btgitserver 1.0.5

Python-based Git Server

Overview

A git server implementation written in python.

Based off the amazing work by Stewart Park in this gist: https://gist.github.com/stewartpark/1b079dc0481c6213def9.

The app makes any git repository lying below the search_paths available for git clone via HTTP using basic authentication.

Application defaults can be overridden by specifying a configuration file.

Review etc/config.yaml for a sample data structure.

Installation

• Install from pypi.org: pip install btgitserver
• Install directly from git repo: pip install git+http://www.github.com/berttejeda/bert.gt-server.git

Usage

To get usage information and help: git-server -h

Clone paths

There are two routes accepted by the script:

• '/example/'
• '/'

All resolve to the same underlying repository path.

This effectively allows you to mock organizational structures.

TODO: Define additional routes dynamically as opposed to hard-coding.

Usage Examples

Quick test:

• Create a test repo:

mkdir -p /tmp/repos/test
cd /tmp/repos/test
git init .
touch test_file.txt
git add .
git commit -m 'Initial Commit'
git-server -r /tmp/repos

Note: The --repo-search-paths/-r cli option allows specifying multiple, space-delimitted search paths, e.g. git-server -r /tmp/repos /tmp/repos2

• Launch the standalone git server

git-server

You should see output similar to:

Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/	

• On client-side:

Try cloning the repo you just created via the supported routes:

e.g.

git clone http://127.0.0.1:5000/test.git
git clone http://127.0.0.1:5000/example/test.git
