GmGitView: Git Repository Viewer for Gemini

I made a Git repository viewer for Gemini. It's written in Python and requires a recent version of pyOpenSSL.

The motivation was that occasionally I've needed to link from my capsule to files in my Git repositories, and that has required HTTPS links.

🌐Here's the index of all the available git.skyjake.fi repositories.

Features

View commits, history, tags, and file content
Repository README is shown on the main page
Commit lists and tags are in Gemini subscription format
User can select the viewed branch
View commits as email-formatted patches or colored diffs
File tree viewer
Markdown files converted to Gemtext for viewing
All pages are cached for better performance

Future plans

This was written rather quickly in a couple of days, so there's probably some bugs to fix and features that would be nice to have. One thing that might be interesting is making the pages configurable with templates, so one could use this as a server to host their capsule directly from a Git repository.
