Unable to remotly pull #17

Closed mtx-z closed 8 years ago

mtx-z commented 8 years ago

Hi, really nice tool ! Thanks :) Setup and initials configurations are working great.

Only thing, I cannot success to pull from my local machine onto my server. On "git pull http//my_ip:8000/", GIT answer that repo dont exist or is not a repo.

But i can access the interface using http//my_ip:8000/. Any thing i've missed ?

thx a lot !!

This should definitively work

Here are a few things you can try:

  1. I guess it's a typo, but you forgot the colon in the URLs in your post http//my_ip => http://my_ip
  2. Ensure the URL contains the trailing slash
  3. Try to clone/pull the repository on the same machine than the one running git-webui (git clone http://localhost:8000/). If this works, it may be network configuration issue
  4. Check the git version on your server. I didn't test git-webui on old git versions

After investigation, it seems to be an issue with git-http-backend in recent git versions adding have_fork = False as class variable in git-webui script seems to help but raises other issues on some repositories.

Hey Alberthier. Thanks for still carring about :) i'll try adding the 'have_fork' variable and see if i got result.

Are you planning to fix this in a next release ?

alberthier commented 8 years ago

Yes, I'll definitively fix this issue as it's one of the main feature of this project :) I reproduce it, but I don't know how to fix it reliably. I tested with git 2.1.4 : pull & clone work properly With git 2.5.4 : the feature is broken.

I'll probably release a version with the have_fork hack but it doesn't seem to be a complete solution
