feat: Add self-hosted Git provider support

Summary

Adds support for connecting GitHub Enterprise Server and GitLab Self-Managed installations alongside GitHub.com and GitLab.com by configuring a self-hosted server URL and authenticating with a personal access token.

What changed

  • Self-hosted server configuration — self-hosted hosts are normalized/validated (GitProviderHost.configured) for GitHub and GitLab; invalid HTTPS URLs, empty tokens, and Bitbucket hosts are rejected with an error message (connectPersonalAccessToken in macgit/App/GitProviderAccountController.swift).
  • Personal access token connection — new connectPersonalAccessToken(host:accessToken:replacing:) flow validates the token against the server's user API via the GitHub/GitLab auth services before storing, and supports replacing a token on an existing account.
  • Pro gating — connecting or reconnecting self-hosted servers requires Pro access (hasProAccess, canConnectSelfHosted, authorizeConnection).
  • Repository discovery — new GitProviderRepositoryDiscoveryService, plus GitProviderDiscoveredRepository and GitProviderRepositoryPage models, and a GitProviderRepositoryBrowser UI with "Load more" paging. GitLab discovery uses membership filtering (per docs).
  • Credential & routing updates — credential resolution, remote identity resolution, clone, remote credential, branch protection, PR/MR, and repository visibility services updated to use the configured server and matching credentials.
  • UI — GitProviderAddAccountSheet gains a "Self-hosted server" option and token entry; RepoPickerView integrates the repository browser.
  • Docs — new docs/self-hosted-git-providers.md and a README link.
  • Tests — new macgitTests/SelfHostedGitProviderTests.swift and additions to GitProviderAccountControllerTests.

Notes / scope

  • Self-hosted connections use personal access tokens; instance-specific OAuth setup is not included. OAuth remains the connection method for GitHub.com and GitLab.com.
  • HTTPS certificate validation is not disabled; certificate errors must be resolved via macOS Keychain.
  • SSH is supported for connectivity/keys, but SSH-only accounts do not provide API discovery or PR/MR access unless an API token is retained. SSH URLs cannot disambiguate shared-hostname installations with different HTTPS port/subpath.
  • Per the docs, validation status: automated coverage exists for parsing, remote identification, credential isolation, auth endpoint routing, discovery, and API routing. Final deployment-specific verification against live GitHub Enterprise Server and GitLab Self-Managed installations (including clone/fetch/pull/push and PR/MR) is still required; no minimum server version has been certified.

Uncertainty

The review patch was truncated mid-file (after connectPersonalAccessToken in GitProviderAccountController.swift). Details of the remaining changed files (discovery service, browser view, credential resolver, and other services) are not visible here and are not described beyond file-level changes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for connecting to self-hosted GitHub and GitLab servers using HTTPS personal access tokens or SSH.
    • Added a repository browser for supported connected accounts to select repositories when cloning.
    • Added setup and troubleshooting documentation for self-hosted providers.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved support for server-specific URLs, including installations hosted under a subpath, across repository browsing and Git operations.
    • Improved connection error messages and handling of invalid or expired credentials.

Changes

Self-hosted Git providers

Layer / File(s) Summary
Host configuration and identity
macgit/Models/GitProviderAccountModels.swift, macgit/Services/GitRemoteIdentityResolver.swift, macgit/Services/GitProviderCredentialResolver.swift, macgit/Services/GitProviderAccountPreferenceStore.swift, macgit/Services/GitProviderTokenVault.swift, macgit/Services/LocalGitProviderAccountStore.swift, macgit/App/PullRequestController.swift, macgit/App/RepositoryVisibilityController.swift, macgit/Services/GitStatusService+RemoteCredential.swift, macgit/Views/Account/GitProviderAccountsPresentationPolicy.swift, macgitTests/SelfHostedGitProviderTests.swift, macgitTests/GitProviderAccountsSectionTests.swift, macgitTests/GitProviderTokenVaultTests.swift
Host configuration retains permitted paths and ports. Remote matching uses configured provider hosts, and host identity keys distinguish installations. Token migration covers eligible GitLab HTTPS accounts. Tests cover host parsing, remote matching, and credential isolation.
Account setup and access
macgit/App/GitProviderAccountController.swift, macgit/App/macgitApp.swift, macgit/Services/GitProviderAccountAccessPolicy.swift, macgit/Views/Account/GitProviderAddAccountSheet.swift, macgitTests/GitProviderAccountControllerTests.swift, README.md, docs/self-hosted-git-providers.md
The account flow supports self-hosted HTTPS personal access tokens and SSH, and checks Pro access for self-hosted connections. The app refreshes connection access when entitlement changes. The guide describes setup, token permissions, and troubleshooting.
Provider APIs and repository discovery
macgit/Services/GitHubProviderAuthService.swift, macgit/Services/GitHubPullRequestService.swift, macgit/Services/GitHubRepositoryVisibilityService.swift, macgit/Services/GitLabProviderAuthService.swift, macgit/Services/GitLabPullRequestService.swift, macgit/Services/GitLabRepositoryVisibilityService.swift, macgit/Services/BranchProtectionService.swift, macgit/Services/GitProviderRepositoryDiscoveryService.swift, macgit/Models/GitProviderDiscoveredRepository.swift, macgit/Models/GitProviderRepositoryPage.swift, macgitTests/SelfHostedGitProviderTests.swift
Authentication, pull request, visibility, and branch-protection requests use configured API hosts. Repository discovery supports GitHub and GitLab pagination. Tests cover enterprise API routing, discovery, and authentication errors.
Repository selection and cloning
macgit/Views/Common/GitProviderRepositoryBrowser.swift, macgit/Views/MainWindow/RepoPickerView.swift, macgit/Services/GitStatusService+Clone.swift, docs/self-hosted-git-providers.md
The repository browser lists repositories for connected accounts and passes the selected account into the clone flow. Branch discovery, cloning, and LFS recovery use the clone credential resolver. The guide describes repository operations and SSH limitations.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b1c87

