Overview

Git-arr is an innovative git repository browser designed for users who need a simple solution for generating static HTML outputs of their repositories. Unlike more robust options, such as gitweb or cgit, git-arr opts for a streamlined approach that sacrifices some features in favor of ease of use and quick setup. This tool is particularly appealing to those who prioritize straightforward repository visualization without the complexities that come with more feature-rich alternatives.

This software is open source under the MIT license, making it accessible for developers and users alike. With a minimal yet effective design philosophy, git-arr is perfect for scenarios where generating a simple visual representation of git repositories is the primary goal.

Features
