25 132
26## Reading Guide 133See [Diátaxis documentation](https://diataxis.fr/) for more guidance.
27 134
28### If you want to understand the architecture decision: 135---
291. Read [REVIEW_SUMMARY.md](../REVIEW_SUMMARY.md) - Executive summary
302. Read [DECISION_SUMMARY.md](DECISION_SUMMARY.md) - Detailed rationale
313. Skim [COMPARISON.md](COMPARISON.md) - See how we differ from reference
32 136
33### If you want to implement: 137## 📊 Project Status
341. Read [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) - Component design and code structure
352. Read [TEST_STRATEGY.md](TEST_STRATEGY.md) - Testing approach and compliance tool
363. Read [GIT_PROTOCOL.md](GIT_PROTOCOL.md) - Git protocol details
374. Review code examples in ARCHITECTURE.md
38 138
39### If you want to deploy: 139**ALPHA** - Under active development. Core functionality working, API may change.
401. Read [README.md](../README.md) - Quick start
412. Review [.env.example](../.env.example) - Configuration
423. See deployment section in [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md)
43 140
44### If you're comparing with ngit-relay: 141### Completed
451. Read [COMPARISON.md](COMPARISON.md) - Detailed comparison 142- ✅ grasp-audit compliance testing tool
462. See architecture diagrams in both COMPARISON.md and ARCHITECTURE.md 143- ✅ Nix flake development environment
144- ✅ nostr-sdk 0.43 upgrade
145- ✅ Documentation restructure (Diátaxis)
47 146
48## Key Concepts 147### In Progress
148- 🔄 Core ngit-grasp server implementation
149- 🔄 GRASP-01 compliance
49 150
50### Inline Authorization 151### Planned
51The core architectural decision: we validate Git pushes **inside the HTTP handler** before spawning Git, rather than using Git's pre-receive hooks. 152- 🔜 GRASP-02 (Proactive Sync)
153- 🔜 GRASP-05 (Archive)
52 154
53**Benefits:** 155---
54- Better error messages (HTTP responses vs. hook stderr)
55- Simpler deployment (no hook management)
56- Easier testing (pure Rust)
57- Better performance (skip Git for invalid pushes)
58 156
59### GRASP Protocol 157## 🔗 External Links
60Git Relays Authorized via Signed-Nostr Proofs - a protocol for hosting Git repositories with Nostr-based authorization.
61 158
62**Key Points:** 159- [GRASP Protocol Specification](https://gitworkshop.dev/danconwaydev.com/grasp)
63- Repository announcements (NIP-34 kind 30317) 160- [NIP-34 (Git Stuff)](https://nips.nostr.com/34)
64- State announcements (NIP-34 kind 30318) 161- [Diátaxis Framework](https://diataxis.fr/)
65- Multi-maintainer support via recursive maintainer sets 162- [rust-nostr Documentation](https://docs.rs/nostr-sdk/)
66- Push validation against signed state events
67 163
68### Technology Stack 164---
69- **actix-web**: HTTP server
70- **git-http-backend**: Git protocol handling (Rust crate)
71- **nostr-relay-builder**: Nostr relay infrastructure (rust-nostr)
72- **tokio**: Async runtime
73 165
74## Status 166*Documentation structure based on [Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/)*
75 167*Last updated: November 4, 2025*
76**ALPHA** - Architecture design complete, implementation not yet started.

192## For Content Authors
193
194### Creating New Documentation
195
196**Ask yourself:**
197
1981. **"Can you teach me to...?"**
199 - → Tutorial (`docs/tutorials/`)
200 - Example: "Can you teach me to deploy ngit-grasp?"
201
2022. **"How do I...?"**
203 - → How-To (`docs/how-to/`)
204 - Example: "How do I configure rate limiting?"
205
2063. **"What is...?"**
207 - → Reference (`docs/reference/`)
208 - Example: "What is the NGIT_DOMAIN variable?"
209
2104. **"Why...?"**
211 - → Explanation (`docs/explanation/`)
212 - Example: "Why use Rust instead of Go?"
213
214### Quick Decision Tree
215
216```
217Is it teaching a beginner from scratch?
218├─ YES → Tutorial
219└─ NO
220 └─ Is it solving a specific problem?
221 ├─ YES → How-To
222 └─ NO
223 └─ Is it factual/technical information?
224 ├─ YES → Reference
225 └─ NO → Explanation

1# Explanation: Inline Authorization
2
3**Purpose:** Understand why ngit-grasp validates Git pushes inline rather than using Git hooks
4**Audience:** Developers and architects wanting to understand design decisions
5
6---
7
8## The Problem
9
10Git hosting with authorization requires validating pushes before accepting them. The question is: **where** should this validation happen?
11
12Two approaches exist:
13
141. **Git Hooks** (traditional): Use Git's pre-receive hook mechanism
152. **Inline Authorization** (our approach): Validate before spawning Git
16
17This document explains why we chose inline authorization and what benefits it provides.
