About this codebase
`repo` is a Go-based code hosting and repository services backend that ingests repository content (via filesystem/Git/LFS workflows), transforms it through indexing, routing, and background service pipelines, and produces served HTTP/API responses plus persisted state (database models) and web UI assets.
Written by gpt-5.4-nano from the index
3,783 files and 21,638 symbols in 12 modules, led by Go (2,978 files) and TypeScript (223).
Code health
This codebase scores 7.4 out of 10 for code health, which we rate good. It also scores maintainability 8.3 and static performance 9.8 out of 10. The three are scored separately and never blended into one number. Risk is concentrated, as it usually is: 218 of 3,783 files are git hotspots, and they average 4.5 — which is where the fixes pay off most.

Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD This page is a map of the go-gitea/gitea repository, written primarily in Go, rebuilt from the source each time it is indexed. Repowise parses every symbol, computes a dependency graph, scores per-file code health from complexity, duplication, test coverage and churn, mines git history for hotspots and ownership, and lifts the architectural decisions into documentation you can read here or query through MCP.
The codebase has 3,783 files and 21,638 symbols in 12 modules, led by Go, TypeScript and Shell. Code health is 7.4 out of 10, rated good.
