lilgit

A read-only git HTTP(S) frontend for Lilush: git clone/fetch over smart-HTTP plus a browsing UI — repo index, directory trees at any ref, markdown/djot rendered as HTML, raw file serving. Everything is served straight from the git object database: bare repositories work, no worktree or checkout is ever needed.

Pushes to served repositories appear immediately — the git core's mtime caches invalidate themselves. git push over HTTP is refused; push over ssh to the bare repo instead.

URL scheme

Path	Behavior
`/`	repo index
`/{repo}`	redirect to the default-branch tree
`/{repo}/tree/{ref}/{path}/`	directory listing, README rendered below
`/{repo}/blob/{ref}/{path}`	markdown/djot as HTML; source as text; images/binaries raw
`/{repo}/raw/{ref}/{path}`	raw bytes, extension-guessed MIME

{ref} is a branch (slashes allowed), tag, full refs/... path, HEAD, or a full 40-hex sha; sha-pinned URLs are served as immutable. Clone URLs (/{repo} or /{repo}.git) coexist with browse URLs.

Configuration

Read from LILGIT_CONFIG_FILE (default /etc/lilgit/config.json); a missing file means pure defaults. CLI flags (--ip, --port, --dir, --title) override everything.

{
    "ip": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": 8091,
    "site_title": "my code",
    "repos_dir": "/srv/git",
    "repos": [
        {
            "name": "lilush",
            "path": "/srv/git/lilush.git",
            "description": "Linux Shell & Lua Framework",
            "default_branch": "master"
        }
    ],
    "ssl": { "default": { "cert": "...", "key": "..." } }
}

Repositories are discovered in repos_dir at startup (dirs with HEAD or .git/HEAD); explicit repos entries win on name collision. The ssl table enables built-in TLS (SNI-capable); omit it when running behind a reverse proxy.

Tests

Run from the pack root:

lilush tests/run.lua
LILGIT_E2E=1 lilush tests/run.lua

The e2e spec forks a real server and drives it with the git and curl binaries.
