Pygit Server¶

The project implements a dedicated .pygit server.

It is not official git daemon, and it does not implement GitHub, SSH Git, HTTP Git, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack, or the official Git wire protocol.

Start The Server¶

Run the server against a repository path:

python3 -m pygit.cli serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 9419 /path/to/repo

This starts the dedicated .pygit TCP server for that repository.

Clone From The Server¶

Use the custom remote URL scheme:

python3 -m pygit.cli clone pygit://127.0.0.1:9419 /path/to/clone

The remote protocol is project-specific and intentionally smaller than the full official Git protocol family.

Fetch And Push¶

Once cloned, normal project remote workflows are available:

cd /path/to/clone
python3 -m pygit.cli fetch
python3 -m pygit.cli push

Non-Fast-Forward Protection¶

The project rejects non-fast-forward push where appropriate. That keeps the dedicated server aligned with the same core repository safety expectations enforced in local workflows.
