When Git Winch starts running, it also starts as tiny localhost webserver at port 9919. You may wonder what is that used for?
Firstly, understand what a localhost server is: It is a web-server that works only on your own computer.
The inbuilt localhost webserver does NOT have any capability to pick up any data from your computer so there is no question of any misuse of your data or privacy.
We've programmed this localhost webserver to act as a bridge between the coordination server used by Git Winch and your computer. As you keep using Git Winch this localhost server is pinged from the web-app for various activities such as starting a build process on your machine depending on various Git Push conducted by someone in your team.
