# GitPad
A lightweight git web interface with:
* **editing support** (create, edit, move and remove files)
* **Markdown rendering** (for files named `*.md`)
* a **multi-user mode** with file sharing & collaborative editing
You can install GitPad with:
```
$ cargo install gitpad
```
GitPad needs to be started from inside of a bare Git repository.
For example:
```
$ git init --bare example.git
$ cd example.git/
$ gitpad
Listening on http://127.0.0.1:8000
```
By default GitPad is in single-user mode, serving the branch pointed to by `HEAD`.
**WARNING**: The `lua` feature is enabled by default. Lua sandboxing is still
experimental, so giving users access who you don't trust might lead to a system
compromise.
## Multi-user mode
Multi-user mode requires you to set up a reverse-proxy that authenticates users
and sets the `Username` header. Every user gets their own private Git branch,
named exactly like their username and served under `/~{username}`. Users can
share files/directories with other users by creating a `.shares.txt` file.
The simplest authentication mechanism is HTTP Basic Auth. With NGINX a
reverse-proxy could be configured as follows:
```nginx
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name notes.localhost;
client_max_body_size 5M;
location / {
auth_basic 'Restricted';
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/gitpad_passwd;
proxy_set_header Username $remote_user;
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
# Or if you start GitPad with --socket /srv/sockets/gitpad.sock
# proxy_pass http://unix:/srv/sockets/gitpad.sock;
}
}
```
For instructions on how to create the `auth_basic_user_file`,
refer to the [NGINX documentation](https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-http-basic-authentication/).
Once you have set this up start GitPad in multi-user mode by running it with the
`-m` flag.
## Configuring committer identities
In single-user mode GitPad just uses the
committer identity from your git config.
In multi-user mode GitPad defaults to `{username} <{username}@localhost.invalid>`.
Committer identities can be configured by creating a `users.toml` file in the
`gitpad` branch, with sections like the following:
```toml
[johndoe]
name = "John Doe"
email = "john@example.com"
```
## Lua scripting
Files can start with a shebang like `#!hello`, which will
interpret the following text with the `view` function returned
by in this case `bin/hello.lua`, e.g.
```lua
function view(text)
return '<pre>' .. gitpad.html_escape(string.upper(text)) .. '</pre>'
end
return {view=view}
```
