# 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
## Older Distributions (18.04)
sudo apt install -y python3.8 python3.8-venv python3-venv libarchive-dev
python3.8 -m venv venvog
. venvog/bin/activate
python3.8 -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Run with:
./gitapi.py
## Usage
**Note:** Run as `opengnsys`, as it manages the images located in `/opt/opengnsys/images`.
$ . venvog/bin/activate
$ ./gitapi.py
# 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 Example
### Get list of branches
$ curl -L http://localhost:5000/repositories/linux/branches
{
"branches": [
"master"
]
}
### Synchronize with remote repository
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"remote_repository":"foobar"}' -X POST -L http://localhost:5000/repositories/linux/sync
