stig

A small web UI for browsing a local Git repository.

stig shows the commit log, commit diffs, working tree status, and file tree for the repository it is pointed at.

Features

• Commit log with commit detail pages
• Parsed diff rendering for commits and working tree changes
• File tree browser with inline file viewing
• Server-side Git access via TanStack Start server functions

Requirements

• Bun
• Git

Getting Started

Install dependencies:

bun install

Start the dev server against the current directory:

bun run dev

Point stig at a different repository by setting GITUI_REPO_PATH:

GITUI_REPO_PATH=/path/to/repo bun run dev

Build

bun run build

Preview the production build

bunx vite preview

Routes

• / — commit log
• /commit/$hash — commit detail and patch view
• /tree — repository file tree
• /status — staged, unstaged, and untracked changes

Notes

• The app reads Git data from the local filesystem. Make sure GITUI_REPO_PATH points at a valid Git repository.
• Large repositories can produce large client bundles because syntax highlighting support is broad right now.
