Ginatra

This project is to make a clone of gitweb in Ruby and Sinatra. It serves git repositories out of a set of specified directories using an array of glob-based paths. I have plans to make it function just as gitweb does, including leeching config files and suchlike.

Updating to the Most Recent Release (Gem):

$ gem install ginatra
(re)Move ~/.ginatra
Run the following to open an irb with Ginatra loaded: $ irb -r 'rubygems' -r 'rubygems'
In this irb session, run the following then close it: >> Ginatra::Config.setup!

BEWARE: The last method that you just called will dump a config to ~/.ginatra/config.yml. This ignores anything already there, so be careful. You have been warned.

You can now copy the contents your old ~/.ginatra/ file into ~/.ginatra/config.yml.

Installation

You should be using Git 1.6.3 or later just to be sure that it all works:

$ git --version
git version 1.6.3

Next, just do the following (your setup may require sudo):

$ gem install ginatra

This pulls down all the required dependencies too.

If you want to play around with the code, you can clone the repository. This also allows you to use a special rackup file to mount it where you wish. I am yet to sort out some of the details of running Ginatra from a gem with a rackup.ru file.

Usage

If you're just using it in development, use the following to start, check and stop Ginatra respectively:

$ ginatra server start
$ ginatra server status
$ ginatra server stop

Ginatra also runs on thin, with the approach outlined above.

BEWARE: There are issues running Ginatra on Passenger. We discourage Ginatra's use on Passenger until we can make it stable.

Ginatra can also start a git-daemon serving all the repositories that ginatra serves:

$ ginatra daemon start
$ ginatra daemon status
$ ginatra daemon stop

This runs on the default git daemon port.

You can add a glob specified list of git repositories for ginatra to serve using the following commands:

$ ginatra directory add '~/Git/ginatra/*'
$ ginatra directory list
$ ginatra directory remove '~/Git/ginatra/*'

These should be fairly self explanatory. Help is shown with either the --help option or by not specifying a sub-command like start, status, stop, add, list or remove.
