1 git-remote-persistent-https
3 The git-remote-persistent-https binary speeds up SSL operations
4 by running a daemon job (git-remote-persistent-https--proxy) that
5 keeps a connection open to a server.
8 PRE-BUILT BINARIES
10 Darwin amd64:
11 https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-remote-persistent-https/darwin_amd64.tar.gz
13 Linux amd64:
14 https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-remote-persistent-https/linux_amd64.tar.gz
17 INSTALLING
19 Move all of the git-remote-persistent-http* binaries to a directory
20 in PATH.
23 USAGE
25 HTTPS requests can be delegated to the proxy by using the
26 "persistent-https" scheme, e.g.
28 git clone persistent-https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
30 Likewise, .gitconfig can be updated as follows to rewrite https urls
31 to use persistent-https:
33 [url "persistent-https"]
34         insteadof = https
35 [url "persistent-http"]
36         insteadof = http

43 LOCATION
45 The source is available in the contrib/persistent-https directory of
46 the Git source repository. The Git source repository is available at
47 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/
48 https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/git/git
51 PREREQUISITES
53 The code is written in Go (http://golang.org/) and the Go compiler is
54 required. Currently, the compiler must be built and installed from tip
55 of source, in order to include a fix in the reverse http proxy:

59 BUILDING
61 Run "make" to build the binaries. See the section on
62 INSTALLING above.
