git-remote-persistent-https

The git-remote-persistent-https binary speeds up SSL operations

by running a daemon job (git-remote-persistent-https--proxy) that

keeps a connection open to a server.

PRE-BUILT BINARIES

Darwin amd64:

https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-remote-persistent-https/darwin_amd64.tar.gz

Linux amd64:

https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-remote-persistent-https/linux_amd64.tar.gz

INSTALLING

Move all of the git-remote-persistent-http* binaries to a directory

in PATH.

USAGE

HTTPS requests can be delegated to the proxy by using the

"persistent-https" scheme, e.g.

git clone persistent-https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git

Likewise, .gitconfig can be updated as follows to rewrite https urls

to use persistent-https:

[url "persistent-https"]

insteadof = https

[url "persistent-http"]

insteadof = http

# BUILDING FROM SOURCE

#####################################################################

LOCATION

The source is available in the contrib/persistent-https directory of

the Git source repository. The Git source repository is available at

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/

https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git

PREREQUISITES

The code is written in Go (http://golang.org/) and the Go compiler is

required. Currently, the compiler must be built and installed from tip

of source, in order to include a fix in the reverse http proxy:

BUILDING

Run "make" to build the binaries. See the section on

INSTALLING above.
