Opengist
A Git-powered pastebin for code snippets and notes
Important: After installation, create your account promptly. The first registered account becomes administrator. You can disable further registrations from the admin configuration.
Opengist is an open-source pastebin and code snippet platform powered by Git. It lets you create, edit, organize, version, and share code snippets, notes, Markdown files, scripts, configuration examples, and small file collections in a clean and lightweight interface.
Each snippet is stored as its own Git repository, so changes can be tracked over time and managed through the web interface or with standard Git commands over HTTP or SSH. Snippets can be public, unlisted, or private, giving you control over what stays personal and what can be shared with others.
Opengist includes syntax highlighting, Markdown rendering, multiple files per snippet, drag-and-drop uploads, ZIP downloads, revision history, diffs, search, topics, likes, forks, embeds, and JSON access. It also supports different authentication options, making it flexible for personal use, small teams, and homelab setups.
It is a practical alternative to GitHub Gist for developers, self-hosters, administrators, and anyone who wants a simple place to store and share reusable code, commands, configuration examples, or technical notes.
