Is there a good php git client with http support?

问题:

For a project I am working on, we want to use git as a revision tracker for certain data we modify often. We are using php for the web frontend and we need a goo php git client to use. I have come across a handful on the internet and they all tend to have the same limitation...

There is no support for HTTP. We need to be able to push/pull to remote repositories. We also need to clone.

Ideally I am looking for something that does not use the git command (ie: wrapers to exec()) but I am willing to settle if the class works well. I have seen a C library which appears to do what I want, however the php language binding is incomplete and the http functions are labeled experimental.

Does anyone have any insight into using git and http through php?

Git.php is a wrapper class around git calls that uses proc_open instead of exec to run the commands. While it does not have push/pull methods, it does have a general run method for running custom git commands, so it could be used something like this:

$repo = Git::open('/path/to/repo');
$repo->run('push origin master');

It also does have methods for cloning (clone_to and clone_from which do local cloning and clone_remote for remote cloning).



回答2:

One possibility is to use PHP's SSH library to perform those actions by connecting back to the web server?

Or I found this set of classes which allow you to you to clone and read other metadata over HTTP, but not push nor pull. However it could be a starting point if you're brave enough to extend them to do that. I can imagine it would be a lot of work to replicate these processes and keep them compliant with various server versions etc.

I did get some way trying to implement the above (I was searching for an implementation, drew a blank so tried to write my own), and it was hard as I thought! I actually abandoned it as I found a simpler way to achieve this in a different architecture, but here's the class I wrote trying. It essentially works, but was brittle to the environmental variations I was working in (i.e. it doesn't cope very well with errors or problems).

It uses:

  1. herzult/php-ssh
  2. an ssh config file - a trick to simplify setting up authentication credentials in code

(Note - I had to quickly strip out a few details from the code to post it. So you'll need to fiddle about a bit to integrate it into your app/namespace etc.)

This looks promising: http://gitphp.org (broken link; see an archived version)

I think that will do it for you. Here is the description of it:

GitPHP is a web frontend for git repositories. It emulates the look of standard gitweb, but is written in PHP and makes use of Smarty templates for customization. It has a couple extras, including syntax highlighting through the GeSHi PHP class and project category support. It works with standard git as well as msysgit on Windows.

Setup should be fairly simple – just extract the tarball where you want to install it, copy config/gitphp.conf.php.example to config/gitphp.conf.php, and set the projectroot in the conf to point to your directory where your bare git repositories are, and make the templates_c directory writeable by the webserver if it’s not already. You can look through all the available options and defaults in config/gitphp.conf.defaults.php, and copy an option into your config file if you want to override the default. You can also copy config/projects.conf.php.example to config/projects.conf.php and edit it if you want more advanced control over your projects, such as defining categories for projects or loading projects from a text file. More detailed instructions are in the included README.

Note: if you’re upgrading your existing gitphp.conf.php will not be overwritten, but I recommend checking gitphp.conf.defaults.php for new configuration options that may have been added.
