Workspaces, their names and icons, renaming and deleting one, members and roles, and access tokens that belong to a workspace.

A workspace owns repositories and is the first part of their address: g1t.sh/<workspace>/<repo>. There is one kind. A workspace for just you and one for a company are the same thing with a different number of members, so there is no separate notion of an organization.

Your account does not own repositories itself. After confirming your email the first thing you do is create a workspace, and repositories go in it.

  1. Open g1t.sh/workspaces/new.
  2. Choose its name in URLs: lowercase letters, digits and single hyphens. An owner can change it later, and old addresses redirect for 90 days.
  3. Optionally give it a display name.

From the API, POST /workspaces with slug and name, or the create_workspace tool:

curl -X POST https://api.g1t.sh/workspaces \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $G1T_TOKEN" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"slug": "acme", "name": "Acme"}'

You can belong to up to ten workspaces. GET /user, or whoami, lists the ones you belong to.

Usernames and workspaces share one set of names, so a name means the same thing wherever it appears. Your username is reserved for you: only you can create a workspace with that name, and nobody can register a username that is already a workspace.

A workspace has two names:

Example Where it appears Changes
Display name Flagon Industries The sidebar, the top of its page, mission control and link previews Any time, up to 80 characters; spaces and capitals are fine
Slug flagon Every address: g1t.sh/flagon/<repo>, clone URLs, API paths and g1t.page app addresses By an owner, once a day at most; the old one redirects for 90 days. See rename a workspace

Without a display name, the slug is shown. Where an address is shown, the slug is in monospace beside the name. Owners change the display name and description on Settings → General; from the API, update_workspace.

A workspace also has an icon. Without one, g1t draws its first letter in a colour of its own. To upload one, an owner opens Settings → General and picks an image:

  • PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF, at most 1 MB. Square images look best.
  • An image is checked by its contents, not its name. SVG is refused, because it can carry script.
  • Remove goes back to the letter.

The icon then shows wherever the workspace does, and on its link previews (PNG and JPEG icons only). Each image is served from g1t.sh/avatars/<sha256>, an address named after its contents, so an icon that changes gets a new address and nothing shows the old one.

You can upload a picture of yourself the same way, under Settings → Picture.

Renaming changes the slug, the first part of every address under the workspace. The display name is separate; change it on its own under Settings → General → Workspace details. Only owners can rename a workspace.

  1. Open the workspace’s Settings → General and go to Address.
  2. Type the new slug. The field shows the new address, g1t.sh/<new>, and whether the name is available.
  3. Choose Change address, read what changes, type the new slug to confirm, and choose Change address again.

You land on the workspace’s settings at its new address. Repositories, issues and the rest move with it within a few seconds.

Before After
Pages g1t.sh/old/<repo> g1t.sh/new/<repo>
Git remotes https://g1t.sh/old/<repo>.git https://g1t.sh/new/<repo>.git
API paths https://api.g1t.sh/repos/old/<repo> https://api.g1t.sh/repos/new/<repo>
MCP tool arguments "owner": "old" "owner": "new"
Production apps https://<project>-old.g1t.page https://<project>-new.g1t.page
Previews https://<project>-git-<branch>-old.g1t.page https://<project>-git-<branch>-new.g1t.page

These stay the same: the display name, description and icon, members and roles, access tokens, secrets and variables, integrations, webhooks, issues and pull requests, and billing, plans and credit.

For 90 days after a rename, the old name keeps working:

Behaviour
Web pages Answer with a permanent redirect (301) to the same page under the new name, query string included.
git clone, fetch, pull and push Redirected to the new remote. Git follows it, but prints a warning each time until you update the remote.
API Calls to the old paths redirect to the new ones.
g1t.page apps Production and preview addresses under the old name redirect to the new ones.

Update your remotes now rather than relying on the redirect:

git remote set-url origin https://g1t.sh/<new>/<repo>.git

Update anything else that has the old name written into it, too: links in READMEs and docs, CI configuration, API clients and MCP clients.

