egitd by Tom Preston-Werner tom@github.com

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

$git clone git@github.com:mojombo/egitd.git$ cd egitd $ rake

RUN

$ bin/egitd -c -l
