of the main configuration
-
-+ OCTOPUS_SSL_KEY can optionally be set to the path of a certificate key
-
-+ OCTOPUS_SSL_CERT can optionally be set to the path of a certificate
-
-
-The main configuration file is written in yaml, and outlines things
-like the application domain, repo paths, and added modules. Because
-octopus is vory modular, you can only depend on certain features.
