This tool allows you to write and manage blog posts using Gitβ€”the same technology developers use to track codeβ€”but with a simple interface that works like a regular app. + +Follow these steps to get up and running. + +--- + +## 1. Prerequisites + +Before you start, you need two things installed on your computer: + +1. **Git**: [Download and install Git here](https://git-scm.com/downloads). (Choose the default options during installation). +2. **Node.js**: [Download and install Node.js here](https://nodejs.org/). (Choose the "LTS" version). + +--- + +## 2. Installation + +You can install Git CMS directly on your computer or run it using **Docker**. + +### Option A: Direct Installation +1. Open your **Terminal** (on Mac/Linux) or **Command Prompt/PowerShell** (on Windows). +2. Type the following commands one by one: + ```bash + # Download the tool + git clone https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms.git + + # Enter the folder + cd git-cms + + # Install the helper files + npm install + + # Make the 'git-cms' command available everywhere on your computer + npm link + ``` + +### Option B: Using Docker (Recommended for isolation) +If you have [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/) installed, you can run the CMS without installing Node.js: +1. Download the tool: `git clone https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms.git` +2. Enter the folder: `cd git-cms` +3. Run with Docker: `docker compose up app` + *Note: By default, this will save posts inside the `git-cms` folder. See Section 3 to change this.* + +--- + +## 3. Setting Up Your "Content Home" + +Git CMS doesn't save your posts inside the tool itself; it saves them in a "Repository" (a special folder) of your choice. + +1. Create a new folder for your blog posts (e.g., `my-awesome-blog`). +2. Enter that folder in your terminal and "initialize" it: + ```bash + mkdir my-awesome-blog + cd my-awesome-blog + git init + ``` +3. **Crucial Step**: Tell Git CMS to use this folder. You do this by setting an "Environment Variable" named `GIT_CMS_REPO` to the path of this folder. + * **Mac/Linux**: `export GIT_CMS_REPO=/Users/yourname/my-awesome-blog` + * **Windows**: `$env:GIT_CMS_REPO="C:\Users\yourname\my-awesome-blog"` + +--- + +## 4. Running the CMS + +Now you are ready to start the interface! + +1. In your terminal, type: + ```bash + git-cms serve + ``` +2. You will see a message: `[git-cms] Admin UI: http://localhost:4638/` +3. Open your web browser (Chrome, Safari, or Edge) and go to **http://localhost:4638/**. + +--- + +## 5. Writing Your First Post + +1. Click the **+ New Article** button on the left. +2. **Slug**: Enter a short ID for your post (e.g., `my-first-post`). No spaces! +3. **Title**: Enter the title of your article. +4. **Content**: Type your post in the large box. You can use [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/) to add formatting like **bold** or *italics*. +5. Click **Save Draft**. + +### To Make it Public: +When you are happy with your post, click the **Publish** button. This marks the post as "live." + +--- + +## 6. Managing Images and Files + +You can add images to your posts easily: +1. In the editor, click the **Attach File** button at the bottom. +2. Select an image from your computer. +3. Git CMS will "chunk" the image, store it safely in Git, and automatically add the code to your post so the image shows up. + +--- + +## 7.

