Simple Git Server For Mac

Simple Git Server is a straightforward app that enables you to configure and run your own Git service through a few simple operations.

It is important to note that, because authentication is not possible, you should only run this server in a closed local network whose users can be trusted.

The setup operation could hardly be simpler, as all you need to do is specify the path of the server root and the desired port. You can also choose whether push operations are permitted and if remote computers should be allowed to connect.

Once you have set up your server, you can add new repositories and organize them into multiple folders. The application can automatically append the ‘.GIT’ path extension, to ensure your repositories are formatted correctly.

If you want to view them in Finder, you can access the right-click menu to navigate to their location on your Mac quickly.

The service can be launched and managed from the menu bar icon. The symbol’s appearance changes depending on the server’s status, and you can start, stop or restart it at any time.

You can choose whether the app’s menu bar and Dock icons should be displayed. If you just want the service to run in the background without interfering with your activities, Simple Git Server is an ideal tool for the job.

In conclusion, this straightforward application can help you configure and run your own Git service with very little effort, as well as create and manage repositories. It is easy-to-use but, because authentication is not supported, it should only be run on closed local networks.