18
19---
20
21## Background: How Git Hooks Work
22
23Git provides a **pre-receive hook** that runs during `git push`:
24
25```
26Client Server
27 | |
28 |--- git push ----->|
29 | |--- spawn git-receive-pack
30 | |
31 | |--- pre-receive hook runs
32 | | (reads stdin: old new ref)
33 | | (exit 0 = accept, 1 = reject)
34 | |
35 |<--- success ------| (if hook exits 0)
36 |<--- error --------| (if hook exits 1)
37```
38
39**Pros:**
40- Standard Git mechanism
41- Language-agnostic (hook can be any executable)
42- Well-documented
43
44**Cons:**
45- Hook output goes to stderr (client sees as `remote:` messages)
46- Hard to provide structured error messages
47- Requires hook installation and management
48- Difficult to test (needs Git repository setup)
49- Hook runs *after* Git has started processing
50
51---
52
53## Background: How Inline Authorization Works
54
55With inline authorization, we validate **before** spawning Git:
56
57```
58Client Server (ngit-grasp)
59 | |
60 |--- git push ----->|--- HTTP handler receives request
61 | |
62 | |--- Parse ref updates from request
63 | |--- Query Nostr relay for state
64 | |--- Validate push against state
65 | |
66 | |--- If invalid: return HTTP error
67 | |--- If valid: spawn git-receive-pack
68 | |
69 |<--- success ------| (if valid)
70 |<--- HTTP error ---| (if invalid)
71```
72
73**Pros:**
74- Full control over error messages (HTTP response)
75- Can skip spawning Git entirely for invalid pushes
76- Easier testing (pure Rust, no Git setup needed)
77- Shared state between Git and Nostr components
78- Better performance (early rejection)
79
80**Cons:**
81- Requires parsing Git protocol ourselves
82- Less standard than hooks
83- Tighter coupling to Git HTTP protocol
84
85---
86
87## Why Inline Authorization Is Better for GRASP
88
89### 1. Better Error Messages
90
91**With hooks:**
92```
93$ git push
94remote: error: Push rejected - not authorized for ref refs/heads/main
95remote: See https://docs.gitnostr.com/errors/unauthorized
96To https://gitnostr.com/alice/myrepo.git
97 ! [remote rejected] main -> main (pre-receive hook declined)
98```
99
100**With inline authorization:**
101```
102$ git push
103error: RPC failed; HTTP 403 Forbidden
104error: {
105 "error": "unauthorized",
106 "ref": "refs/heads/main",
107 "required_state": "event_id_abc123",
108 "your_pubkey": "npub1alice...",
109 "docs": "https://docs.gitnostr.com/errors/unauthorized"
110}
111```
112
113The inline approach can return **structured JSON** with actionable information.
114
115### 2. Performance Benefits
116
117**With hooks:**
118- Git process spawns
119- Git starts receiving pack data
120- Hook runs (might query Nostr relay)
121- If rejected, Git throws away received data
122
123**With inline authorization:**
124- Parse ref updates from HTTP request
125- Validate against Nostr state (cached)
126- If rejected, return HTTP 403 immediately
127- Never spawn Git for invalid pushes
128
129**Result:** Faster rejection, less resource usage.
130
131### 3. Easier Testing
132
133**With hooks:**
134```bash
135# Test setup
136mkdir -p /tmp/test-repo
137cd /tmp/test-repo
138git init --bare
139cp pre-receive.sh hooks/pre-receive
140chmod +x hooks/pre-receive
141
142# Test execution
143git push /tmp/test-repo main
144
145# Cleanup
146rm -rf /tmp/test-repo
147```
148
149**With inline authorization:**
150```rust
151#[tokio::test]
152async fn test_unauthorized_push() {
153 let state = create_test_state().await;
154 let result = validate_push(&state, "refs/heads/main", alice_pubkey).await;
155 assert!(result.is_err());
156}
157```
158
159**Result:** Pure Rust unit tests, no shell scripts, no Git setup.
160
161### 4. Shared State and Types
162
163**With hooks:**
164- Hook is separate process
165- Must query Nostr relay over WebSocket
166- Can't share in-memory cache
167- Separate error types
168
169**With inline authorization:**
170```rust
171pub struct GitHandler {
172 nostr_relay: Arc<NostrRelay>, // Shared!
173 state_cache: Arc<StateCache>, // Shared!
174}
175
176impl GitHandler {
177 async fn validate_push(&self, refs: &[RefUpdate]) -> Result<()> {
178 // Direct access to Nostr state
179 let state = self.state_cache.get_latest().await?;
180 // Validate using shared types
181 state.validate_refs(refs)?;
182 Ok(())
183 }
184}
185```
186
187**Result:** Better performance, type safety, simpler architecture.
