# Git HTTP Backend

This is a Go based implementation of Grack (a Rack application), which aimed 

to replace the builtin git-http-backed CGI handler distributed with C Git. 

Grack was written to allow far more webservers to handle Git smart http 

requests. The aim of this project is to improve Git smart http performance by 

utilising the power of Go.

go get github.com/asim/git-http-backend

```

git-http-backend --project_root=/tmp --git_bin_path=/usr/bin/git

```

        "github.com/asim/git-http-backend/server"

)

func main() {

	http.HandleFunc("/", server.Handler())

	if err := http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil); err != nil {

		log.Fatal("ListenAndServe: ", err)

	}

}
