Package: gittuf (0.12.0-1)

security layer for Git repositories (program)

gittuf is a security layer for Git repositories. With gittuf, any developer who can pull from a Git repository can independently verify that the repository's security policies were followed. gittuf's policy, inspired by The Update Framework (TUF) (https://theupdateframework.io/), handles key management for all trusted developers in a repository, allows for setting permissions for repository branches, tags, files, etc., protects against other attacks (https://ssl.engineering.nyu.edu/papers/torres_toto_usenixsec-2016.pdf) Git is vulnerable to, and more — all while being backwards compatible with forges such as GitHub and GitLab.

gittuf is currently in alpha. gittuf's metadata may have breaking changes, meaning a repository's gittuf policy may have to be reinitialized from time to time. As such, gittuf is currently not intended to be the primary mechanism for enforcing a repository's security.

That said, we're actively seeking feedback from users. Take a look at the get started guide (/docs/get-started.md) to learn how to install and try gittuf out!

This package contains the command-line gittuf tool.
