@foss.global/gitmanager

Headless Git manager for the foss.global Git platform.

This package follows the push.rocks Rust-backed package pattern: TypeScript owns the public package API and lifecycle, while Rust owns the Git/storage/protocol engine. TypeScript controls the Rust binary through @push.rocks/smartrust, and builds use @git.zone/tsrust.

The current implementation provides lifecycle IPC plus initial local bare repository management and read APIs. Git protocol serving, mirror refresh, authorization, and write/admin features are planned in ../readme.plan.md.

pnpm add @foss.global/gitmanager

Usage

import { GitManager } from '@foss.global/gitmanager';

const gitManager = new GitManager({
  dataDir: '/var/lib/foss-global/gitmanager',
});

await gitManager.start();
const status = await gitManager.getStatus();
console.log(status.running, status.dataDir);

await gitManager.importMirror({
  org: 'foss.global',
  repo: 'interfaces',
  remoteUrl: 'ssh://[email protected]:29419/foss.global/interfaces.git',
});

const refs = await gitManager.listRefs({ org: 'foss.global', repo: 'interfaces' });
const tree = await gitManager.listTree({ org: 'foss.global', repo: 'interfaces', ref: 'main' });
const readme = await gitManager.readFile({
  org: 'foss.global',
  repo: 'interfaces',
  ref: 'main',
  path: 'readme.md',
});

await gitManager.stop();

Public API

• GitManager: TypeScript facade for the Rust engine lifecycle.
• GitManager.start(): spawns the Rust binary through smartrust and starts the engine.
• GitManager.stop(): asks the engine to stop and always kills the bridge process in cleanup.
• GitManager.getStatus(): returns { running, dataDir, uptimeMs }.
• GitManager.initBareRepository(): creates an empty local bare repository.
• GitManager.importMirror(): imports a remote repository with git clone --mirror. Supported remote forms are https://, http://, ssh://, git://, file://, and SCP-like git@host:org/repo.git URLs.
• GitManager.listRepositories(): lists local repositories managed below the configured data directory.
• GitManager.listRefs(): lists branch and tag refs.
• GitManager.listTree(): lists tree entries at a ref and optional path.
• GitManager.readFile(): reads a blob as base64 after checking the blob size limit.
• GitManager.listCommits(): lists commit summaries for a ref.
• GitManager.getCommit(): reads commit detail metadata, parents, author/committer data, and diff stats for a ref.
• GitManager.getDiff(): returns a structured unified diff between a head ref and its first parent or an explicit base ref.
• GitManager.listTags(): lists lightweight and annotated tags with target object metadata.
• GitManager.getTag(): reads one tag by exact name.
• GitManager.running: local facade running state.
• RustGitManagerBridge: lower-level typed bridge around @push.rocks/smartrust.
• IGitManagerOptions, IGitManagerStatus, IRustGitManagerConfig: exported option/status contracts.

Repository/read DTO contracts are re-exported from the published @foss.global/interfaces package.

Read/list APIs go through JSON IPC. Git packfile streaming for clone/fetch/push must not go through JSON IPC; future Git HTTP/SSH transport work belongs in the Rust engine or controlled Git subprocesses.

The initial read APIs use the system git CLI with explicit arguments, non-interactive environment variables, command timeouts, ref-to-object-id resolution, path validation, bounded stdout/stderr capture, ref/tree result caps, and a 1 MiB file read cap.

Rust Build

The package builds a Rust binary named rustgitmanager from rust/ using @git.zone/tsrust.

Configured targets:

• linux_amd64
• linux_arm64

The ARM64 target uses rust/.cargo/config.toml with aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc as linker.

Testing

pnpm test
pnpm run test:rust
pnpm run build

pnpm test runs the pretest hook first, which builds the Rust binaries with tsrust, and then runs lifecycle plus local mirror import/read API tests through smartrust.
