git-en-boite

An experiment to put git in a box to make it easy to work with in your apps.

Features

• Clone repos from 3rd party git providers (GitHub, GitLab etc) and set up webhooks to stay in sync when that remote is updated
• Emits events about changes in the repo
• Query the repo for branches, file lists, file contents, etc.
• Create new commits locally on a branch
• Create pull requests on 3rd party providers from a local branch

Architecture

git-en-boite is written in Node-JS, but runs in a docker container. It exposes an HTTP API.

The following docker-compose command starts the backend HTTP API for git and our example app:
