	1	1	# Vole
	2	2
	3		A forge that lives in your Git repo.
	4
	5		Vole keeps a project's work beside its code. Issues, comments, change requests,
	6		reviews, and releases are stored in Git, so a clone carries all of it. CI history
	7		stays on your own instance.
	8
	9		## Why Vole
	10
	11		- An outage does not stop you. Nothing sits in a vendor's database, so a clone
	12		with the code is a copy of the work.
	13		- CI runs where you put it. Start a runner anywhere with Docker, Podman, or
	14		nerdctl and Vole sends it work over SSH. A spare desktop is a build machine.
	15		- One binary, one config file. No database server, no message queue, and no
	16		proxy: Vole obtains its own TLS certificates. No cloud account needed.
	17		- Sign in without passwords. People who file issues enroll a passkey from a
	18		one-time link, so there is no password database to protect.
	19		- Small on purpose. Fewer moving parts, and a codebase you can read end to
	20		end.
	21
	22		Vole is deliberately smaller than GitHub or GitLab. If you need a wide feature
	23		matrix or enterprise controls, another forge will serve you better.
