Console’s review

What we like

Easily spin up a very lightweight GitHub-style UI & Git backend for self-hosting code. Includes YAML-defined pipelines like GitHub Actions which can run multi-step processes e.g. build, test, deploy. Includes a Pull Request UI and proper Git diffs.

Tradeoffs

Backed by sqlite on disk with no guidance for more robust/production deployments. No dark mode.
