git-cgi-server

Simple Git Smart HTTP Server (using git-http-backend) written in Go.

What is Git Smart HTTP?

See: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Smart-HTTP

Features

• Simple and lightweight
• Support HTTP authentication (Basic and Digest)
• Support TLS

Motivation

• I don't want to open SSH only for Git access.
• I don't want to use rich HTTP servers (such as Apache, nginx, etc.) only for Git.
• I don't want to change owner of repositories to the httpd user (such as httpd, www-data, etc.)
• I want to launch easily without any complex installation and configuration.

Requirement

• Git (including git-http-backend)

Install

go get github.com/pasela/git-cgi-server
