# Globalist
|
|
Idea: distributed githubless repository sharing. Yes, this is the official home ;-)
|
|
|
|
Globalist is an attempt to ease the distribution of git repos, away from central points of failure.
|
|
|
|
Globalist stands for "Global List" and aims at replacing any EtherPads of more than transient value.
|
|
|
|
Globalist is also meant to evolve into an experimental distributed asynchronous wiki facility.
|
|
|
|
Nodes can come and go, and network topology only depends on the peers entries in the nodes' config files. Changes that are merged by one's peers propagate by diffusion.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Make a new directory and put this in the file ./repo.cfg (when creating a new repository instead of cloning from a peer, the list or indeed the repo.cfg file can remain empty)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[network]
|
|
peers = <comma-separated list of onion domain names, with or without the suffix .onion>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a public repository, no authentication is needed (option -X). In case authentication is used, prepend the secret as follows: somebody:secret@peeroniondomainname.onion
|
|
|
|
For each shared repo, Globalist will create one .onion service. Note that it is possible to use either bare repos or not-bare repos.
|
|
|
|
To clone a bare repo:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Globalist.py -bc ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To pull once from a bare repo:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Globalist.py -bp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## To install locally
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./setup.py install --user
|
|
```
|

|
|