  • A workspace can be renamed once every 24 hours.
  • For 90 days the old name is held for the workspace. Nobody else can take it, and you can rename back to it.
  • After 90 days the redirects stop, and anyone can create a workspace or register a username with the old name. Links and remotes that still use it then reach whatever has the name, or nothing.
  • The new name follows the same rules as a new workspace: lowercase letters, digits and single hyphens, up to 39 characters, not a reserved word, and not another workspace’s slug or someone else’s username.

Deleting a workspace removes it for good. Only an owner can, signed in as a person, and only once nothing is left in it.

Before you start:

  1. Move or delete its repositories. Transfer each one you want to keep to another workspace you own; their old addresses keep redirecting after the workspace is gone. Delete the ones you do not. Recently deleted repositories do not stand in the way: they are purged with the workspace, and cannot be restored afterwards.
  2. Move its projects out. A project that builds from a repository in another workspace does not move with a transfer; it stops the deletion until it is gone.
  3. Settle billing. See what billing needs.

Then:

  1. Open the workspace’s Settings → General and go to Danger zone. It says what is still in the way, if anything.
  2. Choose Delete workspace, read what happens, type the workspace’s slug to confirm, and choose Delete workspace again.

From the API, call DELETE /workspaces/{workspace} with the slug in confirm; the MCP tool is delete_workspace.

Money owed Charged to the workspace’s card at once, with no minimum charge. With no card, add one or pay from Billing first.
An unpaid invoice Pay it from Billing first.
Prepaid credit It would be lost: spend it, or write to support@g1t.sh about a refund, first.
Usage this month still being metered Storage and git operations are charged when the month closes. You can delete the workspace from the 1st of next month.
The g1t plan Ends at Stripe at once, not at the end of the period.
An enterprise account A workspace billed through one is moved off it by g1t first: write to support@g1t.sh.

A comped workspace owes nothing; only its plan is ended.

Members Lose access. Their own accounts are not touched: a person with no workspace left can still sign in, and create or join one.
Access tokens The workspace’s own tokens stop working at once. Personal tokens are not affected.
Webhooks, integrations, secrets and variables The workspace’s own are removed.
Memory and guardrails The workspace’s own are removed.
Statements, invoices and the ledger Kept, for accounting.
The audit log Kept for its usual 90 days, with the deletion as its last entry. With no owners left, ask support@g1t.sh for an export.
Recently deleted repositories Purged with it, their git data with them.
Old addresses Redirects for repositories transferred out keep working. The workspace’s own pages answer 404.

A deleted workspace’s slug is never given to another workspace or used as someone else’s username. Links and git remotes that still use it keep meaning what they meant: a transferred repository’s old address keeps redirecting to it, and nobody can take the name in the meantime.

The one exception: when the slug is your own username, you may create a workspace with that name again. It starts empty, on standard billing terms, and a repository made in it at an old address ends that address’s redirect.

Role Can
Member Create repositories, see the workspace’s usage and billing, and get the workspace’s base permission on every repository in it: Write unless an owner changes it, which is enough to push, manage issues, merge pull requests, plan work and put g1t agents to work.
Owner Everything a member can, and manage members, the base permission, the workspace’s access tokens, its details, and billing: the plan, card checks, prepayment and limits. Admin on every repository, and the only ones who can transfer and delete them; see access and roles.

Whoever creates a workspace is its owner. An owner adds people on the workspace’s Settings → Members, g1t.sh/<workspace>/-/people:

  • By username: someone already on g1t joins at once, as a member.
  • By email address: g1t emails an invite that only that address can use. Without a g1t account, accepting it makes the account and joins the workspace in one step, and uses one of the workspace’s granted invites, or else one of yours (see invites). With an account, it costs nothing, and they join when they accept. The page never says which it was.

