Self-hosted GitHub replacement

A self-hosted GitHub replacement for the author's own use that hosts public and private Git repositories. It will not launch with full feature parity and focuses on a UI the author actually likes.

01 / The problem

What it addresses

Existing GitHub alternatives look like someone drawing GitHub from memory, and cgit (which the author uses for public repos) is too basic with no built-in support for private repos.

    “now I'm beginning work on a Github replacement (for me). Here's what I'm thinking for the UI[2]. I'm not trying to have feature-parity out the gate, I just want something that doesn't give me the ick. I self-host public repos with cgit but that's too basic and there's no built-in support for private repos.”
