docs: cutover — Windy Git is the daily driver
9 repos migrated writable with push-mirrors to GitHub (sync_on_commit). Full loop proven end to end: pushed a commit to Windy Git, its existing workflow ran on Veron 1, and GitHub received the commit within 20s. Documents the one rule the cutover creates: do NOT push directly to GitHub for a migrated repo. The mirror makes GitHub match Windy Git, so a direct commit is overwritten on the next sync, silently, with no conflict. One writer is the point — two writers with no reconciliation is how you lose work you thought was saved. windy-pro deliberately excluded until its six-checkout / forked-counter ambiguity is resolved by reading (G11.5).

# Windy Git is the daily driver — 2026-08-13
|
||||
|
||||
Grant's call, 2026-08-12: **push to Windy Git; GitHub is the second copy.**
|
||||
|
||||
you ──push──▶ Windy Git (Veron 1) ──▶ CI on 24 cores
|
||||
│
|
||||
└──push-mirror on every commit──▶ GitHub
|
||||
|
||||
## 🔴 The one rule this creates
|
||||
|
||||
**Do not push directly to GitHub for a migrated repo.**
|
||||
|
||||
A push mirror makes GitHub match Windy Git. Anything committed straight to
|
||||
GitHub is **overwritten on the next sync**, silently, with no conflict and no
|
||||
warning. That is the cost of having one writer, and one writer is the point —
|
||||
two writers with no reconciliation is how you lose work you thought was saved.
|
||||
|
||||
If you must hotfix on GitHub: push there, then immediately pull that commit into
|
||||
Windy Git *before* anything triggers a mirror sync. Better: don't.
|
||||
|
||||
## Migrated (9)
|
||||
|
||||
`windy-calendar` · `windy-search` · `windy-registry` · `Windy-Clone` ·
|
||||
`WindyCloud` · `windy-cloud-sites` · `windy-mind` · `eternitas` · `windy-agent`
|
||||
|
||||
All writable (`mirror=false`), all push-mirroring to GitHub with
|
||||
`sync_on_commit: true`. Clone from `https://app.windygit.com/windyadmin/<repo>.git`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Not migrated on purpose:** `windy-pro`. Six checkouts exist, the build counter
|
||||
has forked three ways (main 12 / overnight 34 / wave-44 56), and two sessions
|
||||
recorded different HEADs hours apart. Resolve which is current and write it
|
||||
down first (G11.5). The import script refuses it by name.
|
||||
|
||||
## CI
|
||||
|
||||
The runner advertises `veron-1`, `linux-x64`, `self-hosted`, `linux`, `x64`.
|
||||
**36 of 36 active workflows in the fleet already say
|
||||
`runs-on: [self-hosted, linux, x64]`** — they were written for the self-hosted
|
||||
runners that died when the repos went private, so they run **as-is, unedited**.
|
||||
|
||||
Proven: `windy-calendar`'s existing `.github/workflows/ci.yml` ran on Veron 1
|
||||
and reported success with no changes.
|
||||
|
||||
**Per-repo secrets are not imported.** A repo whose CI needs a database URL or
|
||||
an API key will fail until those are set in its Gitea repo settings. Set them as
|
||||
each repo needs them, not speculatively.
|
||||
|
||||
## Backups
|
||||
|
||||
Nightly `windygit-backup.timer` at 04:17 (`Persistent=true`, so a window missed
|
||||
while the workstation is off is caught up rather than skipped). Every repo is
|
||||
bundled `--all`, verified, and uploaded to R2 with the `windgit` schema.
|
||||
|
||||
**Restore is rehearsed, not assumed:** a bundle was pulled back from R2, cloned,
|
||||
and its HEAD matched live `origin/main` exactly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Verify the loop yourself
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://app.windygit.com/windyadmin/windy-calendar.git
|
||||
cd windy-calendar && git commit --allow-empty -m "probe" && git push
|
||||
# CI runs on Veron 1; GitHub receives the commit within ~20s
|
||||
```
