Grack.cr

This is a idea of porting the grack gem in ruby to crystal to have a git backend server in crystal

What it is doing:

• all git stuff:
  • pull
  • push
  • fetch
  • and more

Auth should be possible by adding a basic http auth handler before the git handler in http.cr.

Config

the configs that exist in this project are using ENV. So you can simple set them.

The configs are:

• git_bin - the path to the git binary, defaults to git
• project_root - path to the projects (where all git repos will be), defaults to pwd (current directory)

How to

It can be used as a standalone server right away, by setting up the http.cr file with desirable port and address.

if you want to add this to your own code/application, add the handler to the http server handlers. I haven't tried if this work with let say Lucky, but my intention is to either make this work, or make another project that depends on this to make a shard that works in Lucky.

Setup

1. compile http.cr with crystal http.cr or crystal build http.cr and then ./http
2. create a bare git directory with the .git in the end of the directory name. Like git init --bare test.git
3. then publish a branch and push to it to the local origin. the url to the repo should be as example http://localhost:8080/test.git
4. should work.

You can move the classes in src (or require them) and use them in your own http server and change them if needed.
