Repository navigation
List cached Git repositories in the UI and metrics - #675
/ui/git, linked as "Git" in the navigation when upstream.git is configured, lists the cached repositories: upstream, clone URL through the proxy, size, the newest commit of the branch HEAD names (short ID, subject, age), how many branches and tags there are, when the upstream was last checked and a client last read it, how many times clients read its refs (clones, fetches and git ls-remote), and the kind of error (fetch_failed, too_large, …) while the last refresh failed.
proxy_git_cache_size_bytes and proxy_git_cached_repositories report the git cache's size and repository count, apart from the artifact gauges, which hold Git LFS objects under ecosystem="git". Hits, misses, upstream fetches, errors and evictions were already recorded under git.
gitcache.Cache.Repositories is a snapshot of what the cache tracks. RepositoryState reads branch, commit and ref counts with git, and is read again only after the repository's next upstream check, so the page doesn't run git for every repository on every view. One read runs at a time across all views, and a view reads for at most two seconds; it lists the rest without branches and commits, says how many are left, and the next reload goes on from there.
I left out the git_repositories table the plan mentioned. The cache already loads every repository from cache_dir at startup with its size and last check and use (from the stamp files), so a table would only add the request counts and last error. Those are kept in memory here and start over on a restart, which the docs say. Happy to add the table if you'd rather have them kept.
The UI has no authentication, so the page shows the names, default branches and newest commit subjects of repositories from upstreams with credentials to anyone who can reach it. /git already lets those people clone them; the docs say so, and that the page shows more than /git where the two sit behind different access rules.
Error messages aren't shown, only their kind, since git's stderr can carry upstream URLs.
Tried on a Raspberry Pi with upstream.git: {github: https://github.com}: clones of git-pkgs/purl and git-pkgs/vers show up with their size, main @ <commit>, branches and tags, and the git gauges carry both repositories.
Tests: internal/gitcache/stats_test.go (snapshot, a failed refresh, a cache reopened over its directory, state following a push, one state read at a time), internal/server/git_ui_test.go (page and navigation with and without upstream.git, rows, uppercase names, a view out of time, gauges).
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Added a Git repositories page showing cached repository details, including size, activity, refresh errors, and branch and commit information.
Added metrics for cached Git repository count and total cache size.
Documentation
Documented the Git repositories page, cache metrics, repository visibility, and clone and fetch hit/miss accounting.
/ui/git lists the git cache's repositories with their upstream, clone URL,
size, last check and use, requests served and the last refresh error. The
per-ecosystem cache size and artifact gauges report the git cache as
ecosystem="git".
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The Git cache now exposes repository statistics and Git state. A conditional /ui/git page lists cached repositories and their activity. Git repository counts and sizes are included in ecosystem metrics.