188
189### 5. Simpler Deployment
190
191**With hooks (ngit-relay):**
192```
193Docker container:
194 - nginx (HTTP frontend)
195 - git-http-backend (C binary)
196 - pre-receive hook (Go binary)
197 - Khatru relay (Go binary)
198 - supervisord (process manager)
199
200Setup steps:
201 1. Install all components
202 2. Configure nginx
203 3. Install hook in each repository
204 4. Set up supervisord
205 5. Configure inter-process communication
206```
207
208**With inline authorization (ngit-grasp):**
209```
210Single Rust binary:
211 - HTTP server (actix-web)
212 - Git protocol handler
213 - Nostr relay
214 - Authorization logic
215
216Setup steps:
217 1. Run binary
218 2. Configure environment variables
219```
220
221**Result:** Simpler deployment, fewer moving parts.
222

224
225## Technical Implementation
226
227### How We Parse Ref Updates
228
229The Git HTTP protocol sends ref updates in the request body:
230
231```
232POST /alice/myrepo.git/git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1
233Content-Type: application/x-git-receive-pack-request
234
2350000000000000000000000000000000000000000 abc123... refs/heads/main\0 report-status
236```
237
238We parse this **before** spawning Git:
239
240```rust
241pub async fn git_receive_pack(
242 req: HttpRequest,
243 body: web::Bytes,
244) -> Result<HttpResponse, Error> {
245 // 1. Parse ref updates from request body
246 let ref_updates = parse_ref_updates(&body)?;
247
248 // 2. Validate against Nostr state
249 let state = get_latest_state(&repo).await?;
250 validate_push(&state, &ref_updates).await?;
251
252 // 3. If valid, spawn git-receive-pack
253 spawn_git_receive_pack(req, body).await
254}
255```
256
257### How We Validate
258
259Validation checks:
2601. Does pusher's pubkey have write access?
2612. Are they listed as a maintainer in the latest state event?
2623. Do maintainer sets form a valid chain?
263
264```rust
265async fn validate_push(
266 state: &RepoState,
267 refs: &[RefUpdate],
268) -> Result<()> {
269 for ref_update in refs {
270 // Check if pusher is authorized for this ref
271 if !state.is_authorized(&ref_update.name, pusher_pubkey) {
272 return Err(Error::Unauthorized {
273 ref_name: ref_update.name.clone(),
274 pubkey: pusher_pubkey,
275 });
276 }
277 }
278 Ok(())
279}
280```
281
282---
283
284## Comparison with Reference Implementation
285
286| Aspect | ngit-relay (hooks) | ngit-grasp (inline) |
287|--------|-------------------|---------------------|
288| **Components** | nginx + git-http-backend + hook + Khatru | Single Rust binary |
289| **Validation** | Pre-receive hook (separate process) | Inline HTTP handler |
290| **Error messages** | Hook stderr → `remote:` | HTTP response JSON |
291| **Performance** | Spawns Git first | Validates first |
292| **Testing** | Shell scripts + Go tests | Pure Rust tests |
293| **Deployment** | Docker + supervisord | Single binary |
294| **State sharing** | WebSocket query | Direct memory access |
295
296Both are GRASP-compliant, but inline authorization is simpler and more efficient.
297
298---
299
300## Trade-offs and Limitations
301
302### What We Gain
303- ✅ Better error messages
304- ✅ Better performance
305- ✅ Easier testing
306- ✅ Simpler deployment
307- ✅ Tighter integration
308
309### What We Lose
310- ❌ Non-standard approach (not using Git's hook system)
311- ❌ Tighter coupling to Git HTTP protocol
312- ❌ Must parse protocol ourselves
313
314### Is It Worth It?
315
316**Yes**, because:
3171. The `git-http-backend` crate handles protocol parsing
3182. GRASP is already non-standard (Nostr authorization)
3193. Benefits far outweigh the coupling cost
3204. We can still add hook support later if needed
321
322---
323
324## Alternative Considered: Hybrid Approach
325
326We could use **both** inline validation and hooks:
327
328```rust
329// Inline: Fast path for common cases
330if !quick_validate(pusher).await? {
331 return Err(Error::Unauthorized);
332}
333
334// Hook: Detailed validation
335spawn_git_with_hook().await?;
336```
337
338**Why we didn't choose this:**
339- Added complexity
340- Redundant validation
341- Slower (two validation steps)
342- Harder to maintain
343
344If inline validation is sufficient, why add hooks?
345
346---
347
348## Future Considerations
349
350### If We Need Hooks Later
351
352We can add hook support without removing inline validation:
353
354```rust
355pub struct GitConfig {
356 inline_validation: bool, // Default: true
357 hook_validation: bool, // Default: false
358}
359```
360
361This would allow:
362- Migration path for hook-based systems
363- Extra validation for paranoid deployments
364- Compatibility with other Git tools
365
366### If Git Protocol Changes
367
368The `git-http-backend` crate abstracts protocol details. If the Git protocol changes:
369- Update the crate dependency
370- Adjust our ref parsing if needed
371- Tests will catch any breakage
372
373---
374
375## Conclusion
376
377**Inline authorization is the right choice for ngit-grasp** because:
378
3791. It provides better error messages for users
3802. It's more performant (early rejection)
3813. It's easier to test (pure Rust)
3824. It's simpler to deploy (single binary)
3835. It enables better integration (shared state)
384
385The trade-off (coupling to Git HTTP protocol) is acceptable because:
386- The protocol is stable and well-specified
387- The `git-http-backend` crate abstracts details
388- Benefits far outweigh the cost
389
390This decision aligns with our goal of creating a **developer-friendly, production-ready GRASP implementation**.

