### Overview
We maintain a **clean, hierarchical documentation structure** to avoid documentation sprawl. All working documents have a defined lifecycle and location.
We use the **[Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/) framework** for all documentation. This prevents documentation sprawl by organizing content into four clear categories based on purpose and audience.

### Diátaxis Framework
All documentation MUST fit into one of four categories:
**📚 Tutorials** (`docs/tutorials/`)
- **Purpose:** Learning-oriented, teach by doing
- **Audience:** Newcomers, beginners
- **Style:** Step-by-step lessons with guaranteed outcomes
- **Examples:** Getting Started, First Audit
- **Question:** "Can you teach me to...?"
**🔧 How-To Guides** (`docs/how-to/`)
- **Purpose:** Task-oriented, solve problems
- **Audience:** Users with basic knowledge
- **Style:** Practical recipes and solutions
- **Examples:** Deploy, Configure, Troubleshoot
- **Question:** "How do I...?"
**📖 Reference** (`docs/reference/`)
- **Purpose:** Information-oriented, technical facts
- **Audience:** Users looking up specific information
- **Style:** Dry, factual, comprehensive
- **Examples:** API docs, Config options, Protocols
- **Question:** "What is...?"
**💡 Explanation** (`docs/explanation/`)
- **Purpose:** Understanding-oriented, clarify concepts
- **Audience:** Users wanting deeper understanding
- **Style:** Discussion, context, alternatives
- **Examples:** Architecture, Design Decisions, Comparisons
- **Question:** "Why...?"
**See:** [Diátaxis documentation](https://diataxis.fr/) for detailed guidance.

## 📋 Document Lifecycle
### 1. Working Documents (Root Level)
### 1. Working Documents (work/ Directory)
**Purpose:** Active development, session notes, status reports
**Location:** Project root
**Lifecycle:** Created → Updated → Archived
**Retention:** Archive after completion, delete if obsolete
**Purpose:** Session-specific temporary files
**Location:** `work/` directory (.gitignore'd)
**Lifecycle:** Created → Used → Archived or Deleted
**Retention:** Archive valuable content, delete rest at session end
**Examples:**
- `TAG_MIGRATION_COMPLETE.md` → Archive when next phase starts
- `SESSION_2025_11_04_SUMMARY.md` → Archive at session end
- `NEXT_STEPS.md` → Update continuously, archive when complete
- `STATUS_VISUAL.txt` → Archive immediately after session
- `work/session-notes.md` → Session notes and progress
- `work/status.md` → Current status report
- `work/migration-plan.md` → Planning document
- `work/visual-summary.txt` → ASCII art summaries
**Rules:**
- ✅ Use descriptive names with dates: `YYYY-MM-DD-description.md`
- ✅ Mark status clearly: `[WIP]`, `[COMPLETE]`, `[ARCHIVED]`
- ✅ Include date and context at top
- ✅ Use `.md` for docs, `.txt` only for ASCII art summaries
- ❌ Don't let root accumulate more than 5-10 working docs
- ❌ Don't create duplicates (merge or link instead)
- ❌ Don't keep `.txt` files in root (archive immediately)
- ✅ Create ALL session-specific docs in `work/`
- ✅ Use descriptive names (no date prefix needed)
- ✅ Archive valuable content to `docs/archive/YYYY-MM-DD-name.md`
- ✅ Delete obsolete files at session end
- ✅ Keep `work/` clean (empty except README.md when not in session)
- ❌ Don't commit `work/` contents to git (except README.md)
- ❌ Don't reference `work/` docs from permanent documentation
- ❌ Don't let `work/` accumulate files between sessions
**Why work/ instead of root:**
- Keeps root clean (only README.md, AGENTS.md, CHANGELOG.md)
- Clear separation: permanent vs. temporary
- Not committed to git (reduces noise)
- Easy to clean up (just `rm -rf work/*`)
### 2. Permanent Documentation (docs/)
**Purpose:** Long-term reference, architecture, guides
**Location:** `docs/`
**Location:** `docs/` (organized by Diátaxis category)
**Lifecycle:** Created → Maintained → Updated
**Retention:** Permanent (version controlled)
**Structure:**
- `docs/tutorials/` - Learning-oriented lessons
- `docs/how-to/` - Task-oriented guides
- `docs/reference/` - Information-oriented facts
- `docs/explanation/` - Understanding-oriented discussion
**Examples:**
- `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` - System design
- `docs/TEST_STRATEGY.md` - Testing approach
- `docs/learnings/nix-flakes.md` - Extracted knowledge
- `docs/tutorials/getting-started.md` - First-time setup
- `docs/how-to/deploy.md` - Deployment guide
- `docs/reference/configuration.md` - Config options
- `docs/explanation/architecture.md` - System design
**Rules:**
- ✅ Categorize by Diátaxis framework (tutorial/how-to/reference/explanation)
- ✅ Keep updated as project evolves
- ✅ Use clear structure and headings
- ✅ Link between related docs
- ❌ Don't duplicate information (use links)
- ❌ Don't include session-specific details
- ❌ Don't put docs in wrong category (see Diátaxis guide)
### 3. Archive (docs/archive/)

### 4. Learnings (docs/learnings/)
### 4. Learnings (DEPRECATED)
**Purpose:** Reusable knowledge, gotchas, patterns
**Location:** `docs/learnings/`
**Lifecycle:** Extracted → Maintained → Updated
**Retention:** Permanent (living documents)
**Status:** `docs/learnings/` is deprecated - content migrated to Diátaxis structure
**Migration:**
- Gotchas and patterns → `docs/how-to/`
- Technical details → `docs/reference/`
- Understanding concepts → `docs/explanation/`
**Examples:**
- `docs/learnings/nix-flakes.md` - Flake patterns and gotchas
- `docs/learnings/nostr-sdk.md` - SDK upgrade notes
- `docs/learnings/git-http-backend.md` - Git protocol tips
- `learnings/nix-flakes.md` → `how-to/nix-flakes.md`
- `learnings/nostr-sdk.md` → `reference/nostr-sdk-upgrade.md`
- `learnings/git-http-backend.md` → `reference/git-protocol.md`
**Rules:**
- ✅ Extract from session docs before archiving
- ✅ Organize by topic, not by session
- ✅ Include code examples
- ✅ Update as we learn more
- ❌ Don't duplicate official docs (link instead)
- ❌ Don't create new files in `docs/learnings/`
- ✅ Migrate existing content to appropriate Diátaxis category
- ✅ Add redirect notice in old location

### When to Clean Up
**Trigger:** Root directory has >10 markdown files OR any .txt files
**Frequency:** End of each major phase or weekly
**Responsibility:** AI agents should proactively suggest cleanup
**Trigger:** End of session OR `work/` has >5 files
**Frequency:** End of each session (mandatory)
**Responsibility:** AI agents should proactively clean up before session end
### Cleanup Steps
1. **Identify Completed Documents**
1. **Review work/ Directory**
```bash
# Find old working docs
ls -lt *.md | head -20
# Check for .txt files (should always be archived)
ls -la *.txt
# List all working docs
ls -la work/
```
2. **Extract Learnings**
- Review each completed doc
- Extract gotchas, patterns, solutions
- Add to appropriate `docs/learnings/*.md`
2. **Extract to Diátaxis Categories**
- Review each doc in `work/`
- Extract valuable content to appropriate category:
- Gotchas/solutions → `docs/how-to/`
- Technical facts → `docs/reference/`
- Concepts/design → `docs/explanation/`
- Lessons → `docs/tutorials/`
3. **Archive Completed Work**
3. **Archive Important Session Docs**
```bash
# Archive markdown with date prefix
mv TAG_MIGRATION_COMPLETE.md docs/archive/2025-11-04-tag-migration.md
# Archive .txt files immediately
mv STATUS_VISUAL.txt docs/archive/2025-11-04-status-visual.txt
# Archive valuable session docs with date prefix
mv work/migration-complete.md docs/archive/2025-11-04-migration-complete.md
mv work/visual-summary.txt docs/archive/2025-11-04-visual-summary.txt
```
4. **Delete Obsolete Documents**
- Duplicates (keep most recent/complete)
- Superseded documents
- Pure status reports (no learnings)
4. **Delete Temporary Files**
```bash
# Delete obsolete working docs
rm work/status.md
rm work/notes.md
# Or clean everything
rm -rf work/*
# (work/README.md is safe - in .gitignore exception)
```
5. **Update References**
- Update links in active docs
- Update README.md if needed
- Commit changes
5. **Verify Clean State**
```bash
# Root should only have these:
ls *.md
# README.md
# AGENTS.md
# (CHANGELOG.md when created)
# work/ should be empty (except README.md)
ls work/
# README.md
```
6. **Commit Changes**
- Commit new permanent docs
- Commit archived docs
- Note: work/ contents not committed (gitignored)
