git was designed to be used in a decentralized context, that is why it suited to be used through tor.
This guide does not replace or provide guidelines on the safe usage of tor and only focuses on the work with git.
Notes:
- 1st: git-daemon+tor general usecase scenario.
- 2nd: gentoo specific: overlay, teamwork+alone.
- 3rd: server specific: adding webinterface, if needed
