Repository features
Repository features
Browsing, branches, tags and releases, forks, Git LFS, quotas, code search and signatures.
Each lesson is one feature built on the Storage and Access chapters. Read them in any order.
Browsing code
Trees, files, history and the indexes that make a repository page fast.
Branches, tags and releases
Ref-only pushes from the API, tags that live only in git, and releases that live only in rows.
Forks
How a fork gets its own log, and what it costs.
Git LFS
The batch API under the clone URL, per-repository objects, verified uploads, and locks.
Storage and quotas
Four kinds of usage, summed from rows, reserved under an advisory lock.
Code search
Zoekt shards built by the API, published through the bucket, served by a stateless node.
Signatures and contributions
Verified badges checked on read, Ghost's own signing key, and the contribution graph.
