Fork of git-http-server. Serve a directory of Git repositories over HTTP
npm install git-http-server2Serve a directory tree of Git repositories over HTTP.
This tool is a thin wrapper around
git-http-backend.
Install it with
``
npm install --save git-http-server2
Then, in your program, for example:
`javascript
var gitServer = require('git-http-server2');
var server = gitServer.run({
ip: '129.77.66.122',
port: 5167,
dir: '/Users/bob/repos',
});
... do a bunch of stuff ...
server.close();
`
To set it up to use from the command line:
`
npm install -g git-http-server2
For usage information:
`
git-http-server2 --help
Options can be controlled via the command-line (highest precedence) or
environment variables. These are also describe in the usage message:
`
usage: git-http-server2 [-r] [-p port] [-H host] [dir]
options
-h, --help print this message and exit
-i, --ip [env GIT_HTTP_IP] IP address of the allowed client
-H, --host
-p, --port
-r, --readonly [env GIT_HTTP_READONLY] operate in read-only mode
-a, --allowcreation [env GIT_HTTP_ALLOWCREATION] allows pushing unknown repositories
-u, --updates check for available updates and exit
-v, --version print the version number and exit
`
Start the server with one repository:
`
$ mkdir served && cd served
$ git init --bare foo.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/.../repos/foo.git/
$ git-http-server2
listening on http://0.0.0.0:8174 in /Users/.../repos
Now, from another terminal, clone the empty repository:
`
$ mkdir clones && cd clones
$ git clone http://127.0.0.1:8174/foo.git
Cloning into 'foo'...
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
Checking connectivity... done.
Add do some git stuff in the clone:
`
$ cd foo
$ touch bar
$ git add bar
$ git commit -m 'initial commit' bar
[master (root-commit) 9a37778] initial commit ...
$ git push origin master
Counting objects: 3, done
...
* [new branch] master -> master
Meanwhile, back in the server terminal, the logs look like:
`
127.0.0.1 - - [28/Mar/2015:22:45:51 -0400] "GET /foo.git/..."
127.0.0.1 - - [28/Mar/2015:22:46:44 -0400] "GET /foo.git/..."
127.0.0.1 - - [28/Mar/2015:22:46:44 -0400] "POST /foo.git/..."
Clone the repo, then:
`
npm install
npm test
The main changes in this fork are:
* The addition of a switch to restrict the clients by IP address
* Added a programmatic interface - see test/test.js for an example.
* Addition of tests
