Game of Trees 0.122 released https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20260211061627 #openbsd #got #git #gameoftrees #versioncontrol #development #freesoftware #libresoftware

got is about to get the ability fetch/send from/to sha256 repositories! ​

I've just sent a diff on the mailing list: it advances the work that I've committed almost two year ago during the Prague hackathon.

Back then, I was too stupid to understand the documentation and realize that we only needed to add a capability instead of supporting the Git protocol version v2 (which is only for fetch anyway.)

runxiyu on IRC kindly made us notice that we were wrong, and I'm so grateful that I can finally complete the "sha256 project" in got, even if a bit late ;-)

the future steps will be to fix clone (which is slightly tricky since we'll know the object format only after the git "handshake" happens) and sha256 support in gotd, our Git protocol server.

exiting times ahead =)

#gameoftrees #got #git

All our hosted Git repository servers have been updated to today's new 0.122 release of the Git-compatible #gameoftrees version control system.

This update brings fixes and tweaks for the web frontend. In particular, #OpenSSH host key fingerprints are now prominently displayed where it matters, encouraging users to verify host keys instead of trusting them blindly on first use. See the Game of Trees change log for details: https://gameoftrees.org/releases/changes.html#2026-02-10

We anticipate upcoming support for SHA256 object-format Git repositories, hopefully in the next release (as per https://bsd.network/@op/116030524380288866)

By the way, we still have spare room for more hosted VMs. If you want some no-nonsense, community-driven, minimal #git repository and static website hosting in your life then find us at https://gothub.org/

Our service runs #OpenBSD exclusively but no expertise in BSD is required at all to make use of it. Repositories, user accounts, access rules, commit notifications, and web hosting can be managed by editing a plain-text configuration file stored in a Git repository.

Today's new release of the #gameoftrees version control system finally makes it possible to have a #git repository web frontend on the Game of Trees Hub, including the ability to serve static web sites directly out of hosted repositories.

We are in the process of upgrading all user VMs to make these new features available.
