git-tools is a collection of scripts and tools to make developing with git and hosting a git repo easier.
The mkgit command is provided to create a git repository on the machine you intend to use to host the repo. It assumes you have a user named git and will try to sudo as git if it isn't run as git.
It takes a single argument: the name of the project.
git@code-$ mkgit project-one
Creating repo project-one.git
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/project-one.git/
Next steps:
mkdir project-one
cd project-one
git init
touch README
git add README
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin git@code:project-one.git
git push origin master
Existing Git Repo?
cd existing_git_repo
git remote add origin git@code:project-one.git
git push origin master
When you're done, it prints instructions on how to set up the repo on your client (dev) machine. Kudos to github for thinking of this.
The post-receive script will send a JSON payload to all the uris listed in the repo's hooks.uris configuration option. Most likely you'll want to set it on a system level. Example:
git@code-$ git config -l
uris.project=http://code.example.com/projects/show/%name%
uris.commit=http://code.example.com/repositories/revision/%name%?rev=%id%
hooks.uris=http://localhost:8001/
The above will post to http://localhost:8001/ with the JSON payload. The other two configuration options are for uris that go into the payload, such as the uri for the commit and the uri for the project. The above examples are for Redmine.
