You need to provide one yourself. This should be in your website's `/` path (usually `index.html`). -The protocol handler uses the path `/?url=%s`. Additionally, your main page needs to include the `index.js` provided by GAnarchy -for the protocol handler to properly work. - First, initialize the database with `ganarchy.py initdb`. The database is stored in the XDG data home, as per XDG spec. -Then, set the project commit with `ganarchy.py set-commit COMMIT`, where `COMMIT` is the full commit hash. -The commit *must* start with `[Project]` followed by the project name, and may have an optional description. -(Note: This requirement isn't properly checked, but will be in the future. This is important for a future federation -protocol that allows for automatically discovering forks based on the project commit.) - -Once everything is initialized, add some repos with `ganarchy.py repo add URL`, and enable or disable them with `ganarchy.py repo enable URL` or -`ganarchy.py repo disable URL`. They currently come enabled by default. You are now ready to go. - -Finally, add `ganarchy.py cron-target > path/to/page.html` to your cron.
