Description

This is a currently a place holder for a Git integration contrib for SME server that is under development. It integrates git with git-http-backend and gitweb into SME.

The current feature list includes:

• Create & manage centralised git repositories through the SME server-manager panel.
• Access rights based on SME server users and groups.
• Per repository settings for pull and push access control (including support for setting anonymous access).
• Per repository network access setting for either local only or internet.
• All repositories accessed over HTTPS for easy remote access through firewalls.
• Separate name space for Git repositories using git subdomain (i.e. independent of ibays and other resources on the server)
• Email notification of push operations to all users that have either pull or push access to the repository
• Web viewing of repositories through gitweb
• Gravatars support in gitweb
• Automatic markdown of README.md into README.html and shown in gitweb

Installation

There is currently no RPM available for this package but a very alpha (but functional) version is available from my Git repository here:

 https://git.through-ip.com/smeserver-git.git

and can be anonymously cloned:

 git clone https://git.through-ip.com/smeserver-git.git

You may need to change your git config to ignore the warning about the self signed SSL certificate with:

 git config --global http.sslVerify false

The repository contains an install script that can be used to install the required files but your mileage may vary.

Feedback

I welcome any feedback on this contrib for bugs, features or assistance (e.g. turning it into an RPM). Email me at the address found at the top of this page.