### Example Cleanup
```bash
# Before cleanup (36 files in root!)
ls *.md | wc -l
# 36
ls *.txt | wc -l
# 5
# After cleanup (3-5 files in root)
# Before cleanup (messy root!)

---
## What's Next
### Immediate: NIP-01 Relay Implementation
**Goal:** Build basic Nostr relay that passes grasp-audit tests
**Approach:**
1. Create `src/` directory structure
2. Implement basic NIP-01 relay using nostr-relay-builder
3. Run grasp-audit tests against it
4. Iterate until all tests pass
**Files to Create:**
```
src/
├── main.rs # Entry point
├── config.rs # Configuration
├── nostr/
│ ├── mod.rs
│ ├── relay.rs # NIP-01 relay setup
│ └── events.rs # Event handling
└── storage/
├── mod.rs
└── repository.rs # Event storage
```
**Success Criteria:**
```bash
# Start ngit-grasp relay
cargo run
# In another terminal
cd grasp-audit
cargo run -- audit --relay ws://localhost:8080 --spec nip01-smoke
# Results: 6/6 passed (100.0%) ✅
```
---
### Phase 2: GRASP-01 Compliance
**After NIP-01 works:**
1. **Extend grasp-audit**
- Create `src/specs/grasp_01_relay.rs`
- Test repository announcements (NIP-34)
- Test state events
- Test maintainer validation
2. **Implement in ngit-grasp**
- NIP-34 event validation
- Repository state management
- Maintainer authorization
3. **Iterate**
- Run GRASP-01 audit tests
- Fix failures
- Repeat until passing
---
### Phase 3: Git Integration
**After GRASP-01 compliance:**
1. **Git HTTP Backend**
- Implement git-smart-http handlers
- Integrate with authorization
2. **Push Validation**
- Query Nostr state events
- Validate push permissions
- Inline authorization (no hooks)
3. **Full GRASP-01**
- Complete service requirements
- End-to-end testing
---
## Development Workflow
### Daily Development
```bash
# For ngit-grasp (when we create it)
cd ngit-grasp
nix develop
cargo build
cargo test
cargo run
# For grasp-audit
cd grasp-audit
nix develop
cargo build
cargo test --lib
cargo test -- --ignored # Requires relay
cargo run -- audit --relay ws://localhost:8080
```
---
### Running Tests
**Unit Tests (Fast):**
```bash
# grasp-audit
cd grasp-audit
cargo test --lib
# ngit-grasp (when created)
cargo test --lib
```
**Integration Tests (Requires Relay):**
```bash
# Start test relay
docker run --rm -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
# Run integration tests
cd grasp-audit
cargo test -- --ignored
```
**Audit Tests:**
```bash
# Start your relay
cd ngit-grasp
cargo run
# Run audit in another terminal
cd grasp-audit
cargo run -- audit --relay ws://localhost:8080
```
---
## Key Technologies
### Current Stack
- **Rust**: Core language
- **nostr-sdk 0.43**: Nostr event handling
- **Nix Flakes**: Reproducible dev environment
- **Cargo**: Build system
- **Docker**: Test relay (nostr-rs-relay)
### Planned Stack (ngit-grasp)
- **actix-web**: HTTP server
- **nostr-relay-builder**: Relay infrastructure
- **git-http-backend**: Git protocol handling
- **tokio**: Async runtime
---
## Important Gotchas
### 1. Use Nix Flakes, Not nix-shell
```bash
# ✅ Correct
nix develop
# ❌ Wrong
nix-shell
```
**Why:** We use `flake.nix`, not `shell.nix`
---
### 2. grasp-audit is Separate
```bash
# ✅ Correct
cd grasp-audit
nix develop
cargo build
# ❌ Wrong
cd ngit-grasp
cargo build # Won't find grasp-audit
```
**Why:** Separate crate with own flake and Cargo.toml
---
### 3. Integration Tests Need Relay
```bash
# ✅ Correct
docker run --rm -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
cargo test -- --ignored
# ❌ Wrong
cargo test -- --ignored # Will fail without relay
```
---
### 4. nostr-sdk 0.43 API Changes
**Event Building:**
```rust
// ✅ Correct (0.43)
EventBuilder::new(kind, content)
.tags(tags)
.sign_with_keys(&keys)?
// ❌ Wrong (0.35)
EventBuilder::new(kind, content, tags)
.to_event(&keys)?
```
**See:** `docs/learnings/nostr-sdk.md` for full migration guide

# ✅ .txt Files Cleanup Complete
**Date:** November 4, 2025
**Status:** ✅ Complete
**Commit:** f286f62
---
## Summary
Cleaned up all .txt files from the root directory and established clear guidelines for when and how to use .txt files going forward.
