Proof of concept django app for git-lfs storage server

django-git-lfs

This is a proof of concept git-lfs storage server implementation, see:

• https://github.com/blog/1986-announcing-git-large-file-storage-lfs
• https://github.com/github/git-lfs
• https://github.com/github/git-lfs/blob/master/docs/api.md

TODO, missing features

• Secure perms handler for adding new access tokens
• Returning the correct HTTP status codes for responses
• Tests and documentation
• Anything besides beeing a proof of concept ;-)

Done

• Authentication
• Bind this to any real world usage -> See https://github.com/ddanier/gitolite-git-lfs

Why a Django based implemtation?

• Runs on many setups, with many webservers, with many databases, with many …
• Reusable app, so this may be part of some bigger project
• May use Django storage backends (Amazon S3, Dropbox, …), see https://www.djangopackages.com/grids/g/storage-backends/
• I personally like it :)
