gitrap is for forums what gh-pages is for websites

Code Now

GitRap allows you to store conversations with your collaborators in your GIT repositories (in a specific branch named "gitrap").

This GitRap client runs entirely in your browser (no backend needed) and uses GitHub's API to read/write data to and from the branch "gitrap" of your repositories. The concept of GitRap is not related to GitHub and can be used with any GIT repositories but not in this client-side application.

Try it: friendcode.github.io/gitrap/

How does it work ?

FileSystem layout

It's really simple : GitRap uses a separate branch named "gitrap" in the source repository to store all the conversations as trees
