Move download path templates, priority tags, and auto-organize
exclusions out of the Library settings section into a dedicated
Organization section, so Library keeps location-focused settings
(roots, extra paths, example images, metadata) and Organization holds
file-arrangement rules. Translated settings.nav.organization for all
locales.
Add a reusable directory-picker modal backed by a new generic
POST /api/lm/browse-directory endpoint (browse logic extracted from the
recipe batch-import handler into py/utils/directory_browser.py) and wire
a browse button plus advisory validate-path feedback (POST
/api/lm/validate-path) into the settings path inputs: recipes path,
example images path/local root, and the extra-folder/model-path rows.
The browse button insets into the right edge of static inputs so narrow
settings rows keep their single-control layout.
Translations for the new settings.directoryPicker and
settings.pathValidation keys are filled in for all 9 locales.
A ModelScope or Hugging Face download landed as a bare filename, hash and
source link; the model card stayed empty until the user ran "Enrich
Metadata with AI" by hand. But everything that makes a CivitAI download
useful — the display name, the description, the tags, the trigger words,
the example images, the preview — is already published by those sites'
public APIs, so asking for it at download time is deterministic work, not
model work.
Add `py/services/model_sources/hydration.py`, called by
`_save_source_metadata()` once the sidecar exists and the file is in the
scanner cache. It fetches the model card plus the site's card extras and
hands them to the same `PostProcessor` the AI skill uses, with an empty
`llm_output`, so the two paths cannot drift apart. What lands:
* `model_name` from the site's own display name (ModelScope's `Name`), so
the card stops showing the local filename — written only while the value
still equals the file stem, since once a user renames a model that
choice is theirs to keep
* `civitai.name` from the matched version's label (`showName`), which the
card renders as the version chip
* `civitai.description` / `modelDescription` from the author summary plus
the README as HTML
* `civitai.images` / `preview_url` from the per-file example images
* `civitai.trainedWords` from the per-file trigger words
* `base_model`, `tags` and `usage_tips` as before
Provenance stays honest: the pass records
`metadata_source = "source:<platform>"` rather than the skill's
`agent:enrich_hf_metadata`, and — because no provider ran — it no longer
stamps `llm_enriched_at`; that stamp is now conditional on the LLM
actually answering, which is what the field means. The five hand-rolled
`civitai` dict merges in the post-processor collapse into one
`_merge_civitai()` helper.
Two guards keep it safe. Only a model whose stored
`source_platform`/`source_url` match the repository being downloaded is
updated, so a local file that merely shares a name never receives another
model's card; and a file already on disk is topped up too, which
back-fills models downloaded before this existed. READMEs and detail
payloads describe the repository rather than the file, so a short-lived
process-wide `ModelSourceCache` (300 s, 32 entries) keeps a batch over one
repository to two HTTP requests. Every failure is logged and swallowed:
hydration can never fail a download.
Fix the hash policy while here. `_save_source_metadata()` went straight to
`MetadataManager.create_default_metadata()`, bypassing the per-type
factory on the owning scanner, so a checkpoint paid a full SHA256 inside
the download request — `CheckpointScanner`/`OtherScanner` deliberately
record `hash_status="pending"` with an empty `sha256` for their multi-GB
files. Metadata is now created through `scanner._create_default_metadata()`.
Hydration copes with the empty hash: `_matching_versions()` falls back to
the repository basename, which is exactly what the download just wrote.
Report both post-transfer stages, which advance no byte counter and so
read as a stall: the bar sat at 100% showing `0 B/s` for the seconds spent
hashing and fetching. `_report_phase()` broadcasts
`{"status": "metadata", "stage": "indexing" | "source", "platform": ...}`,
and `LoadingManager` names the stage in the status line (keeping the batch
position), retitles the item line, replaces the dead speed figure and runs
a sheen over the bar. `stage`/`platform` are machine-readable; the wording
is localised in the frontend.
Finally, `modelscope.ai` is its own catalogue rather than an alias of
`modelscope.cn` — `referall13/EM1` exists only on `.ai` and
`jj3550945163/Krea-2-LORA` only on `.cn` — so its URLs were rejected with
"Invalid model URL format". Register it as `ModelScopeIntlSource`
(`platform="modelscope-ai"`, `msai:` group prefix, its own default
download directory) and derive every URL either deployment builds from a
per-class `base_url`. `modelscope.com` stays an alias of `.cn`, which is
what it redirects to. The frontend source table, the link dialog hints and
the docs mirror the split.