Core Philosophy: The "Empty Tree" Database +Instead of tracking files on disk, Git CMS treats the Git object store as a NoSQL-style graph database. + +* **Evidence:** `src/lib/git.js` defines the [EMPTY_TREE constant](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/src/lib/git.js#L6) (`4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904`). +* **Implementation:** All content commits are generated using `commit-tree` against this empty tree OID, ensuring the "working tree" of these commits is always empty. See [writeSnapshot in src/lib/git.js](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/src/lib/git.js#L54). +* **NOTE:** + > [!note] + > This architectural decision is not formally documented in the `docs/` folder; it is only described in the `README.md` and visible in the source code logic. + +## 2. Refspace Organization +The CMS partitions the Git namespace to separate drafts, published content, and assets. + +* **Evidence:** The `refFor` helper in [src/lib/git.js](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/src/lib/git.js#L18-L23) defines the structure: + * `refs/_blog/articles/` (Drafts) + * `refs/_blog/published/` (Published) + * `refs/_blog/comments/` (Comments) +* **NOTE:** + > [!note] + > The specific schema for the `refs/_blog` namespace lacks documentation regarding collision prevention or migration strategies. + +## 3. Article Serialization (The "Commit Article" Format) +Articles are stored entirely within Git commit messages using a header/body/trailer format. + +* **Evidence:** [src/lib/parse.js](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/src/lib/parse.js) contains the logic for splitting the commit message into `title`, `body`, and `trailers`. +* **Evidence:** The CLI implementation in [bin/git-cms.js](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/bin/git-cms.js#L17-L21) demonstrates the construction of this message. + +## 4. Asset Management: Git-Native CAS +Assets are handled via a Content Addressable Store (CAS) implemented using Git blobs and manifests. + +* **Chunking Logic:** Files are split into 256KB chunks in [src/lib/chunks.js](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/src/lib/chunks.js#L48). +* **Encryption:** AES-256-GCM encryption is applied if a key is resolved, seen in [encryptBuffer](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/src/lib/chunks.js#L34). +* **Manifests:** The file structure is preserved in a `manifest.json` stored as a Git blob, which is then committed to a chunk-specific ref. See [chunkFileToRef](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/src/lib/chunks.js#L48). +* **NOTE:** + > [!note] + > The chunking and encryption feature is complex but lacks a specification document describing the manifest JSON schema. + +## 5. Secret Management +The project avoids plain-text secrets by integrating with OS-native keychains. + +* **Implementation:** [src/lib/secrets.js](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/src/lib/secrets.js) contains drivers for: + * macOS `security` + * Linux `secret-tool` + * Windows `CredentialManager` +* **Usage:** Used by the CAS system to retrieve the `CHUNK_ENC_KEY` via [resolveSecret](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/src/lib/secrets.js#L206). + +## 6. API and Admin UI +The system provides a zero-dependency management interface. + +* **Server:** [src/server/index.js](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/src/server/index.js) uses Node's `http` module to provide a REST API. +* **UI:** [public/index.html](https://github.com/clduab11/git-cms/blob/main/public/index.html) is a vanilla JS SPA that communicates with the `/api/cms` endpoints. +* **NOTE:** + > [!note] + > The REST API endpoints are not documented with an OpenAPI spec or similar reference. + +## 7.

Introduction & Goals + +### Project Overview + +**git-cms** is a serverless, database-free Content Management System that treats Git's object store as a distributed, cryptographically verifiable document database. Instead of storing content in traditional databases (SQL or NoSQL), it leverages Git's Merkle DAG to create an append-only ledger for articles, metadata, and encrypted assets. + +The fundamental innovation: **`git push` becomes the API endpoint.