There is an ongoing outage on the primary CPAN mirror. It is possible to work around the issue by using MetaCPAN as a mirror.

NAME

git-client - Git Client Wrapper

DESCRIPTION

Wrapper around the real git provide additional functionality.

GIT_CONFIG Override

Allows for .gitconfig descent override files up until the $HOME directory. All descent .gitconfig files will be honored, although files closest to the git working directory will take precedence. All these descent .gitconfig files take precedence over --global config files, which take precedence over --system files in case of duplicate settings. And --local config files take precedence over all these descent files and all other --global and --system files.

-O <OPTION>

Populates GIT_OPTION_* environment variables on server side. These ENV settings will be available to all the server side hooks, including the pre-* hooks. Note that for this to work, the git ssh server must have "AcceptEnv XMODIFIERS" enabled in its sshd_config.

DEBUG

Sets DEBUG environment on server side to match the same numeric value as set on the client invoker.

INSTALL

Just make sure this program comes BEFORE the real "git" program in the PATH.

For example, as super user, you could do this:

[root@deploy-host ~]# wget -N -P /usr/local/bin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hookbot/git-server/master/git-client
[root@deploy-host ~]# chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/git-client
[root@deploy-host ~]# ln -s -v git-client /usr/local/bin/git
[root@deploy-host ~]#

Or as normal user, you could do this:

[root@deploy-host ~]$ mkdir -p ~/bin
[root@deploy-host ~]$ wget -N -P ~/bin https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hookbot/git-server/master/git-client
[root@deploy-host ~]$ chmod 755 ~/bin/git-client
[root@deploy-host ~]$ ln -s -v git-client ~/bin/git
[root@deploy-host ~]$ grep 'PATH=$HOME/bin' ~/.bash_profile || echo 'export PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH' | tee -a ~/.bash_profile
[root@deploy-host ~]$

SYNOPSIS

cd ~/src/github/project
git config --file ../.gitconfig user.email 'hookbot@github.com'
git config --list

PURPOSE

Allows you to use many different .gitconfig files within each folder of git repos. If there is no .gitconfig within the directory descent structure, then it will behave exactly like the normal git.