Verified against the live APIs: both reported `.ai` repositories list
their files, read their READMEs and yield name / version / base model /
trigger words / example images. Backend 3092 passed; frontend 1259 JS +
91 Vue passed. The nine locales carry the new progress copy in the next
commit.
Adds a base model pill at the front of the recipe modal's tags row,
showing the full base model name (cards keep the abbreviation since
their overlay width is constrained). Falls back to a dimmed Unknown so
the header layout does not shift when hydration fills the value in.
Hydration now also merges base_model. Translated in all 9 locales.
The sidebar used the models-only folder list while the download and move
destination pickers list every directory, so a model downloaded into an
empty category folder did not appear in the sidebar at all. Empty folders
are also deliberate organization on disk, and a file-manager-shaped tree
that hides them is surprising. Default the preference to on.
Because the preference no longer gates fetching, both folder lists are
always loaded: the full list is the tree's single source of truth and the
empty-folder count, the models-only list is what "empty" is measured
against. That makes the view-options toggle a pure re-render, and lets the
new count decorate the "..." menu so the preference's effect is visible
without scanning the tree:
- empty-folder count shown next to the menu label, cleared when unknown
- the toggle is hidden entirely when there are no empty folders
- list view filters empty entries itself (the tree gets that for free
from the backend, the flat list is now always loaded in full)
- creating a folder still re-enables the preference, since the folder the
user just asked for would otherwise be invisible
Dim styling is decided by _isRenderedEmptyFolder() at render time; the
models-only set keeps its ancestor-expanded semantics for the delete
guard.
The folder context menu now reads: the content action (check for updates)
on top, then the folder operations as one group (new subfolder, rename),
then the destructive entry behind its own divider.
Gating the three folder entries per page could leave the menu with
dangling separators — the recipes sidebar hides all of them and keeps
only the update check, which already rendered one stray divider before
this change and would have rendered two after it. Add
_updateContextMenuSeparators: a divider survives only when a visible
entry sits on both sides, and a run of consecutive ones collapses to a
single line. The three per-item display toggles fold into one loop.
The template order is guarded by a regression test that parses
templates/components/context_menu.html, plus behaviour tests for the
divider collapsing.
Follows the folder create/delete work: a typo'd directory could be
removed but not corrected, and for a folder holding models the only fix
was to move every model out by hand.
Adds POST /api/lm/{prefix}/rename-folder. Unlike the delete path this one
deliberately works on folders that hold models — a rename keeps every
file, so nothing is cascaded over: the directory is renamed on disk and
the scanner re-keys the records that pointed at the old prefix (recorded
folder list, cache file_path/folder/preview_url, hash and autov3 index
paths, excluded-model paths, and the metadata sidecars that travelled
with the directory). Ancestors are never touched, and only the leaf name
is accepted so a rename can never escape its parent.
Library roots, top-level symlinks and folders holding a staged delete are
refused; the last because a staging manifest records absolute
original/staged paths, so moving it would break undo and purge. A name
collision is a 409 target_exists conflict.
The sidebar reuses the inline-row idiom from folder creation: prefilled
with the current name, inserted in place of the node with that node
hidden while editing, Enter confirms and Escape/blur cancels. The
persisted selection and the expanded set are re-keyed across the rename
so the user keeps their place in the refreshed tree.
Folders created from the sidebar had no in-app way back out: the only
removal path was to leave ComfyUI, delete the directory by hand and
rescan. A typo'd folder also polluted the move/download destination
picker permanently, since it reads the same all_folders source.
Adds POST /api/lm/{prefix}/delete-folder, restricted to directories
whose subtree holds no model weight files — a folder-level cascade would
bypass the per-model lifecycle bookkeeping (metadata sidecars, previews,
cache entries, pending-delete staging, recipe references). The service
walks the directory itself instead of trusting the possibly stale cache,
reports what it would remove (models / files / subfolders / symlinks),
and refuses library roots, top-level symlinks (shutil.rmtree rejects
those) and folders holding a staged delete, whose manifest would be
invalidated by the move. Symbolic links inside the subtree are counted
but never followed.
