Existing code

We are using a number of existing, open source pieces of software. A list of them are below and what they are being used for:

Bootstrap

Bootstrap is from Twitter and allows for easier UI creation.

Makes writing bootstrap html easier within CakePHP

We should probably use one of these for managing Git, unless we want to do it ourself. They both manage the access rights and ssh keys for users

Framework for the application

Contains methods for interacting with git from PHP. Uses proc_open rather than exec as an added bonus

Simple as (for example):

App::import("Vendor", "Git", array("file"=>"Git/Git.php"));

$repo = Git::open('/git/repo/path/');
var_dump($repo->run('status'));
