For the front-end part, there are some options:

- cgit [1]: uses CGI to dynamically serve your repos, many customize it - git2html [2]: generates static pages

On that list, there are projects like https://github.com/Hypercubed/git2html . It makes a set of static files, which could be uploaded to any static hosting provider, including github pages.

Finally found a magic word that gets me somewhere in the search engines... git2html. [Hypercubed/git2html](https://github.com/Hypercubed/git2html) is the first hit. reading as we speak. Any alternatives / experience greatly appreciated though.

Can't find anything else really, and most discussions are years old. Anyone?
