OwnGit keeps replaced Git history within reach
A self-hosted Git server for a computer, NAS, or home server that preserves commits replaced by force-pushes or deleted branches.
- For
- Self-hosters protecting Git repositories
- Worth noticing
- Its backups include refs and objects, plus pull-request, check, and import records; release binaries are unsigned.
Field notes
Installation paths include Homebrew, npm, Arch, and release archives; package-manager coverage differs because each method needs Git with git-http-backend, which Homebrew and Arch install for users. Backups include refs and objects plus pull-request, check, and import records, settings, and SHA-256 hashes; restore creates a new installation. The release archive binaries are not signed, and the page directs users to check them against SHA256SUMS.