Summary
Repository statistics and state internal/gitcache/cache.go, internal/gitcache/serve.go, internal/gitcache/refresh.go, internal/gitcache/stats.go, internal/gitcache/stats_test.go
The cache records clone and fetch requests and refresh errors. New methods return sorted repository statistics and Git state, including branch and tag counts and latest commit details. Tests cover cached and reopened repositories, refresh errors, and state updates.
The server registers and links to /ui/git when a Git cache is configured. The page displays repository details and cache totals. Tests cover the page, its empty state, filtering, and behavior without a configured Git upstream. The documentation describes the page, its displayed data, and Git cache metrics.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review e6c3b
The previously reported Git page summary mismatch appears corrected, and no actionable merge blocker remains in the supplied evidence.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to e6c3b
The page correctly filters repositories against current configuration and avoids displaying upstream credentials. However, concurrent page requests can initiate Git work outside existing concurrency limits, and cached commit details can become visible after restart without the freshness checks required for cloning. Both risks depend on access to the UI; deployment-level protections are unknown.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: The new unauthenticated page reads state for every eligible cached repository. Concurrent requests encountering an uncached or invalidated state independently execute up to four sequential Git commands per repository, without singleflight or a shared subprocess limit. This bypasses the admission controls used for Git protocol serving and can exhaust process, CPU, or memory capacity shared with other proxy requests. Completed-result caching and cancellation reduce ordinary workload but do not bound an overlapping burst.
Medium · security · inferred: Commit metadata is published without the freshness validation required by Git serving. The UI suppresses it for a known refusal, but startup reloads cached repositories and timestamps without restoring refusal state. After restart, an allowlisted private repository with an expired successful check can therefore expose its cached branch, commit ID, and subject through the UI even when cloning must revalidate and would reject revoked upstream access. The new exposure is limited metadata, not repository contents; current allowlist filtering remains effective.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — A caller able to reach /ui/git can enumerate all eligible repositories cached by that proxy instance, including credential-backed upstream repositories. The disclosure concern covers cached metadata; the workload concern can affect shared proxy-host resources without requiring upstream write access.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The introduced paths are overlapping cold-state page requests causing unbounded Git-process concurrency, and post-restart reads of expired cached commit metadata without upstream revalidation. Neither establishes credential theft or a new ability to clone disallowed repositories.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Anonymous Git serving already existed before this PR. The new page preserves current upstream and repository-allowlist filtering, and suppresses commit state for refusals known to its snapshot. Those controls do not substitute for the serving path's freshness checks or survive restart as a persisted refusal decision.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Existing protocol-serving paths acquire bounded ref-listing or upload-pack slots. The new state-reader path shares the Git runner but not those admission controls, making resource-containment policy inconsistent across callers.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Coalesce per-repository state reads and apply a bounded shared subprocess budget. Separately, define metadata visibility across expired checks, upstream refusal, and restart; enforce that policy before publishing commit details. Restricting /ui at ingress is useful defense in depth, not evidence that these application paths are protected today.

Concurrent RepositoryState calls on a cold cache can run the same git commands in parallel, and a failed read is never cached.
Each call to RepositoryState runs readState when rp.state is not current. Page views for the same repository can overlap. Each one then starts up to three git processes per repository. /ui/git has no authentication, so repeated requests can multiply this work.
A repository where readState fails, such as one that is corrupt, reruns git on every page view. Only successful reads are cached.
Consider a per-repository singleflight around readState. Cache the failure against checked, so a failed read is retried only after the next upstream check.

The handler runs git for every uncached repository on a page view.
RepositoryState runs git per repository, and the calls run in sequence. The first view after startup, or after any upstream check, runs three git commands per repository on the request thread. A cache with many repositories makes this page slow. The page has no authentication.
Consider bounding the work. For example, limit the concurrency, or apply a per-request deadline and show rows without state when it expires.

The summary line uses the wrong count when rows are filtered.
{{len .Rows}} counts only rows for configured upstreams. .TotalSize is computed from all repositories, including those of upstreams no longer configured. The count and the size can therefore disagree. The line also reads "1 repositories" for a single row.
Compute TotalSize from the displayed rows, or label it as the cache total. Handle the singular form.

Git LFS objects are artifacts under ecosystem git, so adding the
repositories to the per-ecosystem gauges mixed the two and broke the
per-ecosystem figures adding up to the totals. The git cache now has
proxy_git_cache_size_bytes and proxy_git_cached_repositories, updated
on each tick apart from the database gauges so a failed stats query
leaves them current.
Repository paths can hold spaces, '#', '?' or '%', as Azure DevOps
project and repository names do, so each segment is escaped as the LFS
URLs are. The requests label also uses plural() now.
readState ignored failures of symbolic-ref and git log, so a transient
one was kept as a state with no commit until the upstream was next
checked. It now returns them, telling an empty repository or detached
HEAD (exit code 1) apart from other failures, and a failed read is
kept for a minute only.
The git cache now has its own gauges, proxy_git_cache_size_bytes and proxy_git_cached_repositories. Adding it to the per-ecosystem ones mixed repositories with the Git LFS objects already stored as git, and broke the per-ecosystem figures adding up to the totals. They are also updated when the database stats query fails.
Clone URLs on the page escape each path segment.
A failed read of a repository's state is reported as an error and read again after a minute, instead of being kept as an empty state until the next upstream check.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Global gauge state can make this test order-dependent.
The test resets the gauge with UpdateGitCacheStats(0, 0) and then asserts exact values on a process-wide registry. The reset limits the risk. Parallel tests that call updateGauges with a git cache would still break it. Tests in this package do not appear to use t.Parallel, so the risk is low today.

