walgit with a GitHub Enterprise Server facade — git over smart HTTP from an object-store bucket
About the project
walgit is a git server as a single binary that stores repositories in an object store (S3/GCS) with no database and no local state. It supports smart HTTP fetch/push, bundle-uri, Git LFS, a web UI, API, push policies, and webhooks.
Useful for
- Deploy a git server on top of an S3 bucket without a database or dedicated server.
- Set up push policies to protect branches and enforce fast-forward only.
- Use bundle-uri to speed up cloning of large repositories.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
