# Opengist
<img height="108px" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomiceli/opengist/master/public/opengist.svg" alt="Opengist" align="right" />
Opengist is a **self-hosted** pastebin **powered by Git**. All snippets are stored in a Git repository and can be
read and/or modified using standard Git commands, or with the web interface.
It is similiar to [GitHub Gist](https://gist.github.com/), but open-source and could be self-hosted.
Written in [Go](https://go.dev), Opengist aims to be fast and easy to deploy.
## Features
* Create public, unlisted or private snippets
* [Init](usage/init-via-git.md) / Clone / Pull / Push snippets **via Git** over HTTP or SSH
* Syntax highlighting ; markdown & CSV support
* Search code in snippets ; browse users snippets, likes and forks
* Embed snippets in other websites
* Revisions history
* Like / Fork snippets
* Editor with indentation mode & size ; drag and drop files
* Download raw files or as a ZIP archive
* Retrieve snippet data/metadata via a JSON API
* OAuth2 login with GitHub, GitLab, Gitea, and OpenID Connect

* Restrict or unrestrict snippets visibility to anonymous users
* Admin panel :

* clean database/filesystem by syncing gists
* run `git gc` for all repositories
* SQLite database

## System requirements
[Git](https://git-scm.com/download) is obviously required to run Opengist, as it's the main feature of the app.
Version **2.28** or later is recommended as the app has not been tested with older Git versions and some features would not work.
[OpenSSH](https://www.openssh.com/) suite if you wish to use Git over SSH.
