# GitLib
The `gitapi.py` is an API for OgGit, written in Python/Flask.
It is an HTTP server that receives commands and executes maintenance actions including the creation and deletion of repositories.
# Installing Python dependencies
The conversion of the code to Python 3 currently requires the packages specified in `requirements.txt`.
To install Python dependencies, the `venv` module is used (https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html), which installs all dependencies in an environment independent of the system.
# Usage
# Ubuntu 24.04
sudo apt install -y python3-flask python3-paramiko opengnsys-flask-executor opengnsys-flask-restx
The `opengnsys-flask-executor` and `opengnsys-flask-restx` packages are available on the OpenGnsys package server.
Run with:
./gitapi.py
**Note:** Run as `opengnsys`, as it manages the images located in `/opt/opengnsys/images`.
# Documentation
Python documentation can be generated using a utility like pdoc3 (there are multiple possible alternatives):
# Install pdoc3
pip install --user pdoc3
# Generate documentation
pdoc3 --force --html opengnsys_git_installer.py
# Operation
## Requirements
The gitapi is designed to run within an existing opengnsys environment. It should be installed in an ogrepository.
## API Examples
### Get list of branches
$ curl -L http://localhost:5000/repositories/linux/branches
{
"branches": [
"master"
]
}
### Synchronize with remote repository
