**Chat log** from Bead: Devops Git · [canonical source](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/974d57e3-b2f1-44d6-930c-73d9aad07aeb/2026-06-18/chats/2026-06-18-devops-git.md) · session 2026-06-18 · discussion: Talk: Devops Git *Verbatim chat log: immutable provenance. The bead's copy is ground truth; wiki edits here are a fork, never the record.*
Verbatim user prompts; assistant turns summarized with pointers to the durable artifacts. Ground truth; if it conflicts with the polished notes, this wins.
## Turn 1 — open the bead (verbatim) > start-bead devops-git > > have it look through all the beads in the last 2 weeks mentioning git and the our dev methodolgy. eg > keep the git with the bead and reference the bead in the deployments > > i want devops to start having github-like functionality that can search for and keep an index of the > current gits in the beads. > > We also sometimes put the .git with the applicaton uri's tha we deploy. that would be treated as a > fork. > > We also have our /src directory one level up from /sites/ that manages external repos like taos-engine. > Or agentscript.org as a .git repository too. > > one first task is to make an html artifact that let's me select one of the gits (i'll start with > image-pose-uxui bead) and see its commit tree and history *(Context: IDE had `7610bb17/.../README.md` open — the through-the-lens-campanile bead, sibling of image-pose-uxui. Not the task; noted in passing.)* ### Assistant actions this turn 1. Read the bead protocol (`.ai/START-HERE.md`, `.ai/beads.md`, `prepare-new-bead` SKILL). 2. Generated GUID `974d57e3-b2f1-44d6-930c-73d9aad07aeb`; found all `.git` dirs under `sites/` + `src/`. 3. Inspected `#image-pose-uxui`'s `repo/` (41 commits, branch-per-step DAG with merges). 4. Dispatched a survey subagent over two weeks of git/methodology beads. Findings: the rules are already ratified across `#git-and-beads` (`d9dfa5e4`), the `#devops` charter (`64be6d29`), `#acequia-git` (`ab96c2ea`, the decentralized git-serving node + "github-like functions" note), and `#git-interactive-visualization` (`9206f228`, a vision note, **no code yet**). No git-repo registry exists. → devops-git positioned as the **runnable index + first viewer**, mounting those four. 5. Built the tooling (dependency-free Node + git): - `skills/git-index/scan-gits.mjs` → `gits-index.json` — discover + classify all repos. - `skills/git-index/dump-log.mjs` + `build-logs.mjs` → `logs/<id>.json` — per-repo commit DAG. - Chose the **precomputed-JSON** horn of `9206f228`'s open-Q #2 (vs in-browser isomorphic-git) — WebDAV-native. 6. Scanned **27 repos**: 12 bead-repo / 11 deploy-fork / 2 external-src / 2 external-mirror. Built 25/27 logs (2 ecostem repos corrupt/empty). Catalog in [notes/01-git-index.md](../notes/01-git-index.md). 7. Built `artifacts/commit-tree.html` — sidebar grouped by kind + filter, railroad commit-graph (lane assignment + bezier edges) + commit list; defaults to image-pose-uxui. Verified the lane algorithm in Node (41 commits, all 57 edges resolved) and **screenshotted it headless** (Chrome) — renders the GitHub-style railroad correctly. 8. Scaffolded the bead docs: about.md, README, names.json (7 mounts), uploads/README, notes 00 + 01. Durable outputs (where full text lives): - about.md, notes/00-orientation.md, notes/01-git-index.md - skills/git-index/{scan-gits,dump-log,build-logs}.mjs - artifacts/commit-tree.html, artifacts/gits-index.json, artifacts/logs/*.json
