This is the case because we +partially see this as [an experiment][] in tooling for monorepos. + +# Highlights + +## Services + +* Source code is available primarily through Sourcegraph on + [cs.tvl.fyi](https://cs.tvl.fyi), where it is searchable and even semantically + indexed. A lower-tech view of the repository is also available via cgit-pink + on [code.tvl.fyi](https://code.tvl.fyi). + + The repository can be cloned using `git` from `https://cl.tvl.fyi/depot`. + +* All code in the depot, with the exception of code that is checked in to + individual `//users` folders, needs to be reviewed. We use Gerrit on + [cl.tvl.fyi](https://cl.tvl.fyi) for this. + +* Issues are tracked via our own issue tracker on + [b.tvl.fyi](https://b.tvl.fyi). Its source code lives at + [`//web/panettone/`][panettone]. + +* Smaller todo-list entries which do not warrant a separate issue are listed at + [todo.tvl.fyi](https://todo.tvl.fyi). + +* We use Buildkite for CI. Recent builds are listed on + [tvl.fyi/builds](https://tvl.fyi/builds) and pipelines are configured + dynamically via + [`//ops/pipelines`](https://cs.tvl.fyi/depot/-/tree/ops/pipelines). + +* A search service that makes TVL services available via textual + shortcuts is available: [atward](https://at.tvl.fyi) + +All services that we host are deployed on NixOS machines that we manage. Their +configuration is tracked in `//ops/{modules,machines}`. + +## Nix + +* [`//nix/readTree`](https://cs.tvl.fyi/depot/-/blob/nix/readTree/README.md) + contains the Nix code which automatically registers projects in our Nix + attribute hierarchy based on their in-tree location +* [`//tools/nixery`](https://cs.tvl.fyi/depot/-/tree/tools/nixery) + contains the source code of [Nixery][], a container registry that + can build images ad-hoc from Nix packages +* `//nix/yants` contains **Y**et **A**nother **N**ix **T**ype **S**ystem, which + we use for a variety of things throughout the repository +* `//nix/buildGo` implements a Nix library that can build Go software in the + style of Bazel's `rules_go`. Go programs in this repository are built using + this library. +* `//nix/buildLisp` implements a Nix library that can build Common Lisp + software. Currently only SBCL is supported. Lisp programs in this repository + are built using this library. +* `//web/blog` and `//web/atom-feed`: A Nix-based static site generator which + generates the web page and Atom feed for [tazj.in](https://tazj.in) + (`//users/tazjin/homepage`) and [tvl.fyi](https://tvl.fyi) (`//web/tvl`) +* `//web/bubblegum` contains a CGI-based web framework written in Nix. +* `//nix/nint`: A shebang-compatible interpreter wrapper for Nix. +* `//tvix` contains initial work towards a modular architecture for Nix. + +We have a variety of other tools and libraries in the `//nix` folder which may +be of interest. + +## Packages / Libraries + +* `//net/alcoholic_jwt` contains an easy-to-use JWT-validation library for Rust +* `//net/crimp` contains a high-level HTTP client using cURL for Rust +* `//tools/emacs-pkgs` contains various useful Emacs libraries, for example: + * `dottime.el` provides [dottime][] in the Emacs modeline + * `nix-util.el` provides editing utilities for Nix files + * `term-switcher.el` is an ivy-function for switching between vterm buffers + * `tvl.el` provides helper functions for interacting with the TVL monorepo +* `//lisp/klatre` provides a grab-bag utility library for Common Lisp + +## User packages + +Contributors to the repository have user directories under +[`//users`](https://cs.tvl.fyi/depot@canon/-/tree/users), which can be used for +personal or experimental code that does not require review. + +Some examples: + +* `//users/grfn/xanthous`: A (WIP) TUI RPG, written in Haskell. +* `//users/tazjin/emacs`: tazjin's Emacs & EXWM configuration +* `//users/tazjin/finito`: A persistent finite-state machine library for Rust. + +# Licensing + +Unless otherwise stated in a subdirectory, all code is licensed under the MIT +license.
