Getting started

Reponest speaks standard Git. If you have used GitHub or GitLab, everything here will feel familiar — point your remotes at Reponest and keep working.

1. Create your account

Sign up with a username and password, or use Continue with Google — your account is created automatically on first login.

2. Create a repository

Click the + in the top bar → New repository, give it a name, and choose public or private. Private is the default — your code is yours alone.

3. Push an existing project

cd your-project
git init                       # if it is not a Git repo yet
git add . && git commit -m "First commit"
git remote add origin https://reponest.dev/git/<username>/<repo>.git
git push -u origin main

4. Clone and collaborate

git clone https://reponest.dev/git/<username>/<repo>.git

Invite collaborators from Repository → Settings → Collaborators. Open pull requests for review, track work with issues and milestones, and protect your main branch under Settings → Branches.

Git over SSH

On production, SSH runs on port 2222:

git clone ssh://git@reponest.dev:2222/<username>/<repo>.git

Add your public key under Settings → SSH / GPG Keys. (On the local dev instance SSH is disabled — use HTTPS remotes.)

API

Everything in the UI is scriptable through the REST API. Explore it interactively at https://reponest.dev/git/api/swagger, and create tokens under Settings → Applications.
