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

You need to install the git rpms on your server with:

yum --enablerepo=dag install git gitweb

For the smeserver-git contrib is currently no RPM available for this package but a very alpha (but functional) version is available from my Git repository and can be anonymously cloned:

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

You may need to change your git configuration 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.