1# How-To: Configure Nix Flakes for Development
2
3**Purpose:** Set up and use Nix flakes for ngit-grasp development
4**Difficulty:** Intermediate
5**Time:** 10 minutes
6
7---
8
9## Problem
10
11You want to:
12- Set up a reproducible development environment
13- Avoid "works on my machine" issues
14- Use Nix flakes with ngit-grasp
15
16---
17
18## Prerequisites
19
20- Nix installed (2.4 or later)
21- Flakes enabled in your Nix configuration
22
23---
24
25## Solution
26
27### Step 1: Enable Flakes (if not already enabled)
28
29Check if flakes are enabled:
30
31```bash
32nix flake --version
33```
34
35If you get an error, enable flakes:
36
37```bash
38# Add to ~/.config/nix/nix.conf (create if doesn't exist)
39mkdir -p ~/.config/nix
40echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
41
42# Or for system-wide (requires sudo):
43echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" | sudo tee -a /etc/nix/nix.conf
44```
45
46Restart the Nix daemon:
47
48```bash
49# On NixOS:
50sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon
51
52# On macOS:
53sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon
54sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon
55
56# On other Linux:
57sudo pkill nix-daemon
58```
59
60---
61
62### Step 2: Enter the Development Environment
63
64```bash
65cd ngit-grasp
66nix develop
67```
68
69**What this does:**
70- Reads `flake.nix` in the current directory
71- Downloads and builds all dependencies
72- Creates a shell with Rust, Git, and other tools
73- Sets environment variables
74
75**First run:** Will take several minutes to download and build
76**Subsequent runs:** Should be instant (cached)
77
78---
79
80### Step 3: Verify the Environment
81
82```bash
83# Check Rust is available
84rustc --version
85cargo --version
86
87# Check Git is available
88git --version
89
90# Check you're in the Nix shell
91echo $IN_NIX_SHELL # Should output "impure"
92```
93
94---
95
96### Step 4: Work with Subprojects
97
98ngit-grasp has a subproject (`grasp-audit`) with its own flake:
99
100```bash
101# Main project
102cd ngit-grasp
103nix develop # Uses ngit-grasp/flake.nix
104
105# Subproject
106cd grasp-audit
107nix develop # Uses grasp-audit/flake.nix
108```
109
110**Important:** Each directory has its own flake and environment!
111
112---
113
114## Common Tasks
115
116### Build the Project
117
118```bash
119cd grasp-audit
120nix develop
121cargo build
122```
123
124**Or in one command:**
125
126```bash
127cd grasp-audit
128nix develop -c cargo build
129```
130
131The `-c` flag runs a command in the Nix environment and exits.
132
133---
134
135### Run Tests
136
137```bash
138cd grasp-audit
139nix develop -c cargo test
140```
141
142---
143
144### Build Without Entering Shell
145
146```bash
147cd grasp-audit
148nix build
149```
150
151This builds the package defined in `flake.nix` outputs.
152
153---
154
155### Update Dependencies
156
157```bash
158# Update flake.lock (updates all inputs)
159nix flake update
160
161# Update specific input
162nix flake lock --update-input nixpkgs
163```
164
165**When to update:**
166- Security vulnerabilities in dependencies
167- Need newer version of Rust or other tools
168- Monthly maintenance
169
170---
171
172### Clean Nix Store
173
174```bash
175# Remove unused packages
176nix-collect-garbage
177
178# Aggressive cleanup (removes all old generations)
179nix-collect-garbage -d
180```
181
182**Warning:** This will remove all old versions. You'll need to re-download if you switch branches.
183
184---
185
186## Troubleshooting
187
188### "nix: command not found"
189
190**Problem:** Nix is not installed or not in PATH
191
192**Solution:**
193```bash
194# Install Nix (official installer)
195sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
196
197# Add to PATH (if needed)
198source ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh
199```
200
201---
202
203### "experimental features not enabled"
204
205**Problem:** Flakes are not enabled
206
207**Solution:**
208```bash
209# Add to ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
210echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
211
212# Restart Nix daemon (see Step 1)
213```
214
215---
216
217### "nix-shell: command not found" or wrong behavior
218
219**Problem:** Using old `nix-shell` command instead of `nix develop`
220
221**Solution:**
222```bash
223# ❌ Wrong (old Nix)
224nix-shell
225
226# ✅ Correct (Nix flakes)
227nix develop
228```
229
230**Why:** Flakes use `nix develop`, not `nix-shell`. The old command looks for `shell.nix` which doesn't exist.
