# Git Daemon Dummy: 301 Redirects for `git://`

With the wide deployment of HTTPS, the plaintext nature of `git://`

is becoming less and less desirable. In order to inform users of

the `git://`-based URIs to switch to `https://`-based URIs, while

still being able to shut down aging `git-daemon` infrastructure,

this `git-daemon-dummy` is an extremely lightweight daemon that

simply provides an informative error message to connecting `git://`

users, providing the new URI.

It drops all privileges, `chroot`s, sets `rlimit`s, and uses `seccomp-bpf` to limit the

amount of available syscalls. To remain high performance, it makes

use of `epoll`.

### Example

    zx2c4@thinkpad ~ $ git clone git://git.zx2c4.com/cgit

    Cloning into 'cgit'...

    fatal: remote error:
