Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

OwnGit

OwnGit is a self-hosted Git server for home labs and local machines. It keeps private repositories and their history on your own computer, NAS, or home server, with a browser dashboard for everyday use. Repositories remain ordinary bare Git repositories served by the Git installation on the host.

This package installs OwnGit 1.1.4 and the owngit command. It supports macOS on Apple silicon, Linux on x64, Linux on ARM64, and Windows on x64.

npm install -g owngit
owngit serve

The host also needs Git with an executable git-http-backend.

The OwnGit executable comes from a platform package that npm installs as an optional dependency, such as owngit-darwin-arm64. If npm left it out, for example with --omit=optional in a project install, or if your platform has no package, the owngit command reports this and lists the supported platforms.

Node.js 18 or newer is needed to install this package and to start the owngit command, a small launcher that runs the OwnGit executable with the same arguments. OwnGit itself does not use Node. The other installation routes, such as Homebrew or the portable archives, need no Node.

Two limits apply to the launcher. A server started with nohup owngit serve & still stops when the terminal or SSH session closes. A SIGINT sent only to the launcher, for example Ctrl+C in docker run without -t, does not stop the server; SIGTERM does. To keep a server running, use a service manager such as launchd or systemd, install with Homebrew and use brew services, or run the executable from the platform package or a release archive directly.

See the project README for setup, access, and the other installation routes.
