18 <h3>Project guidelines</h3>
21 Follow <a href="https://www.openbsd.org">OpenBSD</a>'s security practices
24 <li>Use a development process based on code review in email.
26 <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/pledge">pledge(2)</a> and
27 <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/unveil">unveil(2)</a> across the code base.
28 <li>Use privilege-separation when parsing repository data from network or disk.
31 Keep the entire code base BSD-licenced.
35 <h3>Long-term goals</h3>
38 Remain on-disk compatible with bare
39 <a href="https://git-scm.com">Git</a> repositories.
41 <li>Don't insist on Git-compatibility beyond this requirement.
43 <li>Provide a complete version control tool suite for OpenBSD.
45 <li>Intuitive command line interface for required version control operations
46 (<a href="got.1.html">got</a>).
47 <li>Interactive repository browser for history analysis and review of
48 committed changes (<a href="tog.1.html">tog</a>).
49 <li>Repository browser for web servers (<a href="gotwebd.8.html">gotwebd</a>).
50 <li>Repository administration tooling with a strong focus on backup and recovery (<a href="gotadmin.1.html">gotadmin</a>).
51 <li>Repository server for hosting a central repository and synchronizing
52 changes to a cascade of public and private mirrors (<a href="gotd.8.html">gotd</a>).
55 Consider workflow requirements of OpenBSD developers.
57 <li>Strong built-in support for a centralized repository model
58 (<a href="notes-pull-push">ideas about pull/push</a>).
59 <li>Keep things easy for developers who don't need branches.
60 <li>Support local branches for developers who need them.
61 <li>Support "-stable" release branches.
62 <li>Support features required by the OpenBSD project's build infrastructure.
64 <li>Implement authenticated and encrypted network communications.
66 <li>Provide <a href="https://openssh.com">SSH</a> and optional
67 <a href="https://libressl.org">TLS</a> support for cloning repositories
69 <li>Exclusively rely on SSH for pushing changes.
70 <li>Do not implement server-side support for plaintext network communications.
