Redmine plugin - Git Server

This Redmine plugin lets your users pull and push to/from your git repositories hosted on Redmine with HTTP - without any complex setup.

Under the hood, it relies on Grack, a Ruby/Rack Git Smart HTTP Server Handler.

Installation

This plugin is tested with Redmine 4.1+ (but it could be compatible with other versions).

Please apply general instructions for plugins here.

Note that this plugin depends on this other plugin:

• redmine_base_deface here

First download the source or clone the plugin and put it in the "plugins/" directory of your redmine instance. Note that this is crucial that the directory is named 'redmine_git_server'!

Then execute:

$ bundle install
$ rake redmine:plugins

And finally restart your Redmine instance.

Permissions

• Git Server > Enable git server : allows a user to enable/disable the project module "Git Server"
• (Redmine built-in) Repository > View changesets : allows a user to fetch changesets (pull) from a repository
• (Redmine built-in) Repository > Commit access : allows a user to push to a repository

Alternatives

• redmine_git_hosting - based on Gitolite, this plugin offer a lot more features but it is also more complex to setup.

Known issues
