gittuf provides a security layer for Git using some concepts introduced by The Update Framework (TUF). Among other features, gittuf handles key management for all developers on the repository, allows you to set permissions for repository branches, tags, files, etc., lets you use new cryptographic algorithms (SHA256, etc.), protects against other attacks Git is vulnerable to, and more — all while being backwards compatible with GitHub, GitLab, etc.
gittuf is a sandbox project at the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) as part of the Supply Chain Integrity Working Group.
gittuf is currently approaching an alpha release. It is NOT intended for use in a production system or repository. Contributions are welcome, please refer to the contributing guide. Some of the features listed above are being actively developed, please refer to the roadmap and the issue tracker for more details.
gittuf requires Go 1.20 or higher.
The tool can be installed using go install as follows:
$ go install github.com/gittuf/gittuf@latestAlternatively, you can clone the repository and run make. This will also run