The new Swift files meet the repository’s license-notice requirement. No actionable merge-blocking issue remains after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to b1c87

Direct credential selection distinguishes installations by host, port, and path. However, recursive cloning can carry a selected installation’s token to another service under the same HTTPS host and port. This matters for GitLab installations separated by URL paths.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Installation isolation stops before inherited Git authentication. The resolver checks the initial HTTPS remote against its installation path, but recursive clone subprocesses inherit a token helper restricted only to scheme, hostname, and port. With recursion enabled, repository-controlled submodule configuration can point to a separately controlled sibling-path service on that authority; an authentication challenge there can receive the parent installation’s PAT without another installation-aware resolution. The helper is unchanged, but this PR newly supports path-separated installations. Direct remote matching and cross-authority rejection do not enforce that boundary for inherited requests.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The retained attack path exposes the PAT selected for a Git operation, not arbitrary Keychain entries. Exploitation requires recursive cloning of attacker-influenced repository content and an attacker-controlled authentication endpoint on the same HTTPS hostname and port outside the selected installation path. A captured PAT can exercise its existing permissions against the original installation, potentially spanning all repositories and API actions authorized to that token.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A submodule URL can cross the new installation-path boundary without crossing the helper’s authority boundary. The parent clone resolves its token once and passes the helper environment to recursive Git execution. The helper discards the request path when checking authority, so an authentication prompt for a sibling-path endpoint can receive the parent token. This is a source-derived attack path, not a runtime reproduction.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Direct HTTPS credential selection matches configured hostname, port, and installation path and rejects unmatched same-host remotes rather than falling back to a root installation. The inherited helper rejects different authorities, and recursive cloning is disabled by default. These controls limit the retained concern but do not restrict inherited requests to the selected installation path.
  • observed — SSH identity matching intentionally treats HTTPS API ports and paths differently from SSH addressing. Multiple configured installations sharing a hostname are rejected as ambiguous. PAT resolution requires HTTPS, so SSH matching alone does not release a PAT; SSH connection settings and server identity remain separate controls.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Clone registers credential cleanup after successful injection creation. Git data is cloned before LFS recovery, and an LFS failure returns the existing checkout for retry rather than requiring another clone. These mechanisms bound normal credential lifetime and preserve recovery state; they do not establish crash cleanup or installation-path enforcement.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Enforce normalized installation identity at the final Git authentication request, including the installation base path, or resolve credentials independently for recursive destinations. Explicitly reject sibling-installation requests and validate the same-authority submodule case without relying solely on the initial remote check.

accounts as requiring reauthorization. Preserve the write_repository check for
other GitLab HTTPS accounts.

Review comments at @macgit/Services/GitProviderTokenVault.swift:
- Line 30: Update the account-reload token lookup around
GitProviderHost.identityKey to check the legacy hostname-only Keychain key for
non-default-port GitLab HTTPS accounts; migrate it only when exactly one
persisted account owns that key, and leave colliding accounts unavailable for
manual reconnection. Keep SSH credential handling unchanged.

Review comments at @macgit/Views/MainWindow/RepoPickerView.swift:
- Around line 1299-1301: Update the Source URL field’s user-edit binding in
RepoPickerView to clear discoveredAccountID whenever the user changes the URL.
Preserve the browser’s direct state update so repository selections made through
the browser retain their discovered account.

Review comments at @macgitTests/SelfHostedGitProviderTests.swift:
- Line 1: Replace the SPDX-only header in SelfHostedGitProviderTests.swift with
the repository’s standard AGPL v3 license header, including the required GNU
Affero General Public License and trantienthanh2412@gmail.com markers.