---
## What Was Done
### 1. Archived All .txt Files ✅
**Moved to `docs/archive/`:**
- `AUDIT_FIX_SUMMARY.txt` → `2025-11-04-audit-fix-summary.txt`
- `PROJECT_STATUS_VISUAL.txt` → `2025-11-04-project-status-visual.txt`
- `SESSION_SUMMARY.txt` → `2025-11-04-session-summary.txt`
- `TEST_VISUAL_SUMMARY.txt` → `2025-11-03-test-visual-summary.txt`
- `CLEANUP_VISUAL_SUMMARY.txt` → `2025-11-04-cleanup-visual-summary.txt`
**Result:** 0 .txt files in root ✅
---
### 2. Updated AGENTS.md with File Format Guidelines ✅
**Added new section: "📄 File Format Guidelines"**
**When to use .txt:**
- ✅ ASCII art visual summaries only
- ✅ Box diagrams with Unicode characters
- ✅ Terminal-style status displays
- ❌ Never for regular documentation
**When to use .md:**
- ✅ All documentation (default)
- ✅ Architecture, guides, summaries
- ✅ Anything that needs formatting, links, code blocks
**Lifecycle for .txt files:**
```
Create in root → Use during session → Archive immediately
```
---
### 3. Updated Cleanup Guidelines ✅
**Cleanup triggers now include:**
- Root has >10 markdown files
- **OR any .txt files present** (new)
**Cleanup steps updated:**
- Check for both .md and .txt files
- Archive .txt immediately (no learning extraction needed)
- .txt files never stay in root long-term
---
### 4. Updated Quality Checklists ✅
**Added checklist for .txt files:**
- [ ] Contains only ASCII art/visual summaries
- [ ] Created in root for session use
- [ ] Archived immediately after session
- [ ] Not used for regular documentation
- [ ] Descriptive filename with purpose clear
---
## File Format Guidelines
### Use .txt for:
**ASCII Art Visual Summaries:**
```
╔════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ STATUS: ✅ COMPLETE ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════╝
┌────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Component Status │
├────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Build: ✅ Green │
│ Tests: ✅ 12/12 passing │
└────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
**Why .txt for ASCII art:**
- Monospace font guaranteed
- No markdown rendering interference
- Copy-paste to terminal works perfectly
- Visual impact in session
---
### Use .md for:
**All Regular Documentation:**
- Architecture documents
- Session summaries
- Status reports
- Learnings and patterns
- Planning documents
- API documentation
- User guides
**Why .md is preferred:**
- Renders nicely on GitHub/GitLab
- Supports code blocks with syntax highlighting
- Easy to link between documents
- Better for long-form content
- Version control friendly
- Can include images, tables, etc.
---
## Current State
### Root Directory ✅
```
Root .md files: 4
Root .txt files: 0
```
**Files in root:**
- `README.md` - Project overview
- `AGENTS.md` - Documentation guidelines
- `CURRENT_STATUS.md` - Current project state
- `DOCUMENTATION_CLEANUP_COMPLETE.md` - Cleanup summary
---
### Archive ✅
```
Archive .md files: 33
Archive .txt files: 5
```
**All historical documents preserved:**
- Markdown: Session docs, reports, summaries
- Text: Visual summaries and status displays
---
## Guidelines Going Forward
### Creating .txt Files
**DO:**
- Create for visual impact during session
- Use for ASCII art summaries
- Give descriptive names
- Archive immediately after session
**DON'T:**
- Use for regular documentation
- Keep in root long-term
- Duplicate information from .md files
- Use when .md would work better
---
### Example Workflow
```bash
# During session - create visual summary
cat > SESSION_VISUAL_SUMMARY.txt << 'EOF'
╔════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Session Status ║
╚════════════════════════════════════════╝
✅ Task 1 complete
✅ Task 2 complete
EOF
# Show in terminal for visual impact
cat SESSION_VISUAL_SUMMARY.txt
# At end of session - archive immediately
mv SESSION_VISUAL_SUMMARY.txt docs/archive/2025-11-04-session-visual-summary.txt
git add docs/archive/2025-11-04-session-visual-summary.txt
git commit -m "docs: archive session visual summary"
```
---
## Benefits
### ✅ Clarity
- Clear rules for when to use each format
- No confusion about file types
- Root directory stays clean
### ✅ Consistency
- All documentation in .md by default
- .txt only for specific use case
- Predictable file organization
### ✅ Maintainability
- .txt files don't accumulate
- Archive immediately after use
- Easy to find historical visuals

---
## Key Concepts
## 🚀 Quick Start Paths
### Inline Authorization
The core architectural decision: we validate Git pushes **inside the HTTP handler** before spawning Git, rather than using Git's pre-receive hooks.
### I'm brand new to ngit-grasp
1. Read [README.md](../README.md) for project overview
2. Follow [Getting Started Tutorial](tutorials/getting-started.md)
3. Understand [Architecture Overview](explanation/architecture.md)
**Benefits:**
- Better error messages (HTTP responses vs. hook stderr)
- Simpler deployment (no hook management)
- Easier testing (pure Rust)
- Better performance (skip Git for invalid pushes)
### I want to deploy ngit-grasp
1. Review [Configuration Reference](reference/configuration.md)
2. Follow [Deployment How-To](how-to/deploy.md)
3. Set up monitoring and backups
### GRASP Protocol
Git Relays Authorized via Signed-Nostr Proofs - a protocol for hosting Git repositories with Nostr-based authorization.
### I want to develop on ngit-grasp
1. Follow [Getting Started Tutorial](tutorials/getting-started.md)
2. Read [Architecture Overview](explanation/architecture.md)
3. Check [Nix Flakes How-To](how-to/nix-flakes.md)
4. Review [Test Strategy](how-to/test-compliance.md)
**Key Points:**
- Repository announcements (NIP-34 kind 30317)
- State announcements (NIP-34 kind 30318)
- Multi-maintainer support via recursive maintainer sets
- Push validation against signed state events
### I want to understand the design
1. Read [Inline Authorization Explanation](explanation/inline-authorization.md)
2. Review [Design Decisions](explanation/decisions.md)
3. Compare with [ngit-relay Comparison](explanation/comparison.md)
### Technology Stack
- **actix-web**: HTTP server
- **git-http-backend**: Git protocol handling (Rust crate)
- **nostr-relay-builder**: Nostr relay infrastructure (rust-nostr)
- **tokio**: Async runtime
### I'm looking for specific information
- **Protocol details?** → [Reference](reference/)
- **Configuration options?** → [Configuration Reference](reference/configuration.md)
- **Git protocol?** → [Git Protocol Reference](reference/git-protocol.md)

```
**Four questions, four categories:**
- "Can you teach me to...?" → **Tutorial**
- "How do I...?" → **How-To Guide**
- "What is...?" → **Reference**
- "Why...?" → **Explanation**

# Diátaxis Migration Complete ✅
**Date:** November 4, 2025
**Status:** COMPLETE
---
## What Changed?
We migrated all documentation to the **[Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/) framework**, which organizes content into four clear categories based on purpose and audience.
