GIT BARE NODE REST API

The aim of the project is to provide a readonly restful Git API over a set of bare repositories.

# returns all repositories hosted
GET /
  [ "foo.git", "bar.git" ]

# returns all repositories matching regexp
GET /repo/^foo
  [ "foo.git" ]

# the real deal comes now:
# executes git grep over matching repositories/path/refspec and return results
GET /repo/^foo/grep/HEAD?q=SOMETHING&path=*.md
  [ {
    "branch": "HEAD",
    "file": "README.cs",
    "line_no": "128",
    "line": "Now this is really SOMETHING",
    "repo": "foo.git"
  } ... ]

Frontend

You can use this service from the git-react-client React UI.

Install

You can run it manually using npm start, or use forever/pm2 to keep it running.

Set the REPOSITORIES_DIR env variable to the folder containing your bare repositories.

Credits

Project was initially forked from git-rest-api but has cut most of the ties now.
