• Javascript SDK

This project is webserver that can be used as a docker container to provide a proxy/rest api on top of git repository. One of the goal of this is to work around github api rate limiting. The api tries to looks as similar to the github rest api.

Following apis are supported for now:

• Commits
  • List
  • Get
  • Compare
• Branch
  • List
• Files
  • List
  • Get content

docker run -d -p 3009:3009 azuredevx/git-rest-api
sleep 3 # optional: wait for container to start
curl localhost:3009/repos/github.com%2Foctocat%2FHello-World/contents/

You can configure various options using environemnt variables. See https://github.com/Azure/git-rest-api/blob/master/src/config/schema.ts

Note: There is no authentication layer yet from your service to the docker image. You should most likely use in in a contained environment(Inside a VNet or kubernetes cluster for example)

• Using the Javascript sdk A javascript sdk is always included and up to date with the latest version of the service.

npm install --save git-rest-api-sdk

• Use rest api

There is a /swagger endpoint which serve the swagger UI with all the api you can use and help you figure out the available/required params.

To authenticate against the repo if its not public you have 2 options:

• x-authorization: This needs to be in a Basic auth format(Basic base64(usename:password)). Check with the git server how you can authenticate.
• x-github-token: This is an helper for authnetication against github api. The basic header will be generated automatically

1. Install dependencies

npm install

2. Run

npm start           # To run once
npm start:watch     # To run and restart when there is a change

Run in vscode

Instead of npm start run npm build:watch and in vscode press F5

• Long path issue. libgit2(library behind nodegit) doesn't support windows long path feature. Which means some repo with long reference might not work on windows. You can test with other simpler repos on windows. You should however not use this in production on windows.
