GAnarchy

GAnarchy is a Project Page Generator focused on giving forks of a project the same visibility as the original repo. More importantly, it's a tool to help fight against BDFLs and other forms of centralized project management.

Basic Usage

First, initialize the database with ganarchy.py initdb. The database is stored in the XDG data home, as per XDG spec.

Then create or edit the file $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ganarchy/config.toml. It should contain the following items:

# Example GAnarchy config

# The base_url is the web address of the GAnarchy instance
# Restrictions: MUST be present. SHOULD be https.
base_url = "https://ganarchy.autistic.space/"

# The title is shown on the homepage. If not present, defaults to "GAnarchy on [base_url's hostname]"
title = "GAnarchy on autistic.space"

# The projects table is made up of "project commit" hashes (see below for project commit)
[projects.385e734a52e13949a7a5c71827f6de920dbfea43]
# Each project is made up of repos and branches
# HEAD is special and refers to the default branch
# Restrictions: active MUST be present, file URLs are disallowed
"https://cybre.tech/SoniEx2/ganarchy".HEAD = { active=true }
# repos/branches with active=false will not be shown or updated
"https://cybre.tech/SoniEx2/ganarchy".broken = { active=false }

A project commit is a commit that must start with [Project] followed by the project name, and may have an optional description.

Example project commit:

[Project] GAnarchy

A Project Page Generator written in Python, focused on giving forks of a
project the same visibility as the original repo.

To generate the output pages:

ganarchy.py cron-target index > index.html
ganarchy.py cron-target config > config.toml # if federation is desired
ganarchy.py cron-target $PROJECT_COMMIT > project/$PROJECT_COMMIT/index.html # for each project

It's recommended to use a wrapper script to generate the project pages. ganarchy.py cron-target project-list may be of use.

Advanced Usage

In addition to the basic configuration above, you can also place your own templates in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ganarchy/templates.

The current templates are: index.html, index.toml, project.html.