---
## Before and After
### Before (Flat Structure)
```
docs/
├── ARCHITECTURE.md
├── COMPARISON.md
├── DECISION_SUMMARY.md
├── GETTING_STARTED.md
├── GIT_PROTOCOL.md
├── TEST_STRATEGY.md
├── learnings/
│ ├── nix-flakes.md
│ ├── nostr-sdk.md
│ └── grasp-audit.md
└── archive/
```
**Problems:**
- Unclear where to put new docs
- Mixed purposes (learning, reference, explanation)
- Hard for readers to know what to expect
- "learnings" was ambiguous
### After (Diátaxis Structure)
```
docs/
├── tutorials/ # Learning-oriented
│ ├── getting-started.md
│ └── first-audit.md
├── how-to/ # Task-oriented
│ └── nix-flakes.md
├── reference/ # Information-oriented
│ ├── configuration.md
│ ├── git-protocol.md
│ └── test-strategy.md
├── explanation/ # Understanding-oriented
│ ├── architecture.md
│ ├── inline-authorization.md
│ ├── comparison.md
│ └── decisions.md
└── archive/ # Historical
```
**Benefits:**
- ✅ Clear categorization by purpose
- ✅ Easy to know where to put new docs
- ✅ Readers know what to expect
- ✅ Follows industry best practice

3. **"What is...?"**
- → Reference (`docs/reference/`)
- Example: "What is the NGIT_DOMAIN variable?"
4. **"Why...?"**
- → Explanation (`docs/explanation/`)
- Example: "Why use Rust instead of Go?"
### Quick Decision Tree
```
Is it teaching a beginner from scratch?
├─ YES → Tutorial
└─ NO
└─ Is it solving a specific problem?
├─ YES → How-To
└─ NO
└─ Is it factual/technical information?
├─ YES → Reference
└─ NO → Explanation
```

# Explanation: Inline Authorization
**Purpose:** Understand why ngit-grasp validates Git pushes inline rather than using Git hooks
**Audience:** Developers and architects wanting to understand design decisions
---
## The Problem
Git hosting with authorization requires validating pushes before accepting them. The question is: **where** should this validation happen?
Two approaches exist:
1. **Git Hooks** (traditional): Use Git's pre-receive hook mechanism
2. **Inline Authorization** (our approach): Validate before spawning Git
This document explains why we chose inline authorization and what benefits it provides.
---
## Background: How Git Hooks Work
Git provides a **pre-receive hook** that runs during `git push`:
```
Client Server
| |
|--- git push ----->|
| |--- spawn git-receive-pack
| |
| |--- pre-receive hook runs
| | (reads stdin: old new ref)
| | (exit 0 = accept, 1 = reject)
| |
|<--- success ------| (if hook exits 0)
|<--- error --------| (if hook exits 1)
```
**Pros:**
- Standard Git mechanism
- Language-agnostic (hook can be any executable)
- Well-documented
**Cons:**
- Hook output goes to stderr (client sees as `remote:` messages)
- Hard to provide structured error messages
- Requires hook installation and management
- Difficult to test (needs Git repository setup)
- Hook runs *after* Git has started processing
---
## Background: How Inline Authorization Works
With inline authorization, we validate **before** spawning Git:
```
Client Server (ngit-grasp)
| |
|--- git push ----->|--- HTTP handler receives request
| |
| |--- Parse ref updates from request
| |--- Query Nostr relay for state
| |--- Validate push against state
| |
| |--- If invalid: return HTTP error
| |--- If valid: spawn git-receive-pack
| |
|<--- success ------| (if valid)
|<--- HTTP error ---| (if invalid)
```
**Pros:**
- Full control over error messages (HTTP response)
- Can skip spawning Git entirely for invalid pushes
- Easier testing (pure Rust, no Git setup needed)
- Shared state between Git and Nostr components
- Better performance (early rejection)
**Cons:**
- Requires parsing Git protocol ourselves
- Less standard than hooks
- Tighter coupling to Git HTTP protocol
---
## Why Inline Authorization Is Better for GRASP
### 1. Better Error Messages
**With hooks:**
```
$ git push
remote: error: Push rejected - not authorized for ref refs/heads/main
remote: See https://docs.gitnostr.com/errors/unauthorized
To https://gitnostr.com/alice/myrepo.git
! [remote rejected] main -> main (pre-receive hook declined)
```
**With inline authorization:**
```
$ git push
error: RPC failed; HTTP 403 Forbidden
error: {
"error": "unauthorized",
"ref": "refs/heads/main",
"required_state": "event_id_abc123",
"your_pubkey": "npub1alice...",
"docs": "https://docs.gitnostr.com/errors/unauthorized"
}
```
The inline approach can return **structured JSON** with actionable information.
### 2. Performance Benefits
**With hooks:**
- Git process spawns
- Git starts receiving pack data
- Hook runs (might query Nostr relay)
- If rejected, Git throws away received data
**With inline authorization:**
- Parse ref updates from HTTP request
- Validate against Nostr state (cached)
- If rejected, return HTTP 403 immediately
- Never spawn Git for invalid pushes
**Result:** Faster rejection, less resource usage.
### 3. Easier Testing
**With hooks:**
```bash
# Test setup
mkdir -p /tmp/test-repo
cd /tmp/test-repo
git init --bare
cp pre-receive.sh hooks/pre-receive
chmod +x hooks/pre-receive
# Test execution
git push /tmp/test-repo main
# Cleanup
rm -rf /tmp/test-repo
```
**With inline authorization:**
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn test_unauthorized_push() {
let state = create_test_state().await;
let result = validate_push(&state, "refs/heads/main", alice_pubkey).await;
assert!(result.is_err());
}
```
**Result:** Pure Rust unit tests, no shell scripts, no Git setup.
### 4. Shared State and Types
**With hooks:**
- Hook is separate process
- Must query Nostr relay over WebSocket
- Can't share in-memory cache
- Separate error types
**With inline authorization:**
```rust
pub struct GitHandler {
nostr_relay: Arc<NostrRelay>, // Shared!
state_cache: Arc<StateCache>, // Shared!
}
impl GitHandler {
async fn validate_push(&self, refs: &[RefUpdate]) -> Result<()> {
// Direct access to Nostr state
let state = self.state_cache.get_latest().await?;
// Validate using shared types
state.validate_refs(refs)?;
Ok(())
}
}
```
**Result:** Better performance, type safety, simpler architecture.
### 5. Simpler Deployment
**With hooks (ngit-relay):**
```
Docker container:
- nginx (HTTP frontend)
- git-http-backend (C binary)
- pre-receive hook (Go binary)
- Khatru relay (Go binary)
- supervisord (process manager)
Setup steps:
1. Install all components
2. Configure nginx
3. Install hook in each repository
4. Set up supervisord
5. Configure inter-process communication
```
**With inline authorization (ngit-grasp):**
```
Single Rust binary:
- HTTP server (actix-web)
- Git protocol handler
- Nostr relay
- Authorization logic
Setup steps:
1. Run binary
2. Configure environment variables
```
**Result:** Simpler deployment, fewer moving parts.
---
## Technical Implementation
### How We Parse Ref Updates
The Git HTTP protocol sends ref updates in the request body:
```
POST /alice/myrepo.git/git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-git-receive-pack-request
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 abc123... refs/heads/main\0 report-status
```
We parse this **before** spawning Git:
```rust
pub async fn git_receive_pack(
req: HttpRequest,
body: web::Bytes,
) -> Result<HttpResponse, Error> {
// 1. Parse ref updates from request body
let ref_updates = parse_ref_updates(&body)?;
// 2. Validate against Nostr state
let state = get_latest_state(&repo).await?;
validate_push(&state, &ref_updates).await?;
// 3. If valid, spawn git-receive-pack
spawn_git_receive_pack(req, body).await
}
```
### How We Validate
Validation checks:
