How to get your repo indexed by GitDEX, your token linked to it, and your GitScore tracked.
Get your repo indexed
If your repo is hosted on the gitlawb network, it's already automatically discoverable. The GitDEX indexer pulls the full /api/v1/repos list daily from node.gitlawb.com and scores everything it finds.
To get started on gitlawb itself:
# Install the gitlawb CLI
curl -fsSL https://gitlawb.com/install.sh | sh
# Generate your identity (DID)
gl identity new
gl register
# Create + push your repo
gl repo create my-project --description "..."
git remote add gitlawb gitlawb://$YOUR_DID/my-project
git push gitlawb main
Within ~24 hours your repo will appear on gitdex.app/repos with an initial GitScore.
What grows your GitScore
Six signals, each weighted:
- 30% Activity — commits in the last 90 days. Push regularly.
- 20% Freshness — days since last push. Recency matters.
- 15% Longevity — repo age. Time helps, saturates at ~2 years.
- 15% Contributors — distinct commit authors. Welcome PRs.
- 10% Popularity — stars. Saturates at 100 (no farming).
- 10% Originality — 1.0 if original, 0.3 if fork.
See methodology for the formulas.
Link your token to your repo
If you've launched a token for your app on Clanker, bankr, or Flaunch, the Tokenization Radar can auto-link it back — but only via URL signals in the token's launchpad page (socials, description, website field):
- Include
{yourRepoName}.gitlawb.appif you have a Playground app - Or include
gitdex.app/repo/{yourRepoId} - Or include
node.gitlawb.com/{yourDid}/{yourRepoName}(canonical clone URL)
Any of these in the token's launchpad metadata will trigger auto-discovery within 15 minutes.
No matching by token name — this is deliberate, to prevent impersonators from hijacking your repo's Trust signal. See Tokenization Radar → Anti-impersonation.
Embed the badge
Show your live GitScore in your repo README:
[](https://gitdex.app)
See Embed badge for the URL pattern and color tiers.
Track score over time
The web app stores daily snapshots via ScoreSnapshot. Your repo's GitScore trend appears as a sparkline on its detail page at https://gitdex.app/repo/{yourRepoId}. The 7-day Rising leaderboard surfaces repos whose score climbed the most in the last week.
