Howdy,

I got bored over the weekend and wrote a simple Git remote helper for the gemini protocol. I published it on github for now: https://github.com/dhuseby/git-remote-gemini.git  Once you have it built and installed in your PATH somewhere, you'll then be able to clone it from the its actual location here: gemini://vi.rs/git-remote-gemini.git

I did a short terminal capture of me cloning a repo over gemini: https://asciinema.org/a/y2QxPEbgHsiGh4Go1AuHTLT0D

To make this work, I had to hack up Pollux to respond to simple queries and run the appropriate Git commands on the server. The details are in the README.gemini file in the repo.

Cheers!Dave
