Git Integration

JSS includes a Git HTTP backend, allowing you to use standard git commands with pods.

Enable Git support​

jss start --git

Clone a repository​

git clone http://localhost:3000/alice/myrepo

Requires acl:Read permission.

Push changes​

cd myrepo
echo "Update" >> README.md
git add . && git commit -m "Update"
git push

Requires acl:Write permission.

Auto-checkout​

After a successful push to a non-bare repository, JSS automatically updates the working directory. No post-receive hooks needed.

Git with Nostr Authentication​

Use git-credential-nostr for push authentication:

npm install -g git-credential-nostr
git-credential-nostr generate
git config --global credential.helper nostr
git config --global nostr.privkey <key>

# Generate ACL for your repo
cd myrepo
git-credential-nostr acl > .acl
git add .acl && git commit -m "Add ACL"
git push

See Git Push with Nostr for a complete guide.
