owner=some_owner
repo=some_repo

using tor-hidden git remotes

clone a git repo from a tor-hidden remote:

remote=darktea
owner=some_owner
repo=some_repo
url=http://it7otdanqu7ktntxzm427cba6i53w6wlanlh23v5i3siqmos47pzhvyd.onion/$owner/$repo

git -c remote.origin.proxy=socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 clone $url
cd $repo
git remote rename origin $remote
git config --add remote.$remote.proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050

add a tor-hidden remote to an existing git repo:

remote=darktea
owner=some_owner
repo=some_repo
url=http://it7otdanqu7ktntxzm427cba6i53w6wlanlh23v5i3siqmos47pzhvyd.onion/$owner/$repo

git remote add $remote $url
git config --add remote.$remote.proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050

now git pull and git fetch and git push will use the tor socks5 proxy at 127.0.0.1:9050

remote=darktea

git pull $remote
git fetch $remote
git push $remote

the tor socks5 proxy at 127.0.0.1:9050 is started by sudo systemctl start tor on linux or tor.exe --service start on windows (youre an idiot if you still use windows, but well... addicts gonna addict)

example

cd $(mktemp -d)

remote=darktea
owner=milahu
repo=darknet-git-hosting-services
url=http://it7otdanqu7ktntxzm427cba6i53w6wlanlh23v5i3siqmos47pzhvyd.onion/$owner/$repo

git -c remote.origin.proxy=socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 clone $url
cd $repo
git remote rename origin $remote
git config --add remote.$remote.proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050

git authentication

to $HOME/.gitconfig add this section:

[credential]
  # store all entered logins in $HOME/.git-credentials
  helper = store

now git will ask for username and password only on your first access to a remote and store the login data in $HOME/.git-credentials for future use

based on forgejo

• forgejo is a FOSS fork of gitea
• https://forgejo.org/faq/
  • Why was Forgejo created?
    • In October 2022 the domains and trademark of Gitea were transferred to a for-profit company without knowledge or approval of the community. Despite writing an open letter, the takeover was later confirmed. Forgejo was created as an alternative providing a software forge whose governance further the interest of the general public.
    • Forgejo was initially presented as a “soft-fork” of Gitea, similar to LineageOS, a community led distribution based on Android from Google. It is however better described as a product built on top of Gitea, Git and hundreds of other Free Software projects. Forgejo also has its own documentation, infrastructure, release pipeline, CI infrastructure, distribution channels etc.
