Is anyone using any headless Git service?


Basically an api server for git, like Github API without public facing stuff (also excluding endpoints for its public facing stuff like issues/pull requests etc), only git related endpoints.

I believe there should be at least one .. but I didn't find any. Only found self-hosted git even though some have api.

So I think you know what I mean by "headless".

Not sure if it's what you're looking for but I self host gitolite on a VPS. Access and auth control is via ssh keys on its user on the server and its script there. Administration is via a git push. There are only git repos, no GUI. Git is the API.

Something like the Gitea API? https://try.gitea.io/api/swagger

I don't know if you can run it purely headless.

ssh myserver -c “git init” && git remote add origin git@myserver && git push origin HEAD.

headless git is just ssh to a sever with an associated repository, ya?

What else do you need?
