I really like this.

I have written a comment previously about it recently (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47548393) but essentially, I believe that the more tooling/projects within this space, the better.

I have had an idea recently where I can use something like https://github.com/nemasu/asmttpd (assembly webserver) created by nemasu (they are on HN with same name) and deploying this under container from:scratch or gvisor on a single Virtual machine to have thousands of isolated git still on a more safer degree.

Asmttpd has made me gone into a rabbit hole of finding minimalist ways to create web servers but I don't know asm/low-level. I kinda wish to Try Zig for a project like this but I have been unable to really get the feels of running a web server on anything low level (Rust requires lots of deps etc.), I really love golang for web servers but I am nowadays allured by the idea of even more lower level language.

also for git, Github has been going on a meteoric decline which also makes me want to wish for more git viewer alternatives

That has a very nice aesthetic and premium feel to it. Might be perfect for use with local repositories.

Does this remove all branch-related information or am I missing something?
