Git IPLD remote helper

Push and fetch commits using IPFS!

This helper is experimental as of now

Usage

Clone an example repository:
$ git clone ipld://2347e110c29742a1783134ef45f5bff58b29e40e

Pull a commit:
$ git pull ipld://2347e110c29742a1783134ef45f5bff58b29e40e

Push:
$ git push --set-upstream ipld:// master

Note: Some features like remote tracking are still missing, though the plugin is quite usable. IPNS helper is WIP and doesn't yet do what it should

Installation

1. go get github.com/magik6k/git-remote-ipld
2. make install
3. Done
4. Make sure you run go-ipfs 0.4.17 or newer as you need git support

Limitations / TODOs

• ipns remote is not implemented fully yet

Troubleshooting

• fetch: manifest has unsupported version: 2 (we support 3) on any command
  • This usually means that tracker data format has changed
  • Simply do rm -rf .git/ipld
• command [...] EOF or [...] no parser for format "git" using input type "raw"
  • You don't have git IPFS plugin properly installed, see step 5 of installation.