231
232---
233
234### "error: getting status of '/nix/store/...': No such file or directory"
235
236**Problem:** Nix store is corrupted or incomplete
237
238**Solution:**
239```bash
240# Verify Nix store
241nix-store --verify --check-contents
242
243# Repair if needed
244nix-store --repair --verify --check-contents
245
246# If still broken, re-enter environment
247nix develop --refresh
248```
249
250---
251
252### Build fails with "cannot find crate"
253
254**Problem:** Cargo cache is stale or corrupted
255
256**Solution:**
257```bash
258# Clean Cargo cache
259cargo clean
260
261# Rebuild
262nix develop -c cargo build
263```
264
265---
266
267### "error: unable to download"
268
269**Problem:** Network issues or cache server down
270
271**Solution:**
272```bash
273# Use different substituter
274nix develop --option substituters "https://cache.nixos.org"
275
276# Or build from source (slow)
277nix develop --no-substitutes
278```
279
280---
281
282## Advanced Usage
283
284### Use direnv for Automatic Activation
285
286Install [direnv](https://direnv.net/) to automatically enter Nix environment:
287
288```bash
289# Install direnv
290nix-env -iA nixpkgs.direnv
291
292# Create .envrc
293echo "use flake" > .envrc
294
295# Allow direnv
296direnv allow
297
298# Now cd into directory automatically activates environment!
299cd ngit-grasp # Automatically runs 'nix develop'
300```
301
302---
303
304### Customize the Environment
305
306Edit `flake.nix` to add packages:
307
308```nix
309{
310 devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
311 buildInputs = with pkgs; [
312 # Existing packages
313 cargo
314 rustc
315
316 # Add your packages here
317 jq # JSON processor
318 ripgrep # Fast grep
319 fd # Fast find
320 ];
321 };
322}
323```
324
325Then reload:
326
327```bash
328nix develop --refresh
329```
330
331---
332
333### Pin to Specific Rust Version
334
335Edit `flake.nix`:
336
337```nix
338{
339 inputs.rust-overlay.url = "github:oxalica/rust-overlay";
340
341 outputs = { self, nixpkgs, rust-overlay }:
342 let
343 pkgs = import nixpkgs {
344 overlays = [ rust-overlay.overlays.default ];
345 };
346
347 # Pin to specific version
348 rust = pkgs.rust-bin.stable."1.75.0".default;
349 in {
350 devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
351 buildInputs = [ rust ];
352 };
353 };
354}
355```
356
357---
358
359## Best Practices
360
361### DO:
362- ✅ Use `nix develop` for flakes (not `nix-shell`)
363- ✅ Commit `flake.lock` to version control
364- ✅ Update flakes monthly
365- ✅ Use `-c` flag for one-off commands
366- ✅ Use direnv for automatic activation
367
368### DON'T:
369- ❌ Use `nix-shell` with flakes
370- ❌ Manually edit `flake.lock`
371- ❌ Ignore flake update warnings
372- ❌ Mix Nix and non-Nix environments
373- ❌ Commit `.direnv/` to git
374

1# Learnings Directory - DEPRECATED
2
3**Status:** This directory is deprecated as of November 4, 2025.
4
5---
6
7## What Happened?
8
9We migrated to the **[Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/) documentation framework**, which provides a clearer structure based on content purpose rather than origin.
10
11---
12
13## Where Did Content Go?
14
15The "learnings" were distributed into appropriate Diátaxis categories:
16
17### Gotchas and Patterns → How-To Guides
18- `nix-flakes.md` → [`docs/how-to/nix-flakes.md`](../how-to/nix-flakes.md)
19- Task-oriented solutions to common problems
20
21### Technical Details → Reference
22- `nostr-sdk.md` → [`docs/reference/nostr-sdk-upgrade.md`](../reference/nostr-sdk-upgrade.md) (planned)
23- `git-http-backend.md` → [`docs/reference/git-protocol.md`](../reference/git-protocol.md)
24- Factual technical information
25
26### Concepts and Understanding → Explanation
27- `grasp-audit.md` → Incorporated into [`docs/explanation/architecture.md`](../explanation/architecture.md)
28- Discussion of design and architecture
29
30---
31
32## Why the Change?
33
34The "learnings" category was ambiguous:
35- Mixed gotchas, patterns, and concepts
36- Unclear where to put new content
37- Hard for readers to know what to expect
38
39**Diátaxis provides clear categories:**
40- **Tutorials** - Learning by doing
41- **How-To** - Solving problems
42- **Reference** - Looking up facts
43- **Explanation** - Understanding concepts
44
45See [`docs/README.md`](../README.md) for the new structure.
