cgit is a wrapper of git.

Features

  • Clone a repo from GitHub without the whole URL
  • GitHub proxy transparent support
  • Git command alias support

Mirror

cgit can set a mirror address for you if it's very slow with fetching data from GitHub.

Run this command cgit mirror in your local git repository directory,
it'll change the fetch address to github.com.cnpmjs.org. Reversing it is very easy,
just run command cigt mirror --enable=false.

Install

brew install linuxsuren/linuxsuren/cgit

cgit is fully compatible with git. So you make an alias for it. Add the following line into you shell profile:

alias git='cgit'

For bash users, you edit it via: vim ~/.bashrc

For zsh users, you can edit via: vim ~/.zshrc

Get started

Clone

cgit clone linuxsuren/cgit