Since main gained the repos allowlist and the refusal of repositories the
upstream refused, the page could still list a repository the allowlist no
longer allows and show the cached commit of one the upstream refused.
Repositories now reports Refused, and the page leaves out what the
allowlist doesn't allow and shows no cached state for a refused one.
The page lists only repositories the upstream's repos allowlist allows, and shows no cached commit for one the upstream refused, so it doesn't show what /git won't serve. RepositoryStats.Refused carries the refusal (CodeRabbit's two outside-diff comments).

To answer your question on #403: no, I hadn't started on the metrics and UI part, so thanks for picking it up.
I ran this locally and it looks good. Leaving out the git_repositories table seems right to me, since the stamp files already keep what matters across restarts.
One thing I ran into: where cache_dir ignores case (macOS and Windows by default), Repositories() returns the folded key, and gitRepositoryRows builds the rows from it.
An upstream with an uppercase letter in its name gets no rows. I cloned through one named Up and the page said "No repository is cached yet".
A repos pattern with an uppercase letter (NixOS/*) hides its repositories the same way, though I only saw that in a unit test.
Otherwise names and clone URLs show lowercased (Team/Repo as team/repo), which may not clone from a case-sensitive upstream such as Gerrit.
Returning the directory's path under cache_dir instead of the key might be enough, since it keeps the case of the first clone. I haven't tried it.
Three small things, none blocking:
The description still has the first gauge names (proxy_ecosystem_*).
The docs say the page shows repository names. It also shows the default branch and newest commit subject, which may matter where /ui and /git sit behind different access rules.
The request count also goes up for git ls-remote, where the docs say "clones and fetches it served".
Where cache_dir ignores case, the cache tracks repositories under a
lowercased key, and Repositories returned that key. The git page then
found no configured upstream for an upstream with an uppercase letter,
hid repositories that a repos pattern with one allows, and showed
lowercased names and clone URLs. The key now comes from the
repository's directory, which keeps the case of the clone that created
it.
The docs also say the page shows default branches and commit subjects,
and that the request count includes ls-remote.
Thanks for trying it and for the case report. You were right, and your suggestion was enough.
Fixed in 3ea4464: Repositories() now returns the repository's path under cache_dir instead of the folded key, so names, clone URLs, upstream names and repos patterns keep the case of the first clone. TestRepositoriesKeepCaseWhereKeysAreFolded failed before the change.
I updated the description to the gauges the PR has now: proxy_git_cache_size_bytes and proxy_git_cached_repositories.
The docs now say the page also shows default branches and newest commit subjects, and that it shows more than /git where the two sit behind different access rules.
The request count is a count of ref reads (info/refs), so git ls-remote is in it. I changed the docs and the field comment to say that rather than try to tell ls-remote apart.
A view ran four git processes for each repository whose state wasn't
cached, with no limit, and each concurrent view did the same.
RepositoryState now runs one read at a time and gives up with its
context. The page reads for at most two seconds, lists the rest without
branches and commits, and says how many are left; the cache keeps what
was read, so each reload reads more.
Also test that an upstream, a repos pattern and a repository with
uppercase letters are listed as spelled, and correct two comments.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Thanks for this, and for working through the case folding with montehurd. Leaving out the git_repositories table is the right call, and the page keeping to what /git serves looks good. One thing to fix before it goes in, and one smaller one.
The state cache is invalidated by every clone, not by ref changes. knownState treats a state as current while cached.checked == rp.lastChecked, but refresh stores a new lastChecked after every successful upstream check (internal/gitcache/refresh.go:207), whether or not update fetched anything, and a check runs on every client info/refs. On a proxy serving CI, any repository cloned since the last view of the page is read again with four git processes even though its refs are the same. Rows are read in key order inside the two second budget, so a cache with more busy repositories than fit in two seconds reads the same alphabetical head again on every view and never gets to the tail, and "each reload reads more" in docs/configuration.md stops being true.
Please key the cached state on something that moves only when the refs do, such as a counter on repo bumped in clone, in update when fetched is true, and wherever FetchWants writes. A test that a check finding no change leaves the cached state in place would cover it.
The smaller one: the state closure in handleGitRepositories drops any error from RepositoryState that isn't the context's, so a corrupt repository shows a row with no commit and nothing in the page or the log says why. Please log it at warn with the repository key.
The state shown on the git page was read again after every check of the
upstream, and a check runs on every client info/refs. On a busy proxy
each view then read the same repositories again and never got past what
fits in two seconds.
The state is now kept until the repository's refs or HEAD are written: by
a clone, a fetch, a fetch of wanted commits, or a change of the default
branch. A check that finds nothing new leaves it in place.
A state that fails to read for another reason than the view's deadline is
now logged at warn with the repository key.
State cache.repo now has a counter, refsWritten, and a cached state is current while the counter is the one it was read at. It is bumped in clone, in update after a fetch, and in fetchWants. I also bump it when setHead moves HEAD: a change of the upstream's default branch moves no ref, so fetched is false, but the page's branch and commit change. lastChecked is no longer part of it.
TestRepositoryStateIsKeptWhileRefsStay checks that a second clone checks the upstream and leaves the cached state in place, and that a new default branch has it read again. TestRepositoryStateIsReadAgainAfterAWantedFetch covers the fetch by ID. Without the bumps these tests and TestRepositoryState fail.
Dropped error.handleGitRepositories logs a state it can't read at warn with the repository key, unless the error is the context's. TestGitRepositoriesPageLogsAStateItCannotRead covers it with a branch that names a missing commit.
The sentence in docs/configuration.md now says the state is kept until a fetch changes the repository.

