Open-source Dropbox using Ruby and Git

gitdocs's Issues

Haskel --> Haskell

Typo within README (sorry to be that person), near the bottom, where git-annex-assistant is linked it's meant to say "Haskell" not "Haskel". Would have submitted a pull request, but it's a very small issue for a pull request.

Ability to change the defualt port

It might be useful to include a settings option to change the default port as other programs ( think MAMP ) use :8888 for the localhost.

Icons for folders & files

Is this only work for default master branch in a repository?

I test it in a repository at no-master branch.it not work normal.
Should you consider gitdocs for mutil branches in a repository?

Ability to Delete and Rename files from the Directory Listing

It would be nice if files could be deleted from the directory listing rather than having to open a file and delete it. Also, there doesn't seem to be an option to rename the files. Again this would be nice if it could be included in the directory listing.

Manage large binary files

Hi, great project, which i'd love to start using as soon as this feature is in.

We use dropbox but have the server space (tens of gb) to move to git, but git produces large repos, very quickly, when used with binary data.
Binary data is unfortunately quite common (word/excel/indesign..) and so for it to be usable and not create 100Gb out of a 5gb data within half a year, history dumping is really important.

This has also been discussed in sparkleshare and dismissd, so here's your chance to shine.

I would really love to help with this and have spent hours at the git docs: Alas, my brain is too small, I can not follow into the depths from which the master linus has created this beast.
Conceptionally it's simple: given a time-limit X, you just fold all commits before into one and possibly run gc, Possibly one can just say the last x versions too, whatever makes it easier. But the exact syntax is for someone else to find out.

Full-text search on web

We could index the files and allows them to be searched and the results displayed. This would be great allowing wikis or files or code snippets (all plain text) to be easily found in a repo. Should be easy if we leverage ack or similar.

Add Linux support

When I run gitdocs start, it claims to start the server and doesn't print any errors, but nothing happens, and subsequent commands make it clear that the server never actually starts.

Note: Seems the issue is linux is not supported just yet

YARDify our codebase

Better documentation using YARD for our codebase.

Add/delete shares from web interface

Sortable web view

gitdocs does not push to bitbucket

after i make some changes in monitored directory, commit is done automatically but changes arent pushed to bitbucket, and gitdocs server stops after each of these changes

i initially did
gitdocs create my_local_folder [email protected]:brankito/public_share.git
and started gitdocs server
gitdocs start

then when i add or change some files in my_local_folder commit is realised but nothing pushed to bitbucket, and gitdocs status gives me running:false.

i use SSH, and have added keys as instructed, when i run gitdocs start -D i am being asked to enter passphrase, and when i do it continues asking me to do repeatidly.. maybe this is some clue. Thanks!

EDIT: ok now i know whats problem but dont know how to solve it. the reason while it didnt push is because it ask for passphrase, then it pushes, but then again after a 15sec period(polling_interval) it asks again, so how to store that permanently so it doesnt ask me? thank you.

Revert revision history from web

Once we have the ability to see revision history from the web, we should consider allowing a file to be reverted back to a particular version on the web front-end.

Markdown rendering broken

With the currently specified version of Redcarpet specified (2.0.0), Markdown rendering seems to be broken, or at least was for me running Ruby 2.1.0 on ArchLinux.

I'm by no means a Ruby expert, but I got things to work by simply changing
s.add_dependency 'redcarpet', '~> 2.0.0'
to
s.add_dependency 'redcarpet', '~> 3.1.1'
in gitdocs.gemspec, then rake building and installing the new Gem.

This seems to have no ill effects that I've noticed.

Really loving the project so far, thanks for the awesome work :D

Viewing repository root returns a blank page

I'd love to get this fixed but have been living with it for the time being. I have a repo setup at "/Users/Chris/Gitdocs" its the only repo so if I try to browse the dir contents (http://localhost:8888/0) I see nothing but a blank page. I have a dir inside here called "Notes" if I visit in "http://localhost:8888/0/Notes" all is well and subsequent directories in here work fine. Returning back to the root however returns a blank page again.