46
47---
48
49## For Content Authors
50
51**Don't create new files here.** Instead, ask:
52
53- "Can you teach me to...?" → [`docs/tutorials/`](../tutorials/)
54- "How do I...?" → [`docs/how-to/`](../how-to/)
55- "What is...?" → [`docs/reference/`](../reference/)
56- "Why...?" → [`docs/explanation/`](../explanation/)
57
58---
59
60## Migration Status
61
62- ✅ `nix-flakes.md` → Migrated to `how-to/nix-flakes.md`
63- ⏳ `nostr-sdk.md` → Being incorporated into reference docs
64- ✅ `grasp-audit.md` → Content in `explanation/architecture.md`

241RUST_LOG=info # Info, warnings, errors
242RUST_LOG=debug # Debug and above
243RUST_LOG=trace # Everything
244
245# Module-specific
246RUST_LOG=ngit_grasp=debug,actix_web=info
247
248# Complex filters
249RUST_LOG=debug,hyper=info,tokio=warn
250```
251
252**Log levels (most to least verbose):**
2531. `trace` - Very detailed, performance impact
2542. `debug` - Detailed debugging information
2553. `info` - General information (default)
2564. `warn` - Warnings about potential issues
2575. `error` - Errors only
258
259**Production recommendation:**
260```bash
261RUST_LOG=info,ngit_grasp=debug
262```
263
264---

293NGIT_RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=false
294```
295
296---
297
298## Configuration File (.env)
299
300For development, create a `.env` file in the project root:
301
302```bash
303# .env file example
304NGIT_DOMAIN=localhost:8080
305NGIT_OWNER_NPUB=npub1alice...
306NGIT_RELAY_NAME="Development Relay"
307NGIT_RELAY_DESCRIPTION="Local development instance"
308NGIT_GIT_DATA_PATH=./data/git
309NGIT_RELAY_DATA_PATH=./data/relay
310NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:8080
311RUST_LOG=debug
312```
313
314**Notes:**
315- Never commit `.env` to version control
316- Use `.env.example` as a template
317- Environment variables override `.env` values
318
319---
320
321## Validation
322
323Configuration is validated at startup:
324
325```rust
326// Example validation errors:
327Error: Invalid configuration
328 - NGIT_DOMAIN is required
329 - NGIT_OWNER_NPUB must start with 'npub1'
330 - NGIT_GIT_DATA_PATH is not writable
331```
332
333**Validation checks:**
334- Required fields are present
335- Values have correct format
336- Paths are accessible and writable
337- Ports are available
338- npub keys are valid
339
340---
341
342## Production Configuration Example
343
344```bash
345# Production .env
346NGIT_DOMAIN=gitnostr.com
347NGIT_OWNER_NPUB=npub1alice...
348NGIT_RELAY_NAME="GitNostr Public Relay"
349NGIT_RELAY_DESCRIPTION="Public GRASP relay for open source projects"
350NGIT_GIT_DATA_PATH=/var/lib/ngit-grasp/git
351NGIT_RELAY_DATA_PATH=/var/lib/ngit-grasp/relay
352NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:8080
353RUST_LOG=info,ngit_grasp=debug
354```
355
356**Additional production considerations:**
357- Use reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy) for HTTPS
358- Set up log rotation
359- Configure monitoring
360- Implement backup strategy
361- Use dedicated user account
362- Set file permissions properly
363
364---
365
366## Development Configuration Example
367
368```bash
369# Development .env
370NGIT_DOMAIN=localhost:8080
371NGIT_OWNER_NPUB=npub1test...
372NGIT_RELAY_NAME="Dev Relay"
373NGIT_RELAY_DESCRIPTION="Local development"
374NGIT_GIT_DATA_PATH=./data/git
375NGIT_RELAY_DATA_PATH=./data/relay
376NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:8080
377RUST_LOG=debug
378```
379
380---
381
382## Testing Configuration Example
383
384```bash
385# Testing .env
386NGIT_DOMAIN=localhost:9999
387NGIT_OWNER_NPUB=npub1test...
388NGIT_RELAY_NAME="Test Relay"
389NGIT_RELAY_DESCRIPTION="Automated testing"
390NGIT_GIT_DATA_PATH=/tmp/ngit-test/git
391NGIT_RELAY_DATA_PATH=/tmp/ngit-test/relay
392NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:9999
393RUST_LOG=debug
394```
395
396**Testing notes:**
397- Use temporary directories
398- Use non-standard ports
399- Clean up after tests
400- Isolate from development data
401
402---
403
404## Configuration Priority
405
406When multiple configuration sources exist:
407
4081. **Command-line arguments** (highest priority, planned)
4092. **Environment variables**
4103. **`.env` file**
4114. **Default values** (lowest priority)
412
413**Example:**
414```bash
415# .env file
416NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:8080
417
418# Environment variable (overrides .env)
419NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:3000 cargo run
420
421# Result: binds to 0.0.0.0:3000
422```

1# Tutorial: Running Your First GRASP Audit
2
3**Purpose:** Learn how to use grasp-audit to check GRASP compliance
4**Time:** 10-15 minutes
5**Prerequisites:** [Getting Started Tutorial](getting-started.md) completed
6
7---
8
9## What You'll Learn
10
11By the end of this tutorial, you will:
12- ✅ Understand what GRASP compliance means
13- ✅ Run a compliance audit against a relay
14- ✅ Interpret audit results
15- ✅ Know how to use the audit tool in your own projects
16
17---
18
19## Step 1: Understanding GRASP Compliance
20
21GRASP (Git Relays Authorized via Signed-Nostr Proofs) defines requirements for Git hosting with Nostr authorization.
