Rules

Git Glimpse allows registered users to generate public, read-only snapshots of private GitHub repositories for easy sharing.

It is not a backup service and does not provide Git history.

• Only the default branch (latest state) is included
• Submodules are not supported
• Only files present at build time are included
• All content becomes publicly accessible via the generated link.

Snapshots are publicly accessible to anyone with the link

No authentication is required to view shared content

Do not upload repositories containing secrets or sensitive data

The service does not scan for secrets

You are fully responsible for the content you share.

Per repository build:

• Maximum repository size: 100 MB
• Maximum file size (included): 10 MB
• Maximum files: 10,000
• Maximum directories: 5,000
• Maximum directory depth: 20
• Maximum clone time: 30 seconds
• Maximum scan time: 10 seconds
• Maximum render time: 20 seconds

Files exceeding limits may be skipped or cause the build to fail.

Forbidden File Types:

Repositories cannot include the following special file types:

• Symbolic links
• FIFO/Named pipes
• Character devices
• Block devices
• Sockets

Attempting to add these will result in a build error.

A repository snapshot remains available as long as the owner's account is active.

Accounts are flagged inactive after 90 days of inactivity; user will recieve a warning email.

After 97 days, repositories are marked hidden and become inaccessible.

Account removal deletes all associated repository data.

Snapshots are created only when the owner triggers a build

Content does not update automatically when the source repository changes

Each build replaces the previous snapshot

You agree not to use Git Glimpse to share:

• Illegal content
• Malware or exploit code intended for harm
• Content you do not have the right to distribute
• Personal data without consent

Accounts violating these rules may be suspended and data removed.

Access to private repositories is performed using user-provided deploy keys

Keys are stored encrypted and used only for cloning

The service operates in an isolated build environment

Git Glimpse is provided as-is without guarantees of:

• Availability
• Data durability
• Fitness for any particular purpose

Always keep your own backups.
