## What it is
GitList is a self-hosted PHP web application for browsing multiple git repositories through a browser. Built on Symfony and Twig, it shows files across revisions, commit history, diffs, blame, statistics, and RSS/Atom feeds.

## Use cases
- self-host a web interface for my git repositories
- browse git repos in a browser without GitHub
- view commit history and diffs for local repositories
- generate RSS feeds for repository changes
- lightweight alternative to GitLab for repo browsing
- view files at different revisions with syntax highlighting

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, read-only git repository viewer you can host yourself
- you have PHP and a webserver already and want simple installation
- you need to browse many repositories, branches, and tags in one interface

## When to avoid
- you need pull requests, issues, or code review features
- you don't want to run PHP 8.4 and a webserver
- you need write access or user management for repositories

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, templating, developer-tools, version-control
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, web-development, self-hosted