Other than that, really loving this :D

Certain characters aren't supported

I'm note really sure wether this is an git, ruby or your issue but folders containing umlauts like ä and other special characters like ø aren't encoded properly.

Markdown fenced code support?

In the webinterface, gitdocs display markdown document pretty well -- except those with code block.

Somehow we get used to GitHub flavored markdown, many of our docs have fenced code block or block code. Look good on github but become a mess on gitdoc web preview.

Is it possible to add supports of github flavoured markdown (as mentioned http://railscasts.com/episodes/272-markdown-with-redcarpet?view=asciicast)?

Thanks

More informative commit log

It would be nice if gitdocs could give a more informative commit log than the default
"Auto-commit from gitdocs"

A list of the files that were changed/added/deleted would be good.

Switch from shell to grit

We have a lot of git commands we use right now directly through the shell. We are better off using grit to power our git usage and avoid the shell altogether. In a future version, let's replace the shell commands with the grit apis.

Only pull automatically for certain repos

I´m using gitdocs successfully for my orgmode files, emacs config and dotfiles.
But what bothers me, are the generic commit messages for code changes.

Now it would be very good to set a flag for a new repo to only pull remote changes automatically.

That way one could create real commit messages for certain changes in dotfiles or emacs config
push them manually and they are spread over all machines running gitdocs for the same repository.

Gitdocs crashes

I get frequent crashes on my mac (10.6.8, ruby 1.9.3 from macports). When I started in debug mode, after a while I got this error message:

Problems with pre3

Installing the latest prerelease 3 yesterday, I have run into some serious problems. I'm running gitdocs on updated Debian wheezy and Arch Linux systems. gitdocs pre3 takes 100% cpu and is slowly filling up my $HOME. I can't see where, but in my one and only share temporary files are continuously being created (but also removed) in .git/objects/.
I'm not touching the actual files in my share during all this.

On my Debian server, gitdocs eventually crashes after around 30 minutes, with log output as below. On the client I had to slay the hogging process before that... I tried with start -D but get nothing there.

Installing from source

Hi guys, I would like to give gitdocs a shot and in the process to write an ebuild (default Gentoo package atom) for it. Are there any instructions on installing gitdocs from source which I could follow?

Possibility to set the base url of gitdocs internal webserver

So I can have my gitdocs root listing at http://example.com/my/
Or is this possible somehow?

Using Ruby community style guide and rubocop on the code base.

I would like to apply most, but probably not all, of the rules from https://github.com/bbatsov/ruby-style-guide primarily by using the https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop gem.

(One example to disable would be the HashSyntax offence, which expects the Ruby1.9 syntax)

I wanted to check to see if this seems like a good ideas before put any time into this. :)

Easy sharing of a particular file using a url

We could use localtunnel or some other means to allow a user to 'public' share and then give a url which other users can access. Or maybe we should just avoid this? Not sure.

Consider converting to Sinatra

I would like to do some refactoring in the gitdocs UI, and I wonder if we should the web framework first.
@nesquena or @joshbuddy do you consider Renee to still be supported? I see that it has been in pre-release since 2012, and according to rubytoolbox it is only being used by gitdocs.

What would you think of switching to Sintara? (Padrino would be an option, but my first instinct is that it probably more heavy than necessary for this gitdocs.)

Conflict marking code is over marking

Looks like I have mis-used the Rugged conflict entires, and non-conflicted files can get marked as conflict when there are conflicted files.
I am working on a fix and I will have a PR as soon as I can.

Manage (add/remove) paths from web

Should be able to add or remove paths via the web interface in settings

Edit files in the web front-end

Be able to edit files in the web front-end using the ace text editor and sytntax highlighting. Brewing in https://github.com/bazaarlabs/gitdocs/tree/edit_files branch.

Also support uploading and deleting files in web front-end

Do not fail silently

Right now Gitdocs does not tell me when it quits because of error, if I don't have notifications on. So I can only choose between a constant stream of update notifications and periodically having to check if Gitdocs is still running manually.

