I taught a bucket to speak git | Tigris Object Storage

▤ Summary

This piece introduces objgit, a Git server that runs directly on Tigris object storage with no local disk and no dependency on the Git binary. The author explains how Git’s filesystem-like storage model maps unusually well to object storage and how Tigris features like RenameObject help make it work. The article also covers several performance fixes, including packfile handling, caching, and reducing expensive object-storage calls during pushes and clones. It closes by describing experimental post-receive hooks and future plans for CI and a web UI. The overall message is that Git hosting can run as a stateless object-storage-backed service if the storage layer behaves enough like a filesystem.