ModelScanner.remove_known_folder mirrors add_known_folder: the removed
subtree leaves all_folders while ancestors are kept (every recorded
ancestor exists on disk in its own right), stale cache entries under the
prefix are purged and the folder list recomputed. The handler broadcasts
models_changed so destination pickers drop the folder too.
The sidebar entry is a destructive context-menu item. The modal opens in
a confirm state for model-free folders and an explanatory one when the
subtree still holds models, decided from the models-only set that already
dims empty nodes; a stale tree is caught by the 409 not_empty/busy
conflict. Truly empty folders get the existing 20s undo affordance,
implemented by re-creating the directory.
Empty folders (tracked in the scan-recorded all_folders list, same source
the move/download destination picker uses) can now be surfaced in the
folder sidebar via a view-options toggle, dimmed when their subtree holds
no models. Folders can be created directly from the sidebar through a new
POST /api/lm/{prefix}/create-folder endpoint with library-root
containment checks; the scanner records the new directory incrementally
so the tree reflects it without a rescan.
The sidebar header moves its view toggles (tree/list, recursive, empty
folders) into a "..." menu to fit the new create-folder button.
A model file could only ever be linked to huggingface.co: `set_hf_url`
validated the URL with a huggingface-only regex, the agent fetched the card
from a hardcoded HF URL, and the readme processor built every relative image
path off `https://huggingface.co/{repo}/resolve/main`. ModelScope publishes the
same model-card convention (README.md + YAML frontmatter, often carrying
`base_model:` and `trigger_words:`) behind a public, key-less API, so the
enrichment pipeline could already serve it - it was the plumbing that was
HF-shaped, not the idea.
Make the external source a first-class, provider-driven concept:
- New `py/services/model_sources/` registry. A `ModelSource` owns URL
recognition (lenient for stored values, strict for user input), the
canonical page URL, model-card fetching, the asset base URL and the
capability flags. `HuggingFaceSource` is the previous logic relocated;
`ModelScopeSource` reads `/models/{o}/{n}/resolve/{master|main}/README.md`
and falls back to `/api/v1/models/{o}/{n}/repo`. `TensorArtSource` is
link-only on purpose: tensor.art answers plain HTTP clients with a
Cloudflare challenge and its internal API (ap-east-1.tensorart.cloud /
cn.tensorart.net) rejects every /v1/model/* route with "invalid
authorization header", so it declares supports_enrichment=False rather than
failing silently later.
- Metadata gains `source_platform` + `source_url`; `hf_url` stays as a
read/write alias, written only for Hugging Face, so existing sidecars,
cached rows and third-party consumers keep working. Normalisation runs at
the scanner, the persistent cache (both directions, plus two new columns
behind an ALTER migration) and the linking handler - which is what stops a
user who switches sources from leaving a stale `hf_url` on a ModelScope
model.
- The agent pipeline keys off the provider instead of `hf_url`: the fast-fail
gate now explains *why* a model is skipped (no source / unknown source /
source without a reachable card), the prompt context exposes
source_url/source_id/source_label/asset_base_url while still filling the
legacy hf_url/repo aliases, and the four README image extractors take a
base_url (defaulting to HF) so relative paths resolve against the right
site. Version grouping generalises to hf: / ms: / ta: keys.
- `POST /api/lm/set-hf-url` keeps its path and its legacy payload keys but
accepts `source_url`, validates against every provider and returns the
platform. `GET /api/lm/model-sources` lets the UI render the supported-site
list from the server.
- Frontend: a `modelSourceHelpers` mirror of the registry drives the link
dialog, the card/modal globe (branded "View on ModelScope/TensorArt"), the
version-group key and the enrichment gate; the versions tab no longer sends
ms:/ta: keys to the CivitAI API.
TensorArt stays in the list because provenance is worth keeping even when the
card is unreadable - the dialog says so plainly ("Sites that don't expose one
(currently TensorArt) can only be linked") and the context menu disables
enrichment with a matching tooltip, instead of the user getting
"Unsupported URL".
Verified against the real ModelScope API: jj3550945163/Krea-2-LORA returns a
1882-byte card whose frontmatter carries base_model/tags/trigger_words, and
relative images resolve to .../resolve/master/....
Tests: backend 2815 passed; frontend 1130 JS + 91 Vue passed; pytest
tests/i18n and a Jinja compile pass over templates/. The nine locales carry
[TODO: Translate] for the new strings, completed in the next commit.
