Git Meh update: Symfony

Jul 17, 2026 • 1 min read

Today I rebuilt the Git Meh API using the Symfony PHP library. Symfony felt simpler and better suited to the API than the original Laravel implementation. I also wanted an excuse to dive into Symfony, since it’s something I’ve often learnt about before, but never actually used in production.

I also made a small update to the core software, adding support for testing API endpoints that use self-signed HTTPS certificates.

Just a small update that has zero effect on Git Meh users, but I’m proud of.
