Slightly off topic: Is the git frontend [1] open source? If not, are there some very light self hosting ones like it?

Googling a bit of the stylesheet suggests that it's stagit, a static page generator for git repos:
https://codemadness.org/stagit.html
Contrast these two pages, and you'll see it's a match:

Anyone know how they're hosting their repositories? https://thelig.ht/code/ is actually kind of nice and minimalist; I was hoping to set up the same thing, mostly just for kicks.

This is a cool page about creating chladni patterns in code https://thelig.ht/chladni