1. Does pusher's pubkey have write access?
2. Are they listed as a maintainer in the latest state event?
3. Do maintainer sets form a valid chain?
```rust
async fn validate_push(
state: &RepoState,
refs: &[RefUpdate],
) -> Result<()> {
for ref_update in refs {
// Check if pusher is authorized for this ref
if !state.is_authorized(&ref_update.name, pusher_pubkey) {
return Err(Error::Unauthorized {
ref_name: ref_update.name.clone(),
pubkey: pusher_pubkey,
});
}
}
Ok(())
}
```
---
## Comparison with Reference Implementation
| Aspect | ngit-relay (hooks) | ngit-grasp (inline) |
|--------|-------------------|---------------------|
| **Components** | nginx + git-http-backend + hook + Khatru | Single Rust binary |
| **Validation** | Pre-receive hook (separate process) | Inline HTTP handler |
| **Error messages** | Hook stderr → `remote:` | HTTP response JSON |
| **Performance** | Spawns Git first | Validates first |
| **Testing** | Shell scripts + Go tests | Pure Rust tests |
| **Deployment** | Docker + supervisord | Single binary |
| **State sharing** | WebSocket query | Direct memory access |
Both are GRASP-compliant, but inline authorization is simpler and more efficient.
---
## Trade-offs and Limitations
### What We Gain
- ✅ Better error messages
- ✅ Better performance
- ✅ Easier testing
- ✅ Simpler deployment
- ✅ Tighter integration
### What We Lose
- ❌ Non-standard approach (not using Git's hook system)
- ❌ Tighter coupling to Git HTTP protocol
- ❌ Must parse protocol ourselves
### Is It Worth It?
**Yes**, because:
1. The `git-http-backend` crate handles protocol parsing
2. GRASP is already non-standard (Nostr authorization)
3. Benefits far outweigh the coupling cost
4. We can still add hook support later if needed
---
## Alternative Considered: Hybrid Approach
We could use **both** inline validation and hooks:
```rust
// Inline: Fast path for common cases
if !quick_validate(pusher).await? {
return Err(Error::Unauthorized);
}
// Hook: Detailed validation
spawn_git_with_hook().await?;
```
**Why we didn't choose this:**
- Added complexity
- Redundant validation
- Slower (two validation steps)
- Harder to maintain
If inline validation is sufficient, why add hooks?
---
## Future Considerations
### If We Need Hooks Later
We can add hook support without removing inline validation:
```rust
pub struct GitConfig {
inline_validation: bool, // Default: true
hook_validation: bool, // Default: false
}
```
This would allow:
- Migration path for hook-based systems
- Extra validation for paranoid deployments
- Compatibility with other Git tools
### If Git Protocol Changes
The `git-http-backend` crate abstracts protocol details. If the Git protocol changes:
- Update the crate dependency
- Adjust our ref parsing if needed
- Tests will catch any breakage
---
## Conclusion
**Inline authorization is the right choice for ngit-grasp** because:
1. It provides better error messages for users
2. It's more performant (early rejection)
3. It's easier to test (pure Rust)
4. It's simpler to deploy (single binary)
5. It enables better integration (shared state)
The trade-off (coupling to Git HTTP protocol) is acceptable because:
- The protocol is stable and well-specified
- The `git-http-backend` crate abstracts details
- Benefits far outweigh the cost
This decision aligns with our goal of creating a **developer-friendly, production-ready GRASP implementation**.

# How-To: Configure Nix Flakes for Development
**Purpose:** Set up and use Nix flakes for ngit-grasp development
**Difficulty:** Intermediate
**Time:** 10 minutes
---
## Problem
You want to:
- Set up a reproducible development environment
- Avoid "works on my machine" issues
- Use Nix flakes with ngit-grasp
---
## Prerequisites
- Nix installed (2.4 or later)
- Flakes enabled in your Nix configuration
---
## Solution
### Step 1: Enable Flakes (if not already enabled)
Check if flakes are enabled:
```bash
nix flake --version
```
If you get an error, enable flakes:
```bash
# Add to ~/.config/nix/nix.conf (create if doesn't exist)
mkdir -p ~/.config/nix
echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
# Or for system-wide (requires sudo):
echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" | sudo tee -a /etc/nix/nix.conf
```
Restart the Nix daemon:
```bash
# On NixOS:
sudo systemctl restart nix-daemon
# On macOS:
sudo launchctl stop org.nixos.nix-daemon
sudo launchctl start org.nixos.nix-daemon
# On other Linux:
sudo pkill nix-daemon
```
---
### Step 2: Enter the Development Environment
```bash
cd ngit-grasp
nix develop
```
**What this does:**
- Reads `flake.nix` in the current directory
- Downloads and builds all dependencies
- Creates a shell with Rust, Git, and other tools
- Sets environment variables
**First run:** Will take several minutes to download and build
**Subsequent runs:** Should be instant (cached)
---
### Step 3: Verify the Environment
```bash
# Check Rust is available
rustc --version
cargo --version
# Check Git is available
git --version
# Check you're in the Nix shell
echo $IN_NIX_SHELL # Should output "impure"
```
---
### Step 4: Work with Subprojects
ngit-grasp has a subproject (`grasp-audit`) with its own flake:
```bash
# Main project
cd ngit-grasp
nix develop # Uses ngit-grasp/flake.nix
# Subproject
cd grasp-audit
nix develop # Uses grasp-audit/flake.nix
```
**Important:** Each directory has its own flake and environment!
---
## Common Tasks
### Build the Project
```bash
cd grasp-audit
nix develop
cargo build
```
**Or in one command:**
```bash
cd grasp-audit
nix develop -c cargo build
```
The `-c` flag runs a command in the Nix environment and exits.
---
### Run Tests
```bash
cd grasp-audit
nix develop -c cargo test
```
---
### Build Without Entering Shell
```bash
cd grasp-audit
nix build
```
This builds the package defined in `flake.nix` outputs.
