GiGot — A Sync Server for Formidable

What it is

GiGot is a small server that gives Formidable an optional place to clone, push, and pull templates and context. Formidable itself stays local-first, GiGot just sits behind it and syncs over the standard Git smart-HTTP protocol.

You can run it two ways: as a standalone single binary with its own auth and admin UI, or behind an API gateway like Azure API Management. Either way, request and response bodies are sealed on the application layer with NaCl (curve25519 + XSalsa20 + Poly1305), so even a gateway that terminates TLS can’t read your payloads.

Who it’s for

Anyone running Formidable across multiple machines, teams, or clients who wants a private, self-hosted sync option instead of relying on GitHub. If you care about keeping your templates and audit trail in your own infrastructure, GiGot is built for that.

It’s open source and in active development. Track it at github.com/petervdpas/GiGot.
