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 Multiple directory repositories:

• Remove any bare cloned repositories from ./repos/
• Execute the following: rake setup:repo which creates a non-bare test repo in ./repos/

Simple eh?

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

You'll need a few gems just to serve git repositories, for page caching, syntax highlighting & a sinatra daemon runner:

$ (sudo) gem install grit kematzy-sinatra-cache coderay vegas

To run the test suite, you also need:

$ (sudo) gem install rspec webrat rack-test cucumber

To do both these steps more quickly, run the following rake tasks:

$ rake setup:gems
$ rake setup:test

Then clone this repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/lenary/ginatra.git

You'll also need to (--bare) clone atmos/hancock-client into the repos directory and call it test: (don't ask, it was just a repo i chose at random)

$ cd repos && git clone --bare git://github.com/atmos/hancock-client.git test.git

This can be done much quicker by doing the following rake task

$ rake setup:repo

Usage

If you're just using it in development, use the following to run Ginatra:

$ ruby ginatra.rb

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

I have made a rake task so that you can easily add repositories to Ginatra. Use the following to add repositories to Ginatra, without fear of getting it wrong:

$ rake add repo='git://github.com/lenary/ginatra.git'
$ rake add repo='git://github.com/mojombo/grit.git' name='fun'
