git-manager

A simple tool to automatically "git pull" on a repository with HTTP requests.

Installation

npm install git-manager

Usage

cd your_git_repo
git-manager

By default git-manager will be listening on port 9999 and will take the current working directory as the repository path.

If you navigate to http://your_ip:9999 you will be asked for a login and password, default credentials are:

• User name: admin
• Password: password

To make your repository do "git pull" just navigate to http://your_ip:9999/pull

Please not that running git-manager with the defaults is not secure, you should at least set a custom password and an access key for the /pull endpoint. Here's an example:

git-manager -w MySecurePassword -k MySecureKey

Now http://your_ip:9999/pull won't do anything unless you specify the access key like so:

http://your_ip:9999/pull?key= MySecureKey
