Private Repository Boundary

By Daniel Ensminger

Private Repository Boundary

GitGrid Apply uses a narrow write boundary.

  • One private repository created specifically for GitGrid.
  • No writes to existing repositories.
  • No edits, rewrites, or deletions outside that repository.
  • Historical application and the saved future preview remain separate choices.

The GitHub App creates the repository from the public GitGrid template, saves the versioned configuration under .gitgrid/config.json, and applies the selected history through today. GitHub currently requires account-wide repository access because an App cannot be installed against zero selected repositories before the new repo exists; GitGrid's code still writes only to the repo it creates. It does not install recurring automation.

Free to use

Configure locally. Apply when it looks right.

GitGrid creates one private repository and applies the history you choose through today. No subscription or recurring automation is installed.