DEFAULT_ENABLED_OTHER_SUB_TYPES managed vae, upscaler, text_encoder and
clip_vision while controlnet was the sole opt-in type. That split was not
defensible on demand breadth: ControlNet is the broader category by install
base, and clip_vision is the narrower one (IPAdapter/SVD image conditioning,
usually one to three files) whose CivitAI type is retired upstream.
Keep the default set to the dependency-style assets every pipeline needs and
where "which one am I actually using" is the real problem - VAE, upscalers
and text encoders - and treat clip_vision and controlnet symmetrically as
opt-in. The feature is still unreleased, so the change needs no migration.
- Sync all five surfaces holding a default: DEFAULT_ENABLED_OTHER_SUB_TYPES,
DEFAULT_SETTINGS, both DEFAULT_SETTINGS_BASE/createDefaultSettings lists,
updateOtherModelsControls()'s fallback and the Jinja fallback.
- The selection is persisted per user, so only the untouched default moves;
existing default_other_roots entries for a disabled sub_type are preserved.
- Fix the Jinja fallback using `or`, which treated an all-unchecked empty
allow-list as "unset" and re-checked every box on render; `is none` keeps
the empty list empty.
- Document the revised defaults and rationale in the plan.
Tests assert the new default trio, the normalize fallback, that both opt-in
types stay out of the default scan, and the auto-set iteration test now
enables clip_vision explicitly since it exercises the loop, not the default.
Undo the Doctor relocation from fe160134 while keeping that commit's
unrelated header changes (full-width header, 32px click targets,
role/tabindex plus Enter/Space activation).
- Restore the .doctor-control-group button in controls.html
- Drop the .doctor-toggle icon and the hamburger menu entry from the header
- Remove the Header.js 'doctor' dropdown action forwarding to the button
- Drop the header-scoped doctor-toggle styles
- Restore the .doctor-trigger styles (desktop and mobile) in doctor-modal.css
- The Other nav entry is hidden while the feature is off
(nav-item--hidden, toggled client-side after enabling) and now uses the
fa-shapes icon.
- Shared utils/otherModels.js helpers (enable through the settings API,
open the settings Library section) are reused by the disabled page, the
announcement banner and the download modal.
- BannerService registers a one-time dismissible "other-models-announcement"
banner while the feature is off; SettingsManager drops the banner and
updates the nav when the master switch flips.
- A disabled download routing answer now surfaces a showActionToast with an
"Enable Other Models" action.
- Settings UI: master toggle + five sub_type checkboxes whose default-root
selects are disabled when unchecked; i18n keys added to en.json and synced
(other locales keep TODO placeholders).
- Drop the fixed max-width on .header-container so the header spans the
viewport while the card grid keeps its own content width
- Keep header icon click targets at 32px at all breakpoints and add
role/tabindex/aria-label plus Enter/Space activation
- Relocate the Doctor trigger from the page toolbar to the header icon
group (also available on the statistics page and in the hamburger
menu), removing the now-unused .doctor-trigger styles
Replace the post-run toast cascade and the standalone L4 results modal
with a summary modal modeled on the batch download summary: 3-state
header, stat cards (matched / needs review / unresolved / errors),
an L4 review table with per-entry undo, and a copyable report. Wired
into the global, bulk and single-recipe rematch entries; complete
no-op runs keep the lightweight toast. Obsolete results-modal code,
styles and i18n keys are removed.
- Snapshot pre-rematch entry state (reconnectSnapshot) so rematched
entries can be undone via the existing restore flow
- Bulk missing-LoRA downloads mark unresolvable failures hash-invalid,
flipping those entries from download to reconnect candidacy
- Recipe modal always offers a reconnect action next to download for
missing LoRA entries
- Rematch runs collect an opt-in relaxed-matching choice (also reconnect
missing models by file name) via a pre-run options dialog on the
global, bulk and single-recipe entries
- L4 (filename-level) matches are listed in a results dialog with
per-entry undo
The recipe "Repair Metadata" action has been marked Deprecated in the UI
for a while and cannot reliably recover recipes imported from CivitAI URLs
whose REST meta has no resources/hashes and whose image has no embedded
metadata (e.g. CivitAI-only generation data). Drop the feature end to end.