22
23**Key compliance areas:**
24- **NIP-01**: Basic Nostr relay functionality
25- **NIP-34**: Git repository events (kind 30317, 30318)
26- **Git HTTP**: Smart HTTP protocol support
27- **Authorization**: Push validation against state events
28
29The `grasp-audit` tool verifies all of these automatically.
30
31---
32
33## Step 2: Start a Test Relay
34
35For this tutorial, we'll use a standard Nostr relay:
36
37```bash
38# In a separate terminal window:
39docker run --rm -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
40
41# Keep this running throughout the tutorial
42```
43
44**What this does:** Starts a NIP-01 compliant Nostr relay on port 7000.
45
46**Note:** This relay doesn't fully implement GRASP (no Git hosting), but we can test the Nostr parts.
47
48---
49
50## Step 3: Run the Audit Tool
51
52Navigate to the grasp-audit directory and run:
53
54```bash
55cd grasp-audit
56nix develop
57
58# Run the integration tests (which include audits)
59cargo test --ignored -- --test-threads=1
60```
61
62**What you'll see:**
63```
64running 3 tests
65test tests::test_isolation_basic ... ok
66test tests::test_isolation_cleanup ... ok
67test tests::test_isolation_concurrent ... ok
68
69test result: ok. 3 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
70```
71
72**What just happened?** The audit tool:
731. Connected to the relay on port 7000
742. Checked NIP-01 compliance (event submission, retrieval)
753. Tested isolation between test runs
764. Verified cleanup mechanisms
77
78---
79
80## Step 4: Use the Audit Library
81
82Let's write a simple audit script. Create a new file:
83
84```bash
85# From grasp-audit directory
86cat > examples/my_audit.rs << 'EOF'
87use grasp_audit::prelude::*;
88
89#[tokio::main]
90async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
91 // Create an audit client
92 let client = AuditClient::new("ws://localhost:7000").await?;
93
94 println!("✅ Connected to relay");
95
96 // Test basic event submission
97 let test_event = client.create_test_event("Hello GRASP!").await?;
98 println!("✅ Created test event: {}", test_event.id);
99
100 // Verify we can retrieve it
101 let retrieved = client.get_event(&test_event.id).await?;
102 println!("✅ Retrieved event successfully");
103
104 println!("\n🎉 Basic audit passed!");
105
106 Ok(())
107}
108EOF
109```
110
111**Note:** This is a simplified example. The actual audit tool has more sophisticated checks.
112
113---
114
115## Step 5: Understanding Audit Results
116
117When audits fail, you'll see detailed error messages:
118
119```rust
120// Example failure output:
121Error: GRASP-01 compliance failed
122 - NIP-01: ✅ PASS
123 - NIP-34 kind 30317: ❌ FAIL - Relay rejected repository announcement
124 - NIP-34 kind 30318: ❌ FAIL - Relay rejected state event
125 - Git HTTP: ❌ NOT TESTED - No Git endpoint found
126```
127
128**How to interpret:**
129- ✅ **PASS**: Feature works correctly
130- ❌ **FAIL**: Feature broken or missing
131- ⚠️ **PARTIAL**: Works but with issues
132- ⏭️ **SKIPPED**: Couldn't test (dependency failed)
133
134---
135
136## Step 6: Audit a GRASP-Compliant Relay
137
138To audit a real GRASP relay (when available):
139
140```bash
141# Example (relay doesn't exist yet):
142cargo run --bin grasp-audit -- --relay wss://gitnostr.com
143
144# Or use the library:
145let client = AuditClient::new("wss://gitnostr.com").await?;
146let results = client.run_full_audit().await?;
147println!("{}", results.summary());
148```
149
150**What this would check:**
151- Nostr relay functionality (NIP-01)
152- Git event acceptance (NIP-34)
153- Git HTTP endpoint availability
154- Push authorization logic
155- Multi-maintainer support
156
157---
158
159## Step 7: Automated Testing
160
161The audit tool is designed for CI/CD integration:
162
163```bash
164# Run all tests (unit + integration)
165cargo test --all
166
167# Run only integration tests
168cargo test --ignored
169
170# Generate coverage report
171cargo tarpaulin --ignored --out Html
172```
173
174**Use in CI:**
175```yaml
176# Example GitHub Actions
177- name: Run GRASP Compliance Tests
178 run: |
179 docker run -d -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
180 cd grasp-audit
181 cargo test --ignored
182```
183
184---
185
186## What You've Accomplished

189
190✅ Understand GRASP compliance requirements
191✅ Can run the audit tool against a relay
192✅ Know how to interpret audit results
193✅ Can integrate audits into your workflow
194
195---
196
197## Next Steps
198
199### Learn more about testing:
200- Read [Compliance Testing How-To](../how-to/test-compliance.md)
201- Review [Test Strategy](../reference/test-strategy.md)
202
203### Understand the protocols:
204- Read [GRASP Protocol Reference](../reference/grasp-protocol.md)
205- Review [Git Protocol Reference](../reference/git-protocol.md)
206
207### Contribute to grasp-audit:
208- Check open issues
209- Add new compliance checks
210- Improve error messages
211
212---
213
214## Troubleshooting
215
216### "Connection refused" errors
217- Make sure the relay is running: `docker ps`
218- Check the port: `netstat -an | grep 7000`
219- Verify the URL: `ws://localhost:7000` (not `wss://`)
220
221### Tests timeout
222- Relay might be slow to start
223- Try running tests again after 5 seconds
224- Check Docker logs: `docker logs <container-id>`
225
226### "Event rejected" errors
227- Expected for non-GRASP relays
228- The relay might not support NIP-34
229- This is normal for the tutorial relay
230
231---
232
233## Deep Dive: How Audits Work
234
235The audit tool uses **isolated test environments**:
236
237```rust
238// Each test gets a unique identifier
239let isolation = IsolationContext::new("my-test");
240
241// Events are tagged with this identifier
242let event = isolation.create_event("test content").await?;
243
244// Cleanup removes only this test's events
245isolation.cleanup().await?;
246```
247
248**Why isolation matters:**
249- Tests don't interfere with each other
250- Can run tests in parallel
251- Easy cleanup (no leftover data)
252
253See [Test Strategy Reference](../reference/test-strategy.md) for details.

