GitViewer

Overview

This module provides an additional Node, named Repository.
Adding a path to a git repository, it will allow users with appropriate permissions
to clone repositories via http, download archives, view diffs and commits and browse the repository tree.

After spent hours to get a git viewer working with available drupal modules like versioncontrol_api, we write a new git repository browser.

For HTTP clone support the module use WebDAV and git http-push.
You can set per repository permissions, so only defined users are allowed to clone a repository. Only if Drupal init the repository it controls direct write access to repositories.

Note: We only maintain the 7.x release
