a couple of folks have asked about it today, so i figured i'd make a proper post about it!
gitten is a git frontend, kind of like github, that you self-host on your own server. it's read-only, so you don't need to worry about it opening up a hole in your security; you can't actually push to (or even clone) repositories through gitten, because it's only a file and history browser.
if you don't need a bunch of collaboration features, wikis, issue tracking, multiple users, etc. like you would get with something like github, gitlab, or forgejo/gitea, but you still want to show off your coding projects in a similar kind of UI, gitten might be something you'd be interested in c:
you can read the source if you're interested, and if you'd like to play around with it or use it you can clone it using git clone https://git.echowritescode.dev/public/gitten.git. feel free to send me feature requests or bug reports, and let me know if you use it (or any of my other work), it genuinely makes my day!!