---
### Update Dependencies
```bash
# Update flake.lock (updates all inputs)
nix flake update
# Update specific input
nix flake lock --update-input nixpkgs
```
**When to update:**
- Security vulnerabilities in dependencies
- Need newer version of Rust or other tools
- Monthly maintenance
---
### Clean Nix Store
```bash
# Remove unused packages
nix-collect-garbage
# Aggressive cleanup (removes all old generations)
nix-collect-garbage -d
```
**Warning:** This will remove all old versions. You'll need to re-download if you switch branches.
---
## Troubleshooting
### "nix: command not found"
**Problem:** Nix is not installed or not in PATH
**Solution:**
```bash
# Install Nix (official installer)
sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon
# Add to PATH (if needed)
source ~/.nix-profile/etc/profile.d/nix.sh
```
---
### "experimental features not enabled"
**Problem:** Flakes are not enabled
**Solution:**
```bash
# Add to ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
echo "experimental-features = nix-command flakes" >> ~/.config/nix/nix.conf
# Restart Nix daemon (see Step 1)
```
---
### "nix-shell: command not found" or wrong behavior
**Problem:** Using old `nix-shell` command instead of `nix develop`
**Solution:**
```bash
# ❌ Wrong (old Nix)
nix-shell
# ✅ Correct (Nix flakes)
nix develop
```
**Why:** Flakes use `nix develop`, not `nix-shell`. The old command looks for `shell.nix` which doesn't exist.
---
### "error: getting status of '/nix/store/...': No such file or directory"
**Problem:** Nix store is corrupted or incomplete
**Solution:**
```bash
# Verify Nix store
nix-store --verify --check-contents
# Repair if needed
nix-store --repair --verify --check-contents
# If still broken, re-enter environment
nix develop --refresh
```
---
### Build fails with "cannot find crate"
**Problem:** Cargo cache is stale or corrupted
**Solution:**
```bash
# Clean Cargo cache
cargo clean
# Rebuild
nix develop -c cargo build
```
---
### "error: unable to download"
**Problem:** Network issues or cache server down
**Solution:**
```bash
# Use different substituter
nix develop --option substituters "https://cache.nixos.org"
# Or build from source (slow)
nix develop --no-substitutes
```
---
## Advanced Usage
### Use direnv for Automatic Activation
Install [direnv](https://direnv.net/) to automatically enter Nix environment:
```bash
# Install direnv
nix-env -iA nixpkgs.direnv
# Create .envrc
echo "use flake" > .envrc
# Allow direnv
direnv allow
# Now cd into directory automatically activates environment!
cd ngit-grasp # Automatically runs 'nix develop'
```
---
### Customize the Environment
Edit `flake.nix` to add packages:
```nix
{
devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
buildInputs = with pkgs; [
# Existing packages
cargo
rustc
# Add your packages here
jq # JSON processor
ripgrep # Fast grep
fd # Fast find
];
};
}
```
Then reload:
```bash
nix develop --refresh
```
---
### Pin to Specific Rust Version
Edit `flake.nix`:
```nix
{
inputs.rust-overlay.url = "github:oxalica/rust-overlay";
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, rust-overlay }:
let
pkgs = import nixpkgs {
overlays = [ rust-overlay.overlays.default ];
};
# Pin to specific version
rust = pkgs.rust-bin.stable."1.75.0".default;
in {
devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {
buildInputs = [ rust ];
};
};
}
```
---
## Best Practices
### DO:
- ✅ Use `nix develop` for flakes (not `nix-shell`)
- ✅ Commit `flake.lock` to version control
- ✅ Update flakes monthly
- ✅ Use `-c` flag for one-off commands
- ✅ Use direnv for automatic activation
### DON'T:
- ❌ Use `nix-shell` with flakes
- ❌ Manually edit `flake.lock`
- ❌ Ignore flake update warnings
- ❌ Mix Nix and non-Nix environments
- ❌ Commit `.direnv/` to git
---
## Quick Reference
```bash
# Enter environment
nix develop
# Run command in environment
nix develop -c cargo build
# Build package
nix build
# Update dependencies
nix flake update
# Show flake info
nix flake show
# Check flake
nix flake check
# Clean up
nix-collect-garbage
```

# Learnings Directory - DEPRECATED
**Status:** This directory is deprecated as of November 4, 2025.
---
## What Happened?
We migrated to the **[Diátaxis](https://diataxis.fr/) documentation framework**, which provides a clearer structure based on content purpose rather than origin.
---
## Where Did Content Go?
The "learnings" were distributed into appropriate Diátaxis categories:
### Gotchas and Patterns → How-To Guides
- `nix-flakes.md` → [`docs/how-to/nix-flakes.md`](../how-to/nix-flakes.md)
- Task-oriented solutions to common problems
### Technical Details → Reference
- `nostr-sdk.md` → [`docs/reference/nostr-sdk-upgrade.md`](../reference/nostr-sdk-upgrade.md) (planned)
- `git-http-backend.md` → [`docs/reference/git-protocol.md`](../reference/git-protocol.md)
- Factual technical information
### Concepts and Understanding → Explanation
- `grasp-audit.md` → Incorporated into [`docs/explanation/architecture.md`](../explanation/architecture.md)
- Discussion of design and architecture
---
## Why the Change?
The "learnings" category was ambiguous:
- Mixed gotchas, patterns, and concepts
- Unclear where to put new content
- Hard for readers to know what to expect
**Diátaxis provides clear categories:**
- **Tutorials** - Learning by doing
- **How-To** - Solving problems
- **Reference** - Looking up facts
- **Explanation** - Understanding concepts
See [`docs/README.md`](../README.md) for the new structure.
---
## For Content Authors
**Don't create new files here.** Instead, ask:
- "Can you teach me to...?" → [`docs/tutorials/`](../tutorials/)
- "How do I...?" → [`docs/how-to/`](../how-to/)
- "What is...?" → [`docs/reference/`](../reference/)
- "Why...?" → [`docs/explanation/`](../explanation/)
---
## Migration Status
- ✅ `nix-flakes.md` → Migrated to `how-to/nix-flakes.md`
- ⏳ `nostr-sdk.md` → Being incorporated into reference docs
- ✅ `grasp-audit.md` → Content in `explanation/architecture.md`

**Status:** 🔜 Planned
**Examples:**
```bash
NGIT_RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=true
NGIT_RATE_LIMIT_ENABLED=false
```
---
## Configuration File (.env)
For development, create a `.env` file in the project root:
```bash
# .env file example
NGIT_DOMAIN=localhost:8080
NGIT_OWNER_NPUB=npub1alice...
NGIT_RELAY_NAME="Development Relay"
NGIT_RELAY_DESCRIPTION="Local development instance"
NGIT_GIT_DATA_PATH=./data/git
NGIT_RELAY_DATA_PATH=./data/relay
NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:8080
RUST_LOG=debug
```
**Notes:**
- Never commit `.env` to version control
- Use `.env.example` as a template
- Environment variables override `.env` values
---
## Validation
Configuration is validated at startup:
```rust
// Example validation errors:
Error: Invalid configuration
- NGIT_DOMAIN is required
- NGIT_OWNER_NPUB must start with 'npub1'
- NGIT_GIT_DATA_PATH is not writable
```
**Validation checks:**
- Required fields are present
- Values have correct format
- Paths are accessible and writable
- Ports are available
- npub keys are valid
---
## Production Configuration Example
```bash
# Production .env
NGIT_DOMAIN=gitnostr.com
NGIT_OWNER_NPUB=npub1alice...
NGIT_RELAY_NAME="GitNostr Public Relay"
NGIT_RELAY_DESCRIPTION="Public GRASP relay for open source projects"
NGIT_GIT_DATA_PATH=/var/lib/ngit-grasp/git
NGIT_RELAY_DATA_PATH=/var/lib/ngit-grasp/relay
NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:8080
RUST_LOG=info,ngit_grasp=debug
```
**Additional production considerations:**
- Use reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy) for HTTPS
- Set up log rotation
- Configure monitoring
- Implement backup strategy
- Use dedicated user account
- Set file permissions properly
---
## Development Configuration Example
```bash
# Development .env
NGIT_DOMAIN=localhost:8080
NGIT_OWNER_NPUB=npub1test...
