gget

gget - git-dumper sandbox

Creates a Docker Python image that installs git-dumper and then runs a container with git-dumper -u url -o outputDirectory

Why?

If the repository you are downloading is controlled by an attacker, this could lead to remote code execution on your machine. So this creates a sandboxed environment for safe use

prerequisites

• Docker Daemon CLI

How to use

$ go run main.go -u http://example.com/.git -o output/dir

OR build the program

Notes on building

The build does embed a Tarfile into the program so any changes to the Dockerfile you should run

$ tar -cvf Dockerfile.tar Dockerfile

This is because the docker SDK expects a tarfile because just using a regular Dockerfile you get an EOF error