** + +### Fundamental Requirements + +#### FR-1: Zero-Database Architecture +The system MUST NOT depend on external database systems (SQL, NoSQL, or key-value stores). All persistent state resides within Git's native object store (`.git/objects`). + +**Rationale:** Eliminates operational complexity, deployment dependencies, and schema migration challenges inherent to traditional database-backed CMSs. + +#### FR-2: Cryptographic Verifiability +Every content mutation MUST be recorded as a Git commit with cryptographic integrity guarantees via SHA-1 hashing (with optional GPG signing for non-repudiation). + +**Rationale:** Provides immutable audit trails and tamper detection without additional infrastructure. + +#### FR-3: Fast-Forward Only Publishing +The publish operation MUST enforce strict linear history (fast-forward only) to prevent rewriting published content. + +**Rationale:** Guarantees provenance and prevents content manipulation after publication. + +#### FR-4: Client-Side Encryption +All uploaded assets MUST be encrypted client-side (AES-256-GCM) before touching the repository. + +**Rationale:** Achieves row-level security without database-level access controls. The Git gateway receives only opaque encrypted blobs. + +#### FR-5: Infinite Point-in-Time Recovery +Users MUST be able to access any historical version of any article without data loss. + +**Rationale:** Git's DAG structure provides this naturally; the CMS simply exposes it as a first-class feature. + +### Quality Goals + +| Priority | Quality Attribute | Description | Measurement | +|----------|------------------|-------------|-------------| +| 1 | **Security** | Cryptographic integrity, client-side encryption, signed commits | GPG verification, AES-256-GCM encryption strength | +| 2 | **Simplicity** | Minimal dependencies, no database, composable architecture | Lines of code, dependency count, Docker image size | +| 3 | **Auditability** | Complete provenance of all content changes | Git log completeness, trailer metadata coverage | +| 4 | **Performance** | Sub-second reads for typical blog workloads | Response time for `readArticle()` | +| 5 | **Portability** | Multi-runtime support (Node, Bun, Deno) | Test suite pass rate across runtimes | + +### Non-Goals + +This system is **intentionally NOT designed for**: + +- **High-velocity writes:** Content publishing happens in minutes/hours, not milliseconds. +- **Complex queries:** No SQL-like JOINs or aggregations. Queries are limited to ref enumeration and commit message parsing. +- **Large-scale collaboration:** Designed for single-author or small-team blogs, not Wikipedia-scale editing. +- **Real-time updates:** Publishing is atomic but not instantaneous across distributed clones. + +--- + +## 2. Constraints + +### Technical Constraints + +#### TC-1: Git's Content Addressability Model +Git uses SHA-1 hashing for object addressing. While SHA-1 has known collision vulnerabilities, Git is transitioning to SHA-256. The system assumes SHA-1 is "good enough" for content addressing (not for security-critical signing). + +**Mitigation:** Use GPG signing (`CMS_SIGN=1`) for cryptographic non-repudiation. + +#### TC-2: Filesystem I/O Performance +All Git operations are ultimately filesystem operations. Performance is bounded by disk I/O, especially for large repositories. + +**Mitigation:** Content is stored as commit messages (small), not files (large). Asset chunking (256KB) reduces blob size. + +#### TC-3: POSIX Shell Dependency +The `@git-stunts/plumbing` module executes Git via shell commands (`child_process.spawn`). This requires a POSIX-compliant shell and Git CLI. + +**Mitigation:** All tests run in Docker (Alpine Linux) to ensure consistent environments. + +#### TC-4: No Database Indexes +Traditional databases provide B-tree indexes for fast lookups. Git's ref enumeration is linear (`O(n)` for listing all refs in a namespace). + +**Mitigation:** Use ref namespaces strategically (e.g., `refs/_blog/articles/`) to avoid polluting the global ref space. + +### Regulatory Constraints + +#### RC-1: GDPR Right to Erasure +Git's immutability conflicts with GDPR's "right to be forgotten." Deleting a commit requires rewriting history, which breaks cryptographic integrity. + +**Mitigation:** Use encrypted assets with key rotation. Deleting the encryption key renders historical content unreadable without altering Git history. + +#### RC-2: Cryptographic Export Restrictions +AES-256-GCM encryption may face export restrictions in certain jurisdictions. + +**Mitigation:** The `@git-stunts/vault` module uses Node's built-in `crypto` module, which is widely available. + +### Operational Constraints + +#### OC-1: Single-Writer Assumption +Git's ref updates are atomic *locally* but not across distributed clones. Concurrent writes to the same ref can cause conflicts. + +**Mitigation:** Use **git-stargate** (a companion project) to enforce serialized writes via SSH. + +#### OC-2: Repository Growth +Every draft save creates a new commit. Repositories can grow unbounded over time. + +**Mitigation:** Use `git gc` aggressively. Consider ref pruning for old drafts. + +--- + +## 3.

