Bananajour - Local git publication and collaboration

Local git repository hosting with a sexy web interface and Bonjour discovery. It's like a bunch of adhoc, local, network-aware githubs!

Unlike Gitjour, the repositories you're serving are not your working git repositories. You can publish projects from any directory and each will be shown in the same hot web interface.

Bananajour is the baby of Tim Lucas with much railscamp hackage by Nathan de Vries and Lachlan Hardy; and smaller railscamp additions by Myles Byrne, Ben Hoskings, Brett Goulder, Tony Issakov, Josh Bassett and Mark Bennett. The rad logo was by Carla Hackett.

Installation and usage

You'll need at least git version 1.6. Run git --version if you're unsure.

Install it:

gem install bananajour

Start it up:

bananajour

Initialize a new Bananajour repository:

cd ~/code/myproj
bananajour init

Publish your codez:

git push banana master

Fire up http://localhost:9331/ to check it out.

If somebody starts sharing a Bananajour repository with the same name on the network, it'll automatically show up in the network thanks to the wonder that is Bonjour.

Official repository and support

http://github.com/toolmantim/bananajour is where Bananajour lives along with all of its support issues.

Developing

If you want to hack on the sinatra app then do so from a local clone but run your actual bananjour from the gem version. Running the sinatra app directly won't broadcast it onto the network and it'll run on a different port:

ruby sinatra/app.rb -s thin

If you want code reloading use shotgun instead:

shotgun sinatra/app.rb -s thin

If you then want to run your working copy as your public bananajour rebuild and install it as a gem:

sudo rake gem:install

Warning to all those who still believe secrecy will save their revenue stream

Bananas were meant to be shared. There are no secret bananas.