If Gitdocs quits without me noticing it will probably mean that I will lose file revisions. Not cool.

Because of this I request that Gitdocs will make an effort to let me know when it quits. Growl notification, some kind of sound or anything as long as it keeps me from potentially losing data.

That would make a great tool even better. Thanks.

Windows support

We should support windows at some point.

Daemon starts and quits almost immediately

I'm using gitdocs on OS X 10.9.2 through Homebrew ruby. I do:

$ gitdocs start -D

The web server (v1.3.1) starts, and handles a few requests, but then:

SystemExit - #<SystemExit: exit> - "exit"
/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/2.1.0/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/gitdocs-0.4.15/lib/gitdocs/runner.rb:133:in `exit'

Handle doc submodules?

Should we support repo submodules

View revision history on web

Git has rich revision history. Using grit, we should be able to retrieve and display that on the web front-end, allowing people to view the history of a file.

bitpocket: Another open-source Dropbox alternative

I'm the author of bitpocket (https://github.com/sickill/bitpocket), rsync-based solution for 2 way syncing, very similar to LipSync.
You have a list of other alternatives in your project's readme and it would be cool if you added bitpocket to the list.

Doesn't seem to show dotfiles in web listing.

Dotfiles seem to work in the repo, and in the web interface if I go to the directory manually (by editing the URL), but they don't seem to show in the default listing on the web interface, when I go to http://localhost:8888/.

Create a directory

CLI Configuration support

You should be able to set polling interval, notifications, etc for a repo using the cli?

gitdocs config polling.interval --set 5
gitdocs config polling.interval
gitdocs config polling.interval --global
gitdocs config -l # list all?

growlnotify no longer availabe

brew install growlnotify returns

Error: No available formula for growlnotify 

But the DMG for growl notify still exits

Validate each watched path is a repo

I was taking a look at the project and I noticed that you can add paths to be watched by gitdocs, but if the path dont have git repository it shows an error in the debugger mode

I think that when you try to add a path to be watched i should detect if it has a git repo already or prompt for creating one

push and pull endless loop

When following the directions on the projects github homepage, using the bitbucket site, and making a ~/Documents/gitdocs, etc, etc.

As soon as the repo is adding, a constant loop of notifications informing me that the repo can't be synced.

Then when I added my first file, it just keeps endlessly notifying me that the file pushed. "Pushed 0 Changes"

This just continues to loop forever.

Stopping and starting gitdocs seems to fix this, but not sure why it happens.

One instance doesn't seem to pull automatically

I have a repository on a server, and run gitdocs on both the server and a "client". Both push fine to the repo, but the gitdocs instance on the server doesn't seem to pull. Only when I do a gitdocs restart there, I get the new commits. How can I debug?

(pushing to the repo is fine on both client and server--I see almost instant updates to the repo on the server)

Sparkleshare & gitdocs

I use sparkleshare on a client to push files & folders to a git and use gitdocs on this server to pull those elements to another directory (as sparkleshare has no command line mode). Works so far so good :-)
Anyhow somethings messed up with the rights of the folders & files once gitdocs pulls them. On the initial checkout with gitdocs everything is fine.
But as soon as I create a new file or folder on the sparkleshare side and gitdocs got the file or folder it will gain an extra +w. So a folder created with drwxrwxr-x will be drwxrwxrwx afterwards. The same goes for files a file created with -rw-rw-r-- will be -rw-rw-rw- after the pull of gitdocs.
When I use sparkleshare on another client this doesn't happen. I looked through server.rb but wasn't able to find why the rights are changed. Anyone an idea?

Request Failed for some Renamed Files

After editing the name of a file and trying to view the newly named file via the browser I'm seeing the message:

Got java.io.EOFException (Server closed connection while sending the HTTP header.): http://localhost:8888/0/computing/server/basic-server-setup.md

This is also happening on a couple of other files I have renamed. I can't work out the exact trigger of it. It would seeming renaming files then trying to access them via their new name sometimes works and sometimes produces the error above.
