GitProxy is an application that stands between developers and a Git remote endpoint (e.g., github.com
). It applies rules and workflows (configurable as plugins
) to all outgoing git push
operations to ensure they are compliant.
The main goal of GitProxy is to marry the defacto standard Open Source developer experience (git-based workflow of branching out, submitting changes and merging back) with security and legal requirements that firms have to comply with, when operating in highly regulated industries like financial services.
That said, GitProxy can also be used on a local environment to enforce a single developer's best practices, which tends to be the easiest setup to start with and the most comfortable one to build new GitProxy plugins.

Install & run git-proxy (requires Nodejs):
$ npx -- @finos/git-proxy
Clone a repository, set the remote to the GitProxy URL and push your changes:
# Only HTTPS cloning is supported at the moment, see https://github.com/finos/git-proxy/issues/27.
$ git clone https://github.com/octocat/Hello-World.git && cd Hello-World
# The below command is using the GitHub official CLI to fork the repo that is cloned.
# You can also fork on the GitHub UI. For usage details on the CLI, see https://github.com/cli/cli
$ gh repo fork
✓ Created fork yourGithubUser/Hello-World
...
$ git remote add proxy http://localhost:8000/yourGithubUser/Hello-World.git
# This fetches the repository's default branch and pushes it (https://stackoverflow.com/a/44750379).
$ git push proxy $(git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD | sed 's@^refs/remotes/origin/@@')
Using the default configuration, GitProxy intercepts the push and blocks it. To enable code pushing to your fork via GitProxy, add your repository URL into the GitProxy config file (proxy.config.json
). For more information, refer to our documentation.
For detailed step-by-step instructions for how to install, deploy & configure GitProxy and customize for your environment, see the project's documentation:
