Add Git Interface

[philipsahli]

Until now code is read and synced to Dropbox App Directories.

Advantage:

• Dev can write code on almost any device
• the code can be synced back to Dropbox, when changed on UI

Disadvantage:

• slow sync mechanism
• current implementation does not scale
• no habital versioning mechanism for Dev

The idea is now, that a Dev can push the code to Tumbo by a simple

git add remote ...
git push

or by specifing a URL pointing to a Git Repo.

To reduce the complexity on the backend implementation, we deactivate in this scenario edit mode on the web UI. Later on it might be added (changes can be put to a new branch).

Requirements

• Implementation must support private Repo.

Implementation options

Provide Git Server

Add git to the flask

Read from Remote Git Server

• Receive Webhook Call (https://developer.github.com/webhooks/)
• Put message to RabbitMq Queue
• Background task grabs the message
• Git clone
• Check diff between last known Commit and HEAD
• Update files in Database
• Done

Now a Base needs to be able

• to configure as "Git Base" and to provide the Git Remote URL
• display the current state (up to date, updating, done)
