Move Gitrekt into own repo #83
Description
We are currently also looking at writing an git forge with elixir. We favor some different designs, like not using the erlang ssh module, indieweb integration and a plain json api.
If you could move gitrekt into its own repo, we could work on that part together.

Hi @kloenk, the
:gitrektapp is currently part of an umbrella application and could definitely be moved to it's own repository and Hex package. The interface is clean and can be used a a basic building block for Git related projects.Note that you will have to implement your own SSH, HTTP(S), etc. transport protocols around
GitRekt.WireProtocol. Also have a look at theGitRekt.GitRepoprotocol and theGitGud.RepoandGitGud.RepoPoolimplementation. See #38 for more details.I don't have much time left currently to work on this right now (christmas coming and professional projects to finish). But I will come back to this issue later on and try to get things moving.
Also, note that the
:gitrektapp has currently no unit-tests at all. I'd like to implement a test helper module built-aroundSystem.cmd/3to rungitcommand and add unit and integration tests forGitRekt.Git,GitRekt.GitAgent, etc.kloenk commentedon Dec 10, 2021
Yep already created a test repo to play with it. But I think I will use gitaly, as ist rpc calls and has many helpful features. Just have to teach it that I'm not a gitlab server :)

I would love to be able to use Gitrekt independently from GitLimo. That'd be a great contribution to the Elixir community as there no other good binding to Git for Elixir so far, AFAIK.

@mekeor You can easily use Gitrekt independently already. Drop
in your mix deps :)

@kloenk, what has been your experience with Gitaly? I'm building a localization platform with Git in its core, and I was debating between using Gitaly or building something on Elixir/Erlang.

I sadly hat not much more time, working on it, so not sure of the current state. It looked usable, but some quirks to work around
