Wrapper git server In Express

[cgilly2fast]

This integration will wrap our node-git-server in an express server with CORS integration.

Located: gitServer/index.js

The server is intended to be run locally on a computer for users to push too.

See this comment in an issue in node-git server as a starting point. It lays out the basic structure of a node-git-server being used with express.

Outcome

• 1. Developers must be able to push/pull to from a git remote from the command line.
• 2 .The remote will have the following format: [serverURL]/projects/[Project_Owner]/[Project_Name].git
• 3. Must maintain the ability to output data to the user's command line on “push” and “fetch” (line 39 and 49 in gitServer/index.js on express-ts-git-server branch)
• 4. Query and read in username and password from command line like GitHub does when authenticating push access to a repo

**Work on branch: express-ts-git-server

i tried the solution in the comment and i searched a lot about running two apps on the same port but i didn't find any solution

seconed and forth requirements done , it remains the third one

access denied to make push

I am going to move "Remove redundancy with 2 running servers into one." to a different issue.

Right now there is a server located in endpoints/index.ts and another server in gitServer/index.js

Ultimately we want these to be one file. endpoints/index.ts needs to be completely redone because it is based off of Firestore and EOS. So lets update these files separately then integrate them together.

If we collapse them now we will run into a lot of extra bugs.

Regarding push access, sense this project intended to be an open-source project, to make a contribution, fork the project, make all edits/commits on the fork, Then when it's done, create a pull request to merge your changes with the master project.

The fork, will allow you to work fast and allow me to view the code before it gets added to the main project.

Here is a video that goes over the process, you can skip the middle part where his explaining the git commands.

Here is link to some an issue thread that may be helpful.

i will try this : https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-git
tell me your opinion ?

[cgilly2fast]

I will look into it.

Please add CORS, you can see an example if needed in endpoints/index.ts

I just added reading the user name and password from the command line to the outcomes.

If we can achieve outcome 3 then we can probably just use nodejs readline() for completing outcome 4 .

Open to whatever makes sense.
