3. git-receive-mail

   2 2 13 5.7 Shell

   

   For those that don't have an MUA, I have made https://github.com/djha-skin/git-receive-mail . It really is very doable these days to do the email workflow, on both ends.

4. boast

   3 1 1 - Zig

   Static git repo listing generator with `git clone` support.

   

   I once explored doing just that: https://github.com/nhanb/boast

   However I never got around to finishing it, mainly because I couldn't decide on where to stop: should I also generate commits from all non-master branch etc.

   I flirted with the idea of a browser-only repo viewer too, but re-implementing git packfile parsing in js didn't seem like something I'd want to spend my time on, so I moved on. Glad to see others pondering the same thing though.

5. git-pr

   4 6 295 9.0 Go

   A pastebin supercharged for git collaboration

   

   On the topic of format patch and send email: I’ve been slowly working on an ssh app that would replace send-email along with some other ideas surrounding collaboration over at: https://github.com/picosh/git-pr

6. libgit2

   5 31 9,960 9.7 C

   A cross-platform, linkable library implementation of Git that you can use in your application.

   

   That does get intense pretty quickly, if you're generating a source and commit/diff pages for every file * every commit. Probably just single commits would make the most sense and then a source browser for each branch.

   That said, JavaScript libgit2 is totally a thing [1], so doing it "properly" in a client app is totally possible.

7. ssh-git-hosting

   6 1 0 - Shell

   Host multiple repos on a dedicated ssh server using linux perms to provide read-write and read-only (for deploy keys) access.

   

   I ran a ssh server for a while to store git repositories. We had some with secrets in and I didn't want them on github. I needed to provide read only access and read write access for only some of the repos. I ended up with a bash script that configure system users and groups and permissions to do the job. It's here:

   I stopped using it years ago. It had the additional advantage of no artificial limits (file sizes etc).
