The Erlang git-daemon

egitd by Tom Preston-Werner [email protected]

egitd is an Erlang git-daemon implementation that provides a more flexible, scalable, and loggable way to serve public git repositories.

Development Status: Experimental

This software was in production use at github.com for a short time until it became obvious that the communications model was flawed. To be specific, if the upload-pack takes a long time to respond (for big repos), either the timeouts have to be increased to unreasonable values (slowing the entire transfer down), or some connections will timeout and fail.

INSTALL

$ git clone [email protected]:mojombo/egitd.git $ cd egitd $ rake

RUN

$ bin/egitd -c -l

CONF FILE

The config file specifies the mapping between specified repo name and file location.