Part of #403: the metrics and UI step.
/ui/git, linked as "Git" in the navigation whenupstream.gitis configured, lists the cached repositories: upstream, clone URL through the proxy, size, the newest commit of the branch HEAD names (short ID, subject, age), how many branches and tags there are, when the upstream was last checked and a client last read it, how many times clients read its refs (clones, fetches andgit ls-remote), and the kind of error (fetch_failed,too_large, …) while the last refresh failed.proxy_git_cache_size_bytesandproxy_git_cached_repositoriesreport the git cache's size and repository count, apart from the artifact gauges, which hold Git LFS objects underecosystem="git". Hits, misses, upstream fetches, errors and evictions were already recorded undergit.gitcache.Cache.Repositoriesis a snapshot of what the cache tracks.RepositoryStatereads branch, commit and ref counts with git, and is read again only after the repository's next upstream check, so the page doesn't run git for every repository on every view. One read runs at a time across all views, and a view reads for at most two seconds; it lists the rest without branches and commits, says how many are left, and the next reload goes on from there.I left out the
git_repositoriestable the plan mentioned. The cache already loads every repository fromcache_dirat startup with its size and last check and use (from the stamp files), so a table would only add the request counts and last error. Those are kept in memory here and start over on a restart, which the docs say. Happy to add the table if you'd rather have them kept.The UI has no authentication, so the page shows the names, default branches and newest commit subjects of repositories from upstreams with credentials to anyone who can reach it.
/gitalready lets those people clone them; the docs say so, and that the page shows more than/gitwhere the two sit behind different access rules.Error messages aren't shown, only their kind, since git's stderr can carry upstream URLs.
Tried on a Raspberry Pi with
upstream.git: {github: https://github.com}: clones ofgit-pkgs/purlandgit-pkgs/versshow up with their size,main @ <commit>, branches and tags, and the git gauges carry both repositories.Tests:
internal/gitcache/stats_test.go(snapshot, a failed refresh, a cache reopened over its directory, state following a push, one state read at a time),internal/server/git_ui_test.go(page and navigation with and withoutupstream.git, rows, uppercase names, a view out of time, gauges).Summary by CodeRabbit
