node-git-proxy

This is part of the ES-Git project.

Install

npm install --save @es-git/node-git-proxy

Usage

This package can be used as an http proxy for git clients that run in the browser. It is useful because none of the major git hosts support CORS, so you cannot use XHR (or fetch) to clone a git repo in the browser. This package solves this problem by acting as a proxy so you can use the fetch-mixin and the push-mixin in the browser.

//server.js
import * as http from 'http';
import proxy from 'node-git-proxy';

const server = new http.Server(proxy);

// or with koa:
app.use(ctx => proxy(ctx.req, ctx.res));

server.listen(80);
