Why RepoWrangler
๐ Automatic discovery
Install a read-only GitHub App and new repos appear on the dashboard without configuration. Webhooks give near-real-time updates; checkpointed reconciliation repairs anything a missed webhook broke.
๐จ Attention-first
The Command Center leads with what's wrong โ failing pipelines, blocked and stale pull requests, unmerged branches, security findings โ ranked by severity, with an explanation for every finding. No opaque health scores.
๐ค Honest about missing data
"0 findings" and "API not authorized" are different states, and the UI never converts one into the other.
๐ฟ Branch intelligence
"main is current" actually means something: ahead/behind/diverged comparison of active branches, with change-request tracking and bot-branch exclusions.
๐ Provider-neutral core
The domain model knows workspaces, repositories, change requests, and pipelines. GitHub and GitLab are adapters โ read-only toward your providers by design.
๐ช Demo mode out of the box
Deploy with zero secrets and explore a synthetic estate evaluated by the real health rules engine. That's what powers the public demo.
Choose how you want to deploy
Recommended: Ranch Hand Public Preview for Windows
Use the primary standalone Windows lifecycle manager to verify a release, build a secret-free deployment plan, run preflight checks, and deploy without cloning the RepoWrangler source repository. The current build is an unsigned Public Preview; it is unsigned, not production-supported, and not GA. Download Ranch Hand and get started โ
Supported alternative: manual recipes or your own automation
Clone or fork the repository, consume immutable release artifacts, or use your own GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, and CI/CD tooling. This remains the supported path for production, contributors, Kubernetes, and custom topologies. Compare every deployment option โ
Deploy anywhere. Own your data.
# the whole product on Node + SQLite in one container docker compose up --build # http://localhost:8080
RepoWrangler is platform-neutral: the same app runs on a laptop, a self-hosted Docker container, Kubernetes, Azure, or Cloudflare. A single Cloudflare Worker + D1 on the free tier is the reference deployment โ the simplest, cheapest path โ not a dependency. Choose a deployment method and target.
