Quick Start

Using an AI coding agent? Skip the manual setup — see the Agent Onboarding guide to sign up, verify, and get an API key entirely from the terminal.

1. Create an Account

2. Generate an API Key

Navigate to Dashboard → API Keys and create a new key. Copy it — you'll only see it once.

3. Create a Repository

curl -X POST https://api.coregit.dev/v1/repos \
  -H "x-api-key: cgk_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"slug": "hello-world", "visibility": "private"}'

4. Commit Files

curl -X POST https://api.coregit.dev/v1/repos/hello-world/commits \
  -H "x-api-key: cgk_live_YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "branch": "main",
    "message": "Add README",
    "changes": [
      {"path": "README.md", "content": "# Hello from Coregit"}
    ]
  }'

5. Clone with Git

git clone https://your-org:cgk_live_YOUR_KEY@api.coregit.dev/your-org/hello-world.git

That's it! You now have a Git repository managed entirely through the API.
