SigilWatch

A self-hosted repository dashboard for GitHub and Codeberg/Forgejo, written in Sigil. It pulls metadata from your forges into a local SQLite database and presents it as a dark-mode web UI.

What it does

SigilWatch syncs repos you own or watch across multiple forges and gives you a single view of their health. It tracks branches, commits, releases, open issues, open pull requests, README/license presence, and flags repos that have gone stale.

You can sync all repos for a configured owner or add individual repos from any user on a supported forge.

GitHub uses the GraphQL API (one request per owner instead of dozens). Codeberg and other Forgejo/Gitea instances use the REST API.

Getting started

sigil deps install
sigil build
sigil run

The server starts on port 3333 by default. Open http://localhost:3333 and head to Settings to add your forges and owners, then visit Sync to pull your repos.

Configuration

SigilWatch reads its config from ~/.config/sigilwatch/config.sgl. You can manage it through the Settings page in the web UI, or edit it directly:

(config
  (forge name: "GitHub" type: "github" url: "https://github.com")
  (forge name: "Codeberg" type: "forgejo" url: "https://codeberg.org")
  (owner forge: "GitHub" name: "your-username" mine: #t token-env: "GITHUB_TOKEN")
  (owner forge: "Codeberg" name: "your-username" mine: #t token-env: "CODEBERG_TOKEN"))

Tokens can be set via environment variables (recommended) or stored directly in the config file.

Env Variable	Default	Description
PORT	3333	HTTP server port
SIGILWATCH_DB	data/sigilwatch.db	SQLite database path
