	RepoOwner string // Owner's username for requested repo
	RepoName  string // Requested repo name
	Username string // Username from git-credentials

	"github.com/ijsnow/gittp"
)

const (
  myGitUsername = "isaac"
  myGitPassord = "supersecret"
)

func check(r gittp.RequestInfo) (bool, int) {
  if r.Username == "im-definitely-not-a-hacker" {
    return false, http.StatusUnauthorized
  }

  if r.RepoName != r.Username {
    return false, http.StatusNotFound
  }

  if r.Username != myGitUsername || r.Password != myGitPassord {
    return false, http.StatusNotFound
  }

  return true, 0
}

func main() {
  usr, err := user.Current()
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
  repoDir := fmt.Sprintf("%s/my/git/repos", usr.HomeDir)

  githandler := gittp.NewHandler(repoDir, check)

  http.ListenAndServe(":3000", githandler)
}

Special thanks

Thanks to those who built gogs for creating a great project and open sourcing for many others to use freely. This code is a modified version of the module that serves git over http in the gogs project.