Backend:
- remove repair routes (repair, cancel-repair, recipe/{id}/repair,
repair-bulk, repair-progress) and their handler mappings/methods
- remove RecipeScanner repair_all_recipes / repair_recipe_by_id /
_repair_single_recipe and REPAIR_VERSION
- remove WebSocketManager recipe-repair progress channel
- drop repair_version column from the persistent recipe cache
- rematch mutual-exclusion now only checks rematch
Frontend:
- remove repair entries from per-recipe, bulk and global context menus
- remove repairRecipe / repairSelectedRecipes / repairRecipes + cancelRepair
and the repairBulk API client method/endpoint
- drop recipe-repair i18n keys (synced across locales; doctor keys kept)
Tests/docs: delete test_recipe_repair.py, update scaffolding/routes/ws/
persistent-cache/integration tests and i18n guideline examples.
Adds a 'Keep Action Bar Visible' toggle (default off) under
Settings > Interface > Layout Settings. When enabled, the controls bar
(Refresh, Download, etc.) and the breadcrumb nav are wrapped in a shared
sticky container (.sticky-topbar) so both stay pinned as one unit; when
disabled, the wrapper is display: contents and the original behavior
(only the breadcrumb stays visible) is preserved.
- Replace timestamp comparison (help_last_viewed vs a hardcoded date) with
a content-version marker (data-help-content-version) read from the
rendered modal markup, so badge state always reflects the content
actually served
- Only mark content as viewed when the modal is opened while it contains
new content; opening a stale pre-upgrade page no longer suppresses the
badge after a refresh
- Flag the Replay Tutorial button itself with a 'New' chip (hidden by
default, one-time glow animation) and scroll it into view when
revealed; tab-level dots now mark getting-started and shortcuts
instead of documentation
- Translate help.newContentBadge into all 9 locales, reusing the
established help.documentation.newBadge renderings
- Add HelpManager content-version unit tests (12 cases)
- Bind R=refresh, F=fetch metadata, D=download in PageControls via
eventManager (plain letters only, skipped while typing or when a
modal is open); triggers reuse the buttons' existing click handlers
- Show key-hint chips on the refresh/fetch/download/bulk toolbar
buttons; convert the bulk chip to a semantic <kbd>
- Redesign shortcut hints as a neutral theme-adaptive keycap:
--shortcut-* variables in base.css now derive from --text-muted
with a bottom-edge shadow, shared by the toolbar chips, the header
search cue, the help-modal cheat sheet, and onboarding key hints
- Add shared isTypingContext() helper to uiHelpers
- Add an Actions group (R/F/D) to the Shortcuts cheat-sheet tab
Verified with vitest (926 passing, incl. 6 new shortcut cases) and a
sandboxed E2E run in real Chrome (light/dark rendering, hover state,
'?' opening the Shortcuts tab, clean console)
- Expand onboarding tour from 8 to 11 steps: marquee drag-select,
drag card to sidebar folder, and the three context menus
(card / bulk / global); enrich bulk-mode step with range-select
and exit tips
- Add Replay Tutorial button to help modal Getting Started tab
- Add Shortcuts cheat-sheet tab to help modal, opened directly via
the '?' key when not typing
- Fix trigger-word tooltip to mention double-click to edit
- Keep checkpoint/embedding send tooltips truthful (no replace mode)
Sync new i18n keys to all locales (placeholders pending translation)
Add a de-emphasized meta footer to the recipe modal, mirroring the model
modal's hash footnote: a clickable file location on the left (opens the
recipe JSON via the generic open-file-location route, with the Docker
clipboard fallback) and a middle-truncated recipe ID with copy button on
the right.
The recipe detail API now exposes recipe_json_path so the frontend does
not have to guess the on-disk storage layout. Translations for the new
recipes.modal.* keys are filled in for all 9 locales, reusing the model
modal's openFileLocation wording per locale.
