git-http-server

===============

serve a directory of git repositories over http

this tool is basically a thin command line wrapper around

https://github.com/substack/git-http-backend

Example

-------

Start the server with one repository

    $ cd repos/

    $ git init --bare foo.git

    Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/dave/dev/node-git-http-server/repos/foo.git/

    $ git-http-server

    listening on http://0.0.0.0:8174 in /Users/dave/dev/node-git-http-server/repos

Now, clone the empty repository

    $ 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.

    $ cd foo

Add some files and push them back

    $ touch bar

    $ git add bar

    $ git commit -m 'initial commit' bar

    [master (root-commit) 9a37778] initial commit

    1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

    create mode 100644 bar

    $ git push origin master

    Counting objects: 3, done.

    Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 204 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.

    Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)

    To http://127.0.0.1:8174/foo.git

    * [new branch]      master -> master

Meanwhile, the logs look like

    127.0.0.1 - - [28/Mar/2015:22:45:51 -0400] "GET /foo.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "git/1.9.5 (Apple Git-50.3)"

    127.0.0.1 - - [28/Mar/2015:22:46:44 -0400] "GET /foo.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "git/1.9.5 (Apple Git-50.3)"

    127.0.0.1 - - [28/Mar/2015:22:46:44 -0400] "POST /foo.git/git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 - "-" "git/1.9.5 (Apple Git-50.3)"