Pending invites are listed under the members, with a link to copy and Revoke. An owner can also remove a member there. Through the API, use POST /workspaces/{workspace}/invitations (invite_member).

To give someone a role on one repository without making them a member, add them as an outside collaborator.

A workspace’s page, g1t.sh/<workspace>, shows its repositories and the pull requests in progress across them. Each person sees the repositories they can read: a member whose base permission is None, an outside collaborator or a visitor sees the public ones and those shared with them, without the workspace’s members, deployments or settings. Its members also see a Usage card there with this month’s spend.

The sidebar is one list, in groups: Mission control, the workspace’s Overview and Explore; its projects; what it builds and runs with across them (Agent fleet, Context, Memory, Security, Guardrails, Secrets and variables, Integrations and Webhooks); then Usage, what g1t agents have cost (see usage and billing), Support and Settings. An item with an arrow opens a list of its own in the sidebar: Settings slides over to the workspace’s settings, and the row at the top, ‹ Settings, slides back:

Settings Who
General Owners The icon, the display name, a one-line description and the address (the slug).
Members Members Who belongs, and their roles. Owners add and remove people, set the base permission, and see the Outside collaborators tab.
Repositories Members The workspace’s repositories. Owners also see Recently deleted, where a deleted repository can be restored, or purged, for 30 days.
Access tokens Members The workspace’s own tokens. Owners create and delete them.
Billing and plans Members The g1t plan, limits and the statement. Owners start the plan, check a card, prepay and set limits.
Audit log Members Every action agents, people and tokens took.

Integrations, secrets and variables, webhooks and guardrails are in the main list. Members see each; owners change them.

Opening a project slides the sidebar over to the project’s own list, with ‹ All projects at the top to go back. Its Settings opens one level further: General, Deployments, Domains, Agents, Guardrails, Repository, Access, Branches and merging, Secrets and variables and Webhooks, each for the roles that can use it. A link straight to any of these pages opens the sidebar already there.

A workspace has access tokens of its own, for CI, integrations and agents that work for a team. There is no shared service account to create, pay for or lose the password to.

Personal token Workspace token
Belongs to You The workspace
Acts as You The workspace: its name is the author of what it does
Can reach Every workspace you belong to That workspace only
Can do Everything you can Admin on the workspace’s repositories; it cannot manage people, tokens or workspaces
When its creator leaves Stops working Keeps working
Created by You, in Settings An owner, under the workspace’s Settings → Access tokens

They are the same kind of token and are sent the same way; see access tokens. With git, any username works; the token is the password. GET /user answers with "kind": "workspace" for one, and "kind": "user" for a personal token.

Every member can see a workspace’s tokens: the name, who created each and when it was last used. Only owners can create or delete them.

Every person has a profile at g1t.sh/u/<username>, apart from the workspaces at g1t.sh/<workspace>. Author names on issues and pull requests link to it.

What it shows. Your picture, name, username, pronouns, bio, location, website and when you joined; then your work in three tabs:

  • Overview: pull requests merged, open pull requests and issues opened, and your most recent activity.
  • Pull requests and Issues: everything you opened, newest first, with filters beside the list for state (open, closed, merged), type, repository and sort order. Add ?tab=pulls&state=merged and the like to link to a filtered list.

Edit it under Profile in Settings. Every field is optional. The bio takes up to 160 characters and is also what a link to your profile says. The website must be an https:// address; example.com is saved as https://example.com. Your email address is never shown.

Who sees what. A profile is public, but the work and workspaces on it are filtered for whoever is looking:

On the profile Shown to a visitor when
An issue or pull request, and its title They can read its repository: it is public, or they are a member of its workspace
The counts Only what they could see is counted
A workspace They are a member of it too, or you made a public project in it, whose page shows that already

Someone signed out sees your public work and the workspaces where you made a public project; nothing else. The link preview for a profile uses only public work.