NGIT_RELAY_NAME="Dev Relay"
NGIT_RELAY_DESCRIPTION="Local development"
NGIT_GIT_DATA_PATH=./data/git
NGIT_RELAY_DATA_PATH=./data/relay
NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:8080
RUST_LOG=debug
```
---
## Testing Configuration Example
```bash
# Testing .env
NGIT_DOMAIN=localhost:9999
NGIT_OWNER_NPUB=npub1test...
NGIT_RELAY_NAME="Test Relay"
NGIT_RELAY_DESCRIPTION="Automated testing"
NGIT_GIT_DATA_PATH=/tmp/ngit-test/git
NGIT_RELAY_DATA_PATH=/tmp/ngit-test/relay
NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:9999
RUST_LOG=debug
```
**Testing notes:**
- Use temporary directories
- Use non-standard ports
- Clean up after tests
- Isolate from development data
---
## Configuration Priority
When multiple configuration sources exist:
1. **Command-line arguments** (highest priority, planned)
2. **Environment variables**
3. **`.env` file**
4. **Default values** (lowest priority)
**Example:**
```bash
# .env file
NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:8080
# Environment variable (overrides .env)
NGIT_BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:3000 cargo run
# Result: binds to 0.0.0.0:3000
```

# Tutorial: Running Your First GRASP Audit
**Purpose:** Learn how to use grasp-audit to check GRASP compliance
**Time:** 10-15 minutes
**Prerequisites:** [Getting Started Tutorial](getting-started.md) completed
---
## What You'll Learn
By the end of this tutorial, you will:
- ✅ Understand what GRASP compliance means
- ✅ Run a compliance audit against a relay
- ✅ Interpret audit results
- ✅ Know how to use the audit tool in your own projects
---
## Step 1: Understanding GRASP Compliance
GRASP (Git Relays Authorized via Signed-Nostr Proofs) defines requirements for Git hosting with Nostr authorization.
**Key compliance areas:**
- **NIP-01**: Basic Nostr relay functionality
- **NIP-34**: Git repository events (kind 30317, 30318)
- **Git HTTP**: Smart HTTP protocol support
- **Authorization**: Push validation against state events
The `grasp-audit` tool verifies all of these automatically.
---
## Step 2: Start a Test Relay
For this tutorial, we'll use a standard Nostr relay:
```bash
# In a separate terminal window:
docker run --rm -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
# Keep this running throughout the tutorial
```
**What this does:** Starts a NIP-01 compliant Nostr relay on port 7000.
**Note:** This relay doesn't fully implement GRASP (no Git hosting), but we can test the Nostr parts.
---
## Step 3: Run the Audit Tool
Navigate to the grasp-audit directory and run:
```bash
cd grasp-audit
nix develop
# Run the integration tests (which include audits)
cargo test --ignored -- --test-threads=1
```
**What you'll see:**
```
running 3 tests
test tests::test_isolation_basic ... ok
test tests::test_isolation_cleanup ... ok
test tests::test_isolation_concurrent ... ok
test result: ok. 3 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
```
**What just happened?** The audit tool:
1. Connected to the relay on port 7000
2. Checked NIP-01 compliance (event submission, retrieval)
3. Tested isolation between test runs
4. Verified cleanup mechanisms
---
## Step 4: Use the Audit Library
Let's write a simple audit script. Create a new file:
```bash
# From grasp-audit directory
cat > examples/my_audit.rs << 'EOF'
use grasp_audit::prelude::*;
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
// Create an audit client
let client = AuditClient::new("ws://localhost:7000").await?;
println!("✅ Connected to relay");
// Test basic event submission
let test_event = client.create_test_event("Hello GRASP!").await?;
println!("✅ Created test event: {}", test_event.id);
// Verify we can retrieve it
let retrieved = client.get_event(&test_event.id).await?;
println!("✅ Retrieved event successfully");
println!("\n🎉 Basic audit passed!");
Ok(())
}
EOF
```
**Note:** This is a simplified example. The actual audit tool has more sophisticated checks.
---
## Step 5: Understanding Audit Results
When audits fail, you'll see detailed error messages:
```rust
// Example failure output:
Error: GRASP-01 compliance failed
- NIP-01: ✅ PASS
- NIP-34 kind 30317: ❌ FAIL - Relay rejected repository announcement
- NIP-34 kind 30318: ❌ FAIL - Relay rejected state event
- Git HTTP: ❌ NOT TESTED - No Git endpoint found
```
**How to interpret:**
- ✅ **PASS**: Feature works correctly
- ❌ **FAIL**: Feature broken or missing
- ⚠️ **PARTIAL**: Works but with issues
- ⏭️ **SKIPPED**: Couldn't test (dependency failed)
---
## Step 6: Audit a GRASP-Compliant Relay
To audit a real GRASP relay (when available):
```bash
# Example (relay doesn't exist yet):
cargo run --bin grasp-audit -- --relay wss://gitnostr.com
# Or use the library:
let client = AuditClient::new("wss://gitnostr.com").await?;
let results = client.run_full_audit().await?;
println!("{}", results.summary());
```
**What this would check:**
- Nostr relay functionality (NIP-01)
- Git event acceptance (NIP-34)
- Git HTTP endpoint availability
- Push authorization logic
- Multi-maintainer support
---
## Step 7: Automated Testing
The audit tool is designed for CI/CD integration:
```bash
# Run all tests (unit + integration)
cargo test --all
# Run only integration tests
cargo test --ignored
# Generate coverage report
cargo tarpaulin --ignored --out Html
```
**Use in CI:**
```yaml
# Example GitHub Actions
- name: Run GRASP Compliance Tests
run: |
docker run -d -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
cd grasp-audit
cargo test --ignored
```
---
## What You've Accomplished
Congratulations! You now:
✅ Understand GRASP compliance requirements
✅ Can run the audit tool against a relay
✅ Know how to interpret audit results
✅ Can integrate audits into your workflow
---
## Next Steps
### Learn more about testing:
- Read [Compliance Testing How-To](../how-to/test-compliance.md)
- Review [Test Strategy](../reference/test-strategy.md)
### Understand the protocols:
- Read [GRASP Protocol Reference](../reference/grasp-protocol.md)
- Review [Git Protocol Reference](../reference/git-protocol.md)
### Contribute to grasp-audit:
- Check open issues
- Add new compliance checks
- Improve error messages
---
## Troubleshooting
### "Connection refused" errors
- Make sure the relay is running: `docker ps`
- Check the port: `netstat -an | grep 7000`
- Verify the URL: `ws://localhost:7000` (not `wss://`)
### Tests timeout
- Relay might be slow to start
- Try running tests again after 5 seconds
- Check Docker logs: `docker logs <container-id>`
### "Event rejected" errors
- Expected for non-GRASP relays
- The relay might not support NIP-34
- This is normal for the tutorial relay
---
## Deep Dive: How Audits Work
The audit tool uses **isolated test environments**:
```rust
// Each test gets a unique identifier
let isolation = IsolationContext::new("my-test");
// Events are tagged with this identifier
let event = isolation.create_event("test content").await?;
// Cleanup removes only this test's events
isolation.cleanup().await?;
```
**Why isolation matters:**
- Tests don't interfere with each other
- Can run tests in parallel
- Easy cleanup (no leftover data)
See [Test Strategy Reference](../reference/test-strategy.md) for details.
