Git SQL

This is an experimental implementation of Git storage and operations on top of PostgreSQL.

Why

Git is a very flexible platform for version control and content-addressable storage. GitSQL aims to take advantage of the server-side abilities of PostgreSQL to implement Git operations using PostgreSQL features. This is still experimental, and is not recommended for production use.

Installation

Install from Git:

cargo install git-sql --git https://github.com/SpinlockLabs/GitSQL.git

Install from crates.io:

cargo install git-sql

Usage

• Create a database in PostgreSQL, such as gitdb.
• Create a configuration file as gitdb.toml:

# Repositories are specified under named tables.
[repositories.mygitrepo]
# The URL to connect to the database.
postgres-url = "postgres://127.0.0.1/gitdb"
# A path to a local repository, used to update the SQL repository.
local-path = "/path/to/my/local/repo"

# Git Server Configuration
# URL format: http://myhost:port/mygitrepo
[server]
# Binds to the given host and port.
bind = "0.0.0.0:3020"

• Initialize the GitSQL schema:

git-sql -c config.toml -r mygitrepo init

• Import the Git repository into the SQL database:

git-sql -c config.toml -r mygitrepo update

• Run the Git server:

git-sql -c config.toml serve

• Clone the repository:

git clone http://localhost:8080/mygitrepo
