gitfs is a FUSE file system that fully integrates with git - Version controlled file system

Overview

gitfs Build Status Coverage Status PyPI

Welcome to GitFS

gitfs is a FUSE file system that fully integrates with git. You can mount a remote repository's branch locally, and any subsequent changes made to the files will be automatically committed to the remote.

gitfs was developed by the awesome engineering team at Presslabs, a Managed WordPress Hosting provider.

What's its purpose?

gitfs was designed to bring the full powers of git to everyone, no matter how little they know about versioning. A user can mount any repository and all their changes will be automatically converted into commits. gitfs will also expose the history of the branch you're currently working on by simulating snapshots of every commit.

gitfs is useful in places where you want to keep track of all your files, but at the same time you don't have the possibility of organizing everything into commits yourself. A FUSE filesystem for git repositories, with local cache.

Installing

We provide packages for the major Ubuntu releases and MacOS, but you can find community packages for most of popular Linux distributions. If you want to build packages for a distribution, or you already did, please contact us and we'll list it here.

Ubuntu 18.04+

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:presslabs/gitfs
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gitfs

MacOS

brew install gitfs

Pip

We also publish a package to PyPI, which can be installed via pip using the following commmand:

pip install gitfs

Usage

You can mount a remote or local repository easly, just by providing the repository to clone and a directory used to mount.

gitfs http://your.com/repository.git /mount/directory

The entire filesystem can be tweaked when mounting it, using a set of options.

gitfs [email protected]:user/repo.git /mypath -o
repo_path=/tmp/path,branch=dev,log=-,debug=true,foreground=true,fetch_timeout=0.1,merge_timeout=0.1...

For an entire list of options, you can check the arguments page.

Features

  • Automatically commits changes: create, delete, update files and their metadata
  • Browse through working index and commit history
  • Merges with upstream by automatically accepting local changes
  • Caching commits reduces the memory footprint and speeds up navigation
  • Reduces the number of pushes by batching commits

Development

You can find more documentation on gitfs homepage.

    pygit2 version needs to be bumped

    pygit2 0.26.0 adds support for libgit2 0.26.0, so the version in requirements.txt should be bumped so that gitfs doesn't conflict with the latest libgit2.

    Cf. https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/14731

    As a side note, fusepy 2.0.4 is also available now.

    Hi guys,

    I was just checking out the source code, coming from BountySource. I noticed on lines 446 - 462, the code is not indented. They are referencing first_commit and second_commit which are only defined within the loop.

    Let me know if this is correct and I'll fire away a PR.

  • Log exception messages on failures

    Log exception messages on failures

    For example when a fetch fails, it only logs Fetch failed without a reason. We should log exceptions with log.exception(message). This would make debugging errors much more easy.

    This I found to be the case only on FetchWorker.

    Python atomiclong seems to be discontinued

    I was just looking through the dependencies and noticed that the atomiclong dependency (requirements.txt) seems to be discontinued with the developer saying not to use it. I'm not sure if this recommendation is because they wish to no longer maintain it or if there are underlying issues, does anyone have any input or awareness involving this?