---
## Summary
You've learned how to:
- Run GRASP compliance audits
- Interpret audit results
- Use the audit library
- Integrate audits into testing workflows
**Next tutorial:** [Deploying ngit-grasp](../how-to/deploy.md) (when main server is ready)

# Tutorial: Getting Started with ngit-grasp
**Purpose:** Learn the basics of ngit-grasp through hands-on setup
**Time:** 15-20 minutes
**Prerequisites:** Basic Git and command-line knowledge
---
## What You'll Learn
By the end of this tutorial, you will:
- ✅ Have a working ngit-grasp development environment
- ✅ Understand the basic project structure
- ✅ Run the test suite successfully
- ✅ Know where to go next
---
## Step 1: Clone the Repository
First, get the source code:
```bash
git clone https://gitworkshop.dev/ngit-grasp
cd ngit-grasp
```
**What just happened?** You cloned the ngit-grasp repository from the GRASP-enabled Git server.
---
## Step 2: Set Up Nix Development Environment
ngit-grasp uses Nix flakes for reproducible development environments.
```bash
# Enter the development environment
nix develop
# You should see a new shell with all dependencies available
```
**What just happened?** Nix read `flake.nix` and created a shell with:
- Rust toolchain (cargo, rustc)
- Git
- All required system libraries
**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.
---
## Step 3: Explore the Project Structure
Take a look around:
```bash
# View the project structure
ls -la
# Key directories:
# - src/ - Main ngit-grasp source code (coming soon)
# - grasp-audit/ - Compliance testing tool (working)
# - docs/ - Documentation (you are here!)
```
**What you're seeing:**
- `grasp-audit/` is a **subproject** with its own Cargo workspace
- Main ngit-grasp server implementation is planned but not yet started
- Documentation uses Diátaxis framework (tutorials, how-to, reference, explanation)
---
## Step 4: Work with grasp-audit
The compliance testing tool is the first working component. Let's try it:
```bash
# Navigate to grasp-audit
cd grasp-audit
# Enter its development environment
nix develop
# Build the project
cargo build
# Run unit tests
cargo test
```
**What just happened?**
- `grasp-audit` has its own `flake.nix` for isolated dependencies
- Unit tests run without external dependencies
- Integration tests (marked `#[ignore]`) require a Nostr relay
---
## Step 5: Run Your First Audit (Optional)
If you want to try the audit tool against a real relay:
```bash
# In a separate terminal, start a test relay:
docker run --rm -p 7000:7000 scsibug/nostr-rs-relay
# Back in grasp-audit directory:
cargo test --ignored -- --test-threads=1
```
**What just happened?** Integration tests connected to the relay on port 7000 and verified GRASP compliance.
**Note:** This step is optional. The relay must be running for these tests to pass.
---
## Step 6: Explore the Code
Let's look at a simple example:
```bash
# From grasp-audit directory
cat examples/simple_audit.rs
```
This shows how to use the `grasp-audit` library to check GRASP compliance.
---
## Step 7: Read the Documentation
Now that you have a working setup, explore the documentation:
```bash
# From project root
cd ..
ls docs/
```
**Recommended reading order:**
1. [Architecture Overview](../explanation/architecture.md) - Understand the design
2. [Inline Authorization](../explanation/inline-authorization.md) - Key decision
3. [Git Protocol Reference](../reference/git-protocol.md) - Technical details
---
## What You've Accomplished
Congratulations! You now have:
✅ A working Nix development environment
✅ Built and tested the grasp-audit tool
✅ Understanding of the project structure
✅ Knowledge of where to find more information
---
## Next Steps
### If you want to contribute:
1. Read [Architecture Overview](../explanation/architecture.md)
2. Check open issues on the repository
3. Review [Design Decisions](../explanation/decisions.md)
### If you want to deploy:
1. Follow [Deployment How-To](../how-to/deploy.md)
2. Review [Configuration Reference](../reference/configuration.md)
### If you want to understand GRASP:
1. Read [GRASP Protocol Reference](../reference/grasp-protocol.md)
2. Review [Comparison with ngit-relay](../explanation/comparison.md)
### If you want to run compliance tests:
1. Follow [Running Your First Audit Tutorial](first-audit.md)
2. Review [Compliance Testing How-To](../how-to/test-compliance.md)
---
## Troubleshooting
### "nix develop" doesn't work
- You might need Nix with flakes enabled
- See [Nix Flakes How-To](../how-to/nix-flakes.md)
### Build errors in grasp-audit
- Make sure you're in the `grasp-audit` directory
- Run `nix develop` first
- Check that you have network access (Cargo needs to download crates)
### Tests fail
- Unit tests should always pass
- Integration tests (`--ignored`) require a relay on port 7000
- Use `--test-threads=1` for integration tests
---
## Summary
You've successfully set up ngit-grasp and learned:
- How to use Nix flakes for development
- The project structure (main server + grasp-audit tool)
- How to build and test the code
- Where to find documentation

# Work Directory
**Purpose:** Temporary working documents during development sessions
**Lifecycle:** Created during session → Archived at session end
**Status:** `.gitignore`d - not committed to version control
---
## What Goes Here
- Session summaries and notes
- Status reports and visual summaries
- Migration documentation (during migration)
- Planning documents
- Temporary analysis files
**Rule:** Nothing in this directory should be permanent. Archive or delete at session end.
---
## Workflow
### During Session
```bash
# Create working docs here
echo "Session notes..." > work/session-notes.md
echo "Status..." > work/status.md
```
### End of Session
```bash
# Archive important docs
mv work/session-notes.md docs/archive/2025-11-04-session-notes.md
# Delete obsolete docs
rm work/status.md
# Clean up
rm -rf work/*
```
---
## .gitignore
This directory is ignored by git (except this README):
```
work/*
!work/README.md
```
**Why:** Working documents are session-specific and shouldn't clutter the repository.
---
## Best Practices
**DO:**
- ✅ Use for temporary session work
- ✅ Use descriptive names
- ✅ Archive valuable content before deleting
- ✅ Clean up at session end
**DON'T:**
- ❌ Put permanent documentation here
- ❌ Reference work/ docs from permanent docs
- ❌ Commit work/ contents to git
- ❌ Let it accumulate files
---
## Alternative: Session-Specific Directories
For complex sessions, create dated subdirectories:
```bash
work/
├── 2025-11-04-diataxis-migration/
│ ├── notes.md
│ ├── checklist.md
│ └── visual-summary.txt
└── 2025-11-05-feature-x/
└── plan.md
```
Archive the entire directory when done:
