Gitalist is a Git web interface written in Perl using the Catalyst framework. It aims to provide feature parity with gitweb.cgi while having an easier to extend codebase that better represents modern Perl. The project started by wrapping gitweb.cgi but has evolved over several steps to implement all actions using an object-oriented model without reliance on gitweb.pm. Future work includes adding more tests, improving configurability, and enhancing the interface.
