Is Gitit actively maintained?
Gitit is under active development: 17 commits landed over the last 11 months, averaging roughly 5 commits a month in the most recent quarter.
Activity is accelerating: the last quarter carried 1300% more commits than the one before it.
No tagged releases are published, so there is no stable version to pin to — you would deploy from the default branch or a container image built from it.
Gitit ranks #15 of 24 tracked wikis projects. Several better-maintained options exist in the same category — they are listed below.
What Gitit actually does
Gitit is a wiki engine that backs all of its pages and uploaded files with a Git repository. You can edit content either through the built-in web interface or directly on the filesystem using standard version control command-line tools.
Best fit: A good fit for technical users who prefer managing their documentation via Git workflows rather than traditional relational databases.
Worth knowing: Development activity is slowing down and the lack of recent tagged releases may pose security or maintenance concerns for long-term production use.
Deployment notes
As a Haskell application, it typically requires persistent storage for the underlying Git repository and a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