- Add an icon-only copy button next to Send to ComfyUI in the header
actions row, styled as a textless variant of the neighboring pill
buttons
- Restore fetchAndCopyRecipeSyntax() wiring against the existing
/api/lm/recipe/{id}/syntax endpoint (context menu action unaffected)
- Add recipes.actions.copyRecipeSyntax i18n key, reusing the existing
per-locale translations of the identical context menu string
- Sync modal test fixtures and add copySyntax tests
- Extract a shared BaseModelPicker (search, keyboard navigation,
filename-based suggestions, dynamic API models such as MiniMax H3
under 'Other (API)') used by both the single-model metadata modal
and the bulk base model modal
- Rework the bulk base model modal into a dedicated inline-list
layout: fixed modal size, sticky-free footer with app-standard
modal-actions/primary-btn/cancel-btn buttons, and an inline option
list that scrolls itself instead of an overlay dropdown covering
the footer
- Selecting an option in change mode now filters the list to the
selection instead of resetting and scroll-jumping to it
- Restore opaque sticky section headers in the bulk modal so scrolled
items no longer bleed through
- Three-column layout (preview | generation parameters | resources) with
independent per-pane scrolling and a content-sized modal shell that
shrinks to fit short recipes and caps at viewport height for long ones
- Blurred, darker backdrop to focus attention on the modal
- Preview frame hugs the image instead of a fixed-size box
- Move recipe-level 'Send to ComfyUI' into the header actions row to match
the model detail modal convention; remove the modal 'Copy Recipe Syntax'
button (context menu action is unaffected)
- Add recipes.actions.sendRecipe i18n keys with translations
- Sync modal test fixtures to the new structure
CivitAI's PaidAccess cutover deprecated the availability=EarlyAccess and
earlyAccessEndsAt signals; gated versions now report availability=Public
with a paidAccess DTO that LoRA Manager previously ignored, so "Hide
Early Access Updates" missed paid/early-access models and downloads
failed with 401.
Parse and persist paidAccess from model-level, bulk, and by-hash
responses; treat timed paid gates as early access and permanent paid
versions as a distinct is_paid state; add a hide_paid_updates setting
with a "Paid" badge in the versions tab; warn before downloading gated
versions. Includes SQLite migration, i18n for all locales, and
backend/frontend tests.
Track recipe modal opens in a separate stats file (never touching recipe
JSON/EXIF), expose a fire-and-forget POST endpoint, and add an 'opened'
sort that hides never-opened recipes as a true recently-opened view.
Includes i18n for all locales and backend/frontend tests.
- Remove delete_undo_enabled setting (backend default, frontend state,
settings modal UI, 10 locales); staged deletes with 30s undo are now
the only delete path and stale settings keys are silently ignored
- Remove the 1500ms delete-button arm delay (armDeleteButton) from all
delete modals; misclicks are recoverable via the undo toast
- Delete modal always shows the recoverable warning
- Log the first staged file path in staging log lines for easier support
The download modal's step shared the 'locationStep' id with the import
modal, so getElementById('locationStep') could resolve to the wrong
element depending on template include order. The import flow relied on
an injected display:block !important rule to work around it.
Rename the download modal's step id and update all references so each
modal owns a unique step id.
Move the 'Download Missing' / 'Re-process All' example image actions
under a single 'Download Example Images' submenu item in the single-model
and bulk context menus, matching the existing send-to-workflow submenu
pattern. Shorten the submenu labels and update all locale translations.
Split the single-model and bulk context menu actions into 'Download
Missing Example Images' (regular endpoint, skips already-processed
models) and 'Re-process Example Images' (force endpoint, retries
failed models).
- start_download accepts model_hashes so a selected subset can be
processed with the progress-aware skip logic; explicitly targeted
models bypass the failed/processed model-level guards so per-image
gaps are filled
- pre-download existence check in the processor skips network requests
for image files already on disk across all download paths
- force download retries previously failed models and clears their
failed status on success
- add i18n keys for the new menu items across all locales
- Add POST /api/lm/switch-channel endpoint with git init / ZIP fallback
- Add _backup_git/_restore_git helpers with safe rollback
- Version-info endpoint now returns has_git flag for auto-detection
- Check-updates always returns releases (changelog) regardless of channel
- Nightly mode shows 'N commits behind main' with commit hash and date
- View on GitHub link points to /commits/main in nightly mode
- Channel toggle UI with pill-style buttons in update modal
- Confirmation dialog with Esc / backdrop-dismiss support
- Channel derived from has_git on every page load, no localStorage
- i18n: 11 new keys translated across 9 non-English locales
- CSS: unified card-style sections in _base.css
- Tests: 8 new tests covering switch-channel, nightly response, init_git_repo
