Cgit
Fast lightweight web interface for git repositories.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.
Activity data
Not available for this project. Our source collects commit history from GitHub only, and Cgit is developed elsewhere.

Is Cgit actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. Cgit is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at git.zx2c4.com — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What Cgit actually does
Cgit provides a rapid web-based interface for browsing source code repositories stored in Git. Written in C, it serves as a minimalist alternative to heavier forge software when you need to inspect commits, branches, and file trees via a browser. It focuses purely on displaying repository contents efficiently rather than managing issues or pull requests.
Best fit: It suits administrators who want to host a fast, low-resource mirror or browser for Git repositories without running a heavy application stack.
Worth knowing: You should note that it lacks built-in project management tools like issue trackers and pull requests, meaning it only covers code viewing.
Deployment notes
As a compiled C application, it typically runs behind a CGI-capable web server like Nginx or Apache, requiring persistent disk access to your bare Git repositories.
