A Common Data Environment

Git^AEC is a git-based Common Data Environment (CDE) developed on top of Forgejo with :

• An IFC file viewer based on ThatOpen SDK.
• An automation system based on GitHub Actions API.

An Open Platform

Git^AEC is a free and open source software. Run the platform with our Docker image.

docker run -p 3000:3000 gitaec.org/rvba/gitaec:0.2

📢 Due to the persistent threat of AI-related DDoS attacks,
the Docker image is no longer being provided until a robust and sustainable solution is found.
