<h2>Using Shithub</h2>

Creating a repository:

<pre>
	rcpu -h shithub.us \
		-c newrepo -d 'description' \
		-c 'contact@me.com' repo
	git/push -u hjgit://shithub.us/$user/repo
</pre>

<p>Your repositories live under</p>

<pre>
	/usr/git/$user
</pre>

<p>A repo contains a few control files for the web
interface. All of them live under the repository,
in /usr/git/$user/$repo/.git/$file. These are the
control files that are currently supported:</p>

<p>
<dl>
<dt><code>webpublish</code></dt>
<dd>If this file exists, then the repository is
published in the public web list of repositories.
</dd>
<dt><code>desc, description</code></dt>
<dd>The short description of the repository. It shows
up in the repo list.</dd>
<dt><code>contact</code></dt>
<dd>Contact information for submitting patches.
Shows up on the repository info page.</dd>
<dt><code>README</code></dt>
<dd>A readme file, shown in the info page of the
repository. If this file is not present, then a
README from within the repository will be used,
and if neither exist, then the description will
be used.</dd>
</dl>
</p>

<p>You can cd into there create the repository,
and flag them as web-visible by hand, or you can
use the <code>newrepo</code>
script, which is a small wrapper around <code>
git/init</code> that creates the control files:</p>

<pre>
	newrepo [-d description] [-c contact] reponame
</pre>

<p>
README files in the repo will be rendered,
but if you don't want to clutter root of your
repository with junk, you can also add
README files here:
</p>

<pre>
	/usr/git/$user/$repo/.git/README
</pre>

<h2>Unix and Shithub</h2>

<p>Shithub is hosted on 9front, and uses dp9ik
authentication for pushing code. In order to
push from Unix, you'll need a git remote helper
that allows pushing <code>hjgit://</code> urls</p>

<p>One is available 
<a href=http://shithub.us/moody/tlsclient/HEAD/info.html>here</a>.
</p>

<p>Repositories can be created as above, using 9cpu
in place of cpu.</p>