6
7---
8
9## What You'll Learn
10
11By the end of this tutorial, you will:

18
19## Step 1: Clone the Repository
20
21First, get the source code:
22
23```bash
24git clone https://gitworkshop.dev/ngit-grasp
25cd ngit-grasp
26```
27
28**What just happened?** You cloned the ngit-grasp repository from the GRASP-enabled Git server.
29
30---
31
32## Step 2: Set Up Nix Development Environment
33
34ngit-grasp uses Nix flakes for reproducible development environments.
35
36```bash
37# Enter the development environment
38nix develop
39
40# You should see a new shell with all dependencies available
41```
42
43**What just happened?** Nix read `flake.nix` and created a shell with:
44- Rust toolchain (cargo, rustc)
45- Git
46- All required system libraries
47
48**Tip:** If `nix develop` doesn't work, you might be using an old Nix version. See the [Nix Flakes How-To](../how-to/nix-flakes.md) for help.
49

51
52## Step 3: Explore the Project Structure
53
54Take a look around:
55
56```bash
57# View the project structure
58ls -la
59
60# Key directories:
61# - src/ - Main ngit-grasp source code (coming soon)
62# - grasp-audit/ - Compliance testing tool (working)
63# - docs/ - Documentation (you are here!)
64```
65
66**What you're seeing:**
67- `grasp-audit/` is a **subproject** with its own Cargo workspace
68- Main ngit-grasp server implementation is planned but not yet started
69- Documentation uses Diátaxis framework (tutorials, how-to, reference, explanation)
70
71---
72
73## Step 4: Work with grasp-audit
74
75The compliance testing tool is the first working component. Let's try it:
76
77```bash
78# Navigate to grasp-audit
79cd grasp-audit
80
81# Enter its development environment
82nix develop
83
84# Build the project
85cargo build
86
87# Run unit tests
88cargo test
89```
90
91**What just happened?**
92- `grasp-audit` has its own `flake.nix` for isolated dependencies
93- Unit tests run without external dependencies
94- Integration tests (marked `#[ignore]`) require a Nostr relay
95
96---
97
98## Step 5: Run Your First Audit (Optional)
99
100If you want to try the audit tool against a real relay:
101
102```bash
103# In a separate terminal, start a test relay:
104docker run --rm -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
105
106# Back in grasp-audit directory:
107cargo test --ignored -- --test-threads=1
108```
109
110**What just happened?** Integration tests connected to the relay on port 7000 and verified GRASP compliance.
111
112**Note:** This step is optional. The relay must be running for these tests to pass.
113
114---
115
116## Step 6: Explore the Code
117
118Let's look at a simple example:
119
120```bash
121# From grasp-audit directory
122cat examples/simple_audit.rs
123```
124
125This shows how to use the `grasp-audit` library to check GRASP compliance.
126
127---
128
129## Step 7: Read the Documentation
130
131Now that you have a working setup, explore the documentation:
132
133```bash
134# From project root
135cd ..
136ls docs/
137```
138
139**Recommended reading order:**
1401. [Architecture Overview](../explanation/architecture.md) - Understand the design
1412. [Inline Authorization](../explanation/inline-authorization.md) - Key decision
1423. [Git Protocol Reference](../reference/git-protocol.md) - Technical details

177
178## Troubleshooting
179
180### "nix develop" doesn't work
181- You might need Nix with flakes enabled
182- See [Nix Flakes How-To](../how-to/nix-flakes.md)
183
184### Build errors in grasp-audit
185- Make sure you're in the `grasp-audit` directory
186- Run `nix develop` first
187- Check that you have network access (Cargo needs to download crates)
188
189### Tests fail
190- Unit tests should always pass
191- Integration tests (`--ignored`) require a relay on port 7000
192- Use `--test-threads=1` for integration tests
193
