What works now: user signups, org creations, private/public repos, and importing GitHub repositories (both as read-only mirrors and full migrations). So basically, you can create, push and pull to a repo, but we don't have many features quite yet (issues, PRs, CI). What is a bit unique is: 1) we built it in Rust and 2) the website is a little odd. Its design is inspired by CLIs (e.g., fzf, broot, vim) instead of web apps, and as such, lacks some affordances that you might typically expect in favor of keyboard-driven instant navigations (we have the very ambitious goal of an FCP of…

Hey HN, Every team I've been on has cobbled together some sort of combination of GitHub branch protections and custom scripts to make sure that PRs conform to organization policies and best practices. Things like: - When {X} file is changed, require review from team {Y} - When a new db migration is added, ensure that a special set of tests pass - Require multiple approvals when the PR is very large - Add a special label to PRs that include breaking changes - Allow emergencies / hotfixes to break glass and bypass all of the above Most teams tend to start out with a little script running…

Hi Hacker News! Shahar and Tal from Keep here. A few months ago, we introduced here at HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34806482) Keep as an “open source alerting CLI” and got some interesting feedback - mainly around UI, automation, and supporting more tools. We were VERY early back then, and we understood that although the current DX around creating alerts is not great, it's not that critical and developers don’t need another tool just for that. But we did find something else. While talking to developers and devops, we found that a lot of companies use many tools…

Hi! I got tired of setting up tools I can't explain to a team in a few words like sops or git-crypt, just to store few files with environment variables or secrets, so I built lockenv as a simple alternative. It's basically a password-protected vault file you commit to git. No gpg keys, no cloud, just lockenv init, set a password, and lock/unlock the secrets. This tool integrates with OS keyring, so you're not typing passwords constantly. Should work on Mac/Linux/Windows, but I tested it only on linux so far. I am not trying to replace any mature / robust solution, just…

Hey, we built an open-source CLI in Go purposed to help you answer security questions across your cloud, code and runtime. It connects to your GitHub, GitLab, AWS, GCP, Azure & K8s using the credentials that are already in your shell, while limiting itself to read-only. The core innovation here is the trust boundary - our agent has a built-in code execution sandbox with no host or network access; it is exposed to an internal tool which we call an “action gate” that performs read-only HTTP requests to your own infrastructure. Since the cloud providers constantly expand actions and services,…

You can see the spam comments and which users are posting the spam in real time. Also, here's a post we wrote about how we set it up: https://www.trytrench.com/blog/preventing-spam-and-fake-star...

I authenticate to many Git hosts from many machines and got tired of generating and copying personal access tokens. With credential helper git-credential-oauth, there are no personal access tokens or SSH keys to configure. Instead you authenticate in browser using OAuth. Git Credential Manager (included with Git for Windows) has a similar feature but it's awkward for Linux users to install. git-credential-oauth is cross platform and packaged in many Linux distributions.
