A space is one private GitHub repository. The tasks inside it are issues, its areas are labels, its projects are milestones. There is no other layer. You can open a space on github.com and read every byte of it.

Most people start with one space — commit-tasks — and add more when a part of life deserves its own drawer.

Spaces are shareable one at a time

Share a cookbook with your family and keep work private. Each space is its own repository, so its collaborators are its own too.

What a space is made of

Every concept in commit.moi maps onto something GitHub already had. Nothing is translated, stored twice, or invented.

Space	private repository
Task	issue
Area	label
Project	milestone
Logbook	closed issues

Create a space

1. Open the Spaces switcher

   In the sidebar, or press ⌘ K and type “new space”.

2. Name it

   The name becomes the repository name, prefixed for you. A cookbook becomes commit-cookbook.

3. Pick a type

   The type decides the screens you get and how records are stored — as issues, or as Markdown files with front matter.

A data space keeps one Markdown file per record — readable, greppable, diffable:

recipes/pan-con-tomate.md

---
title: Pan con tomate
servings: 2
time: 10m
tags: [breakfast, summer]
---

Rub the tomato into the bread. Salt. Oil. Done.

Types of space

Ten types ship today. Four of the most-used:

Tasks

Inbox, Today, Upcoming, Anytime, Someday, Logbook. The default space.

Cookbook

Recipes with time, servings, difficulty and a shopping list.

Journal

One dated entry a day — mood, tags, photos, Markdown body.

Notes

A Zettelkasten with [[wikilinks]] and backlinks between notes.

Share a space

Sharing a space is a GitHub collaborator invite — the same one you would send for any repository. Revoke it there and it is revoked here.