Solution Strategy + +### Core Architectural Principles + +#### P-1: Composition over Inheritance +The system is built from **five independent "Lego Block" modules** (`@git-stunts/*`), each with a single responsibility. These modules are composed in `CmsService` to create higher-order functionality. + +**Benefit:** Each module can be tested, versioned, and published independently. + +#### P-2: Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters) +The domain layer (`CmsService`) depends on abstractions (`GitPlumbing`, `TrailerCodec`), not implementations. This allows swapping out Git for other backends (e.g., a pure JavaScript implementation for testing). + +**Benefit:** Decouples domain logic from infrastructure concerns. + +#### P-3: Content Addressability +Assets are stored by their SHA-1 hash, enabling automatic deduplication. If two articles reference the same image, it's stored once. + +**Benefit:** Reduces repository bloat. + +#### P-4: Cryptographic Integrity +Every operation produces a cryptographically signed commit (when `CMS_SIGN=1`). The Merkle DAG ensures tamper detection. + +**Benefit:** Audit trails are mathematically verifiable, not just trust-based. + +### Solution Approach: The "Empty Tree" Stunt + +#### The Problem +Traditional CMSs store content in database rows. Git is designed to track *files*, not arbitrary data. Storing blog posts as files (e.g., `posts/hello-world.md`) clutters the working directory and causes merge conflicts. + +#### The Solution +Store content as **commit messages on empty trees**, not as files. Every article is a commit that points to the well-known empty tree (`4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904`). + +**How It Works:** +1. Encode the article (title, body, metadata) into a Git commit message using RFC 822 trailers. +2. Create a commit that points to the empty tree (no files touched). +3. Update a ref (e.g., `refs/_blog/articles/hello-world`) to point to this commit. + +**Result:** The repository's working directory remains clean. All content lives in `.git/objects/` and `.git/refs/`. + +#### Architectural Pattern: Event Sourcing +Each draft save creates a new commit. The "current" article is the ref's tip, but the full history is a linked list of commits. + +**Benefit:** Point-in-time recovery is trivial (`git log refs/_blog/articles/`). + +### Key Design Decisions + +#### D-1: Why Commit Messages, Not Blobs? +**Alternative:** Store articles as Git blobs and reference them via trees. + +**Decision:** Use commit messages. + +**Rationale:** +- Commits have parent pointers (enabling version history). +- Commits support GPG signing (enabling non-repudiation). +- Blobs are opaque; commit messages are human-readable. + +#### D-2: Why Trailers, Not JSON in Commit Messages? +**Alternative:** Store `{"title": "Hello", "body": "..."}` as the commit message. + +**Decision:** Use RFC 822 trailers (inspired by Linux kernel `Signed-off-by` footers). + +**Rationale:** +- Trailers are Git-native (supported by `git interpret-trailers`). +- They're human-readable and diff-friendly. +- Backward parser is more efficient than Git's own parser. + +#### D-3: Why Encrypt Assets, Not Entire Repos? +**Alternative:** Use `git-crypt` to encrypt the entire repository. + +**Decision:** Encrypt individual assets client-side. + +**Rationale:** +- `git-crypt` requires shared keys across all collaborators. +- Client-side encryption enables row-level access control (different keys for different assets). +- The gateway (git-stargate) never sees plaintext. + +--- + +## 5.

Over time, `.git/objects/` grows unbounded. + +**Impact:** Slow clones, high disk usage. + +**Mitigation:** +1. **Aggressive GC:** Run `git gc --aggressive` weekly. +2. **Ref Pruning:** Delete old draft refs (keep only last N versions). +3. **Shallow Clones:** Readers use `git clone --depth=1`. + +**Technical Debt:** No automated pruning implemented yet. + +**Status:** Unresolved. + +--- + +### Risk 3: Concurrent Write Conflicts + +**Severity:** Medium +**Likelihood:** Medium (multi-author blogs) + +**Description:** Git's CAS (compare-and-swap) is per-ref, not global. Two authors can create conflicting drafts. + +**Impact:** Lost updates, user frustration. + +**Mitigation:** +1. **git-stargate:** Serialize writes via SSH (single-writer gateway). +2. **Retry Logic:** Client retries `updateRef` on conflict. + +**Technical Debt:** No retry logic in CmsService. + +**Status:** Partially mitigated. + +--- + +### Risk 4: Commit Message Size Limit + +**Severity:** Low +**Likelihood:** Low + +**Description:** Git's `commit-tree` buffers messages in memory (~100KB limit). + +**Impact:** Very long articles (>50,000 words) may fail to save. + +**Mitigation:** Split long articles into multiple parts (e.g., chapters). + +**Technical Debt:** No validation of message size. + +**Status:** Accepted risk. + +--- + +### Risk 5: GDPR Right to Erasure + +**Severity:** High (for EU users) +**Likelihood:** Medium + +**Description:** Git's immutability conflicts with GDPR Article 17 (right to be forgotten). + +**Impact:** Cannot