git-http-mock-server

A lightweight HTTP/SSH mock server for testing Git clone and push operations against test fixture repositories. Version 2.0.0 (June 2020) adds full Git Protocol Version 2 support. Designed specifically for test suites, it uses copy-on-write to prevent persistent changes to repos and supports parallel test execution. Unlike git-http-server, it includes built-in CORS headers for browser tests with isomorphic-git, HTTP Basic Auth for 401 testing, and Git hooks. The SSH variant (git-ssh-mock-server) supports anonymous, password, and public key authentication. Released under MIT license with moderate maintenance activity.
