@subsubsection Version Control Services
The @code{(gnu services version-control)} module provides a service to
allow remote access to local Git repositories.
allow remote access to local Git repositories. There are two options:
the @code{git-daemon-service}, which provides access to repositories via
the @code{git://} unsecured TCP-based protocol, or extending the
@code{nginx} web server to proxy some requests to
@code{git-http-backend}.

@end table
@end deftp
The @code{git://} protocol lacks authentication. When you pull from a
repository fetched via @code{git://}, you don't know that the data you
receive was modified is really coming from the specified host, and you
have your connection is subject to eavesdropping. It's better to use an
authenticated and encrypted transport, such as @code{https}. Although Git allows you
to serve repositories using unsophisticated file-based web servers,
there is a faster protocol implemented by the @code{git-http-backend}
program. This program is the back-end of a proper Git web service. It
is designed to sit behind a FastCGI proxy. @xref{Web Services}, for more
on running the necessary @code{fcgiwrap} daemon.
Guix has a separate configuration data type for serving Git repositories
over HTTP.
@deftp {Data Type} git-http-configuration
Data type representing the configuration for @code{git-http-service}.
@table @asis
@item @code{package} (default: @var{git})
Package object of the Git distributed version control system.
@item @code{git-root} (default: @file{/srv/git})
Directory containing the Git repositories to expose to the world.
@item @code{export-all?} (default: @var{#f})
Whether to expose access for all Git repositories in @var{git-root},
even if they do not have the @file{git-daemon-export-ok} file.
@item @code{uri-path} (default: @file{/git/})
Path prefix for Git access. With the default @code{/git/} prefix, this
will map @code{http://@var{server}/git/@var{repo}.git} to
@code{/srv/git/@var{repo}.git}. Requests whose URI paths do not begin
with this prefix are not passed on to this Git instance.
@item @code{fcgiwrap-socket} (default: @code{127.0.0.1:9000})
The socket on which the @code{fcgiwrap} daemon is listening. @xref{Web
Services}.
@end table
@end deftp
There is no @code{git-http-service-type}, currently; instead you can
create an @code{nginx-location-configuration} from a
@code{git-http-configuration} and then add that location to a web
server.
@deffn {Scheme Procedure} git-http-nginx-location-configuration @
[config=(git-http-configuration)]
Compute an @code{nginx-location-configuration} that corresponds to the
given Git http configuration. An example nginx service definition to
serve the default @file{/srv/git} over HTTPS might be:
@example
(service nginx-service-type
(nginx-configuration
(server-blocks
(list
(nginx-server-configuration
(http-port #f)
(server-name "git.my-host.org")
(ssl-certificate
"/etc/letsencrypt/live/git.my-host.org/fullchain.pem")
(ssl-certificate-key
"/etc/letsencrypt/live/git.my-host.org/privkey.pem")
(locations
(list
(git-http-nginx-location-configuration
(git-http-configuration (uri-path "/"))))))))))
@end example
This example assumes that you are using Let's Encrypt to get your TLS
certificate. @xref{Certificate Services}. The default @code{certbot}
service will redirect all HTTP traffic on @code{git.my-host.org} to
HTTPS. You will also need to add an @code{fcgiwrap} proxy to your
system services. @xref{Web Services}.
