Install¶

git-board is one binary: the command line, a terminal UI, a web server and its web app inside. Installed as git-board on your PATH, git also runs it as git board.

From a clone¶

git clone https://github.com/guilbep/git-board.git
cd git-board
make install-latest          # the latest release's binary, checksum checked (needs gh)
# or
make install                 # build it here: needs Go 1.26+ and Node 22.12+
git-board --version

make install builds the web app first, as its pages are embedded in the binary. make alone lists every target.

What it needs¶

• git, on the PATH. That's all for issues, the web UI, the views, the sync with GitHub and GitLab, and Markdown export and import.
• A token for each forge you sync with, kept by git's credential helper or in GITHUB_TOKEN / GITLAB_TOKEN: see Working as a team › Forges.

Some features need more, and only those features:

Shell completion¶

git-board completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_git-board"   # zsh
git-board completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/git-board
git-board completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/git-board.fish