delete historical commits without rewriting history (breaks Merkle DAG). + +**Mitigation:** +1. **Encryption:** Delete encryption key instead of commits. +2. **Legal:** Argue "legitimate interest" (journalistic records). + +**Technical Debt:** No automated key rotation. + +**Status:** Legal review pending. + +--- + +### Technical Debt Summary + +| Item | Priority | Effort | Impact | +|------|---------|--------|--------| +| Implement automated ref pruning | High | Medium | Reduces repo growth | +| Add retry logic to CmsService | Medium | Low | Improves concurrency | +| Validate commit message size | Low | Low | Prevents edge-case failures | +| Migrate to SHA-256 | Low | High | Future-proofs cryptography | +| Build external index for `listArticles` | Medium | High | Scales to 10,000+ articles | + +--- + +## 12. Glossary + +### A + +**AES-256-GCM:** Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit keys in Galois/Counter Mode. Provides authenticated encryption (confidentiality + integrity). + +**Append-Only Ledger:** A data structure where records can only be added, never modified or deleted. Git's commit history is an append-only ledger. + +**Atomic Operation:** An operation that either completes fully or not at all (no partial states). Git's `update-ref` is atomic at the ref level. + +### B + +**Bare Repository:** A Git repository without a working directory (only `.git/` contents). Used for servers/gateways. + +**Blob:** A Git object type storing raw file content. Identified by SHA-1 hash of content. + +### C + +**CAS (Compare-and-Swap):** A concurrency primitive ensuring a value is updated only if it matches an expected old value. Git's `update-ref` uses CAS semantics. + +**CAS (Content-Addressable Store):** A storage system where data is retrieved by its cryptographic hash, not by location. Git is a CAS. + +**Chunking:** Splitting large files into fixed-size pieces (e.g., 256KB). Enables streaming and deduplication. + +**Commit:** A Git object representing a snapshot of the repository at a point in time. Contains tree, parent(s), author, message. + +**Ciphertext:** Encrypted data. Unreadable without the decryption key. + +### D + +**DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph):** A graph with directed edges and no cycles. Git's commit history is a DAG (parent pointers form edges). + +**Draft:** An unpublished version of an article, stored at `refs/_blog/articles/`. + +### E + +**Empty Tree:** Git's canonical empty tree object (`4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904`). Points to no files. + +**Event Sourcing:** An architectural pattern where state changes are stored as a sequence of events. Git commits are events. + +### F + +**Fast-Forward:** A Git merge where the target ref simply moves forward (no merge commit). Requires linear history. + +### G + +**GPG (GNU Privacy Guard):** Open-source implementation of OpenPGP. Used for signing Git commits. + +### H + +**Hexagonal Architecture:** A software design pattern separating domain logic from infrastructure (also called "Ports and Adapters"). + +**HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code):** A cryptographic construction for verifying integrity and authenticity. + +### I + +**Immutability:** Property of data that cannot be changed after creation. Git objects are immutable (identified by hash of content). + +### K + +**Keychain:** OS-level secure storage for secrets (passwords, encryption keys). Examples: macOS Keychain, GNOME Keyring. + +### L + +**Lego Block:** In this project, an independent `@git-stunts/*` module with a single responsibility (plumbing, codec, CAS, vault, empty-graph). + +### M + +**Merkle DAG:** A Directed Acyclic Graph where each node is identified by a cryptographic hash of its contents and children. Git's object model is a Merkle DAG. + +**Manifest:** A metadata structure describing chunked file layout. Contains OIDs, IVs, and auth tags for encrypted chunks. + +### N + +**Namespace:** A prefix for Git refs to avoid collisions. Example: `refs/_blog/articles/` vs `refs/_blog/published/`. + +**Non-Repudiation:** Property where the author of a message cannot deny authorship. Achieved via GPG signing. + +### O + +**OID (Object Identifier):** Git's SHA-1 hash of an object (commit, tree, blob, tag). + +**Orphan Branch:** A Git branch with no parent commits (disconnected from main history). + +### P + +**Plumbing:** Git's low-level commands (`commit-tree`, `update-ref`) vs. high-level "porcelain" commands (`commit`, `push`). + +**Porcelain:** Git's user-friendly commands (`commit`, `push`, `pull`) built on top of plumbing. + +**Provenance:** The origin and history of an artifact. Git provides cryptographic provenance via commit chains. + +**Published:** An article visible to readers, stored at `refs/_blog/published/`. + +### R + +**Ref (Reference):** A pointer to a commit (e.g., `refs/heads/main`, `refs/tags/v1.0`). + +**RFC 822:** Internet Message Format standard. Used for email headers and Git trailers. + +### S + +**SHA-1:** Secure Hash Algorithm 1. Produces 160-bit (40-character hex) hashes.
