surgite

Standup summaries from your git history — in the browser, in the terminal, or as a shareable link.

The web app gives your team a shared dashboard: per-user repos, per-user prompt settings, AI-written summaries, and shareable links to specific summary views. The CLI does the same for a local repo, no server needed. First-party auth, no third-party tracking.

Lean principles: ~17 Python source files, one binary, no SPA framework, no slowapi, no Celery, no Redis. Reads like a script.

Quickstart

Two paths. Pick one.

The web app — three commands, full team dashboard:

git clone https://github.com/nicoleman0/surgite.git
cd surgite
cp .env.example .env       # set BOOTSTRAP_OWNER_EMAIL=you@example.com
docker compose up -d

That builds the image from the checkout. To pull the published one instead of building, uncomment APP_IMAGE=ghcr.io/nicoleman0/surgite:latest in .env.

On first start the app mints an admin invite and logs the token; redeem it with uv run surgite --redeem-invite <token> --email you@example.com and you're in. Full guide: docs/self-host.md.

One-off summary from a local repo — no database, no server:

pip install surgite         # or: uv tool install surgite
surgite /path/to/your/repo --since 7.days.ago

The PyPI wheel ships the surgite package — the CLI and the API code. The web frontend and the alembic migrations are not in the wheel; the full self-hosted stack installs from the repo or the Docker image (see docs/self-host.md).

Add --summarize to get AI-written prose (set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY first).

Demo

The dashboard, with terminal-aesthetic chrome, a sample repo's commit log, and a streamed AI summary panel. See docs/self-host.md for the deployment walkthrough.

What you get

• Web dashboard — per-user repos, prompt settings, summary history, share links, admin user management (/admin/users). Email + password login with __Host- session cookies.
• CLI — surgite /path/to/repo for a local one-off, surgite --registered <name> to pull from a running API, surgite --login to authenticate, surgite --summarize for AI-written prose.
• Per-user provider keys — each user brings their own Anthropic / Groq / DeepSeek key. Fernet-encrypted at rest, never returned by the API.
• Self-hosted models — point LOCAL_BASE_URL at any server speaking the OpenAI chat API (vLLM, Ollama, LM Studio, LiteLLM) to keep summaries on your own network. LLM_LOCAL_ONLY=1 drops the hosted providers entirely.
• Shareable summary links — POST /summaries mints a /s/{slug} URL that re-runs a saved query in a read-only view. Owner-scoped in multi-user mode.

Why?

• Multi-user — email + password login, per-user repos and summaries, per-user provider keys. (The 0.5.0 headline.)
• Self-hostable — your data, your auth, your machine. No SaaS account, no vendor lock-in. Runs on a homelab box, a small VM, a Raspberry Pi, or a Kubernetes cluster — same code path.
• No telemetry — first-party auth, no analytics, no phone-home.
• Lean — FastAPI + Postgres + SvelteKit, the whole thing reads top-to-bottom.

Development

uv sync --group dev                 # install deps (incl. dev tools)
docker compose up -d db             # Postgres for local dev
uv run alembic upgrade head         # run migrations
uv run uvicorn surgite.api:app --reload
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev
uv run pytest                       # tests
uv run ruff check . && uv run ruff format --check .   # lint + format
