Git Control

As its name implies, git-control is a git-based c&c system.

Installation

• create a private repository using this repository as a template
• clone the repository onto the machine you want to control
• run ./join script that will create git-control ssh user, install gc hooks and create hosts/<hostname> branch for the host
• push all changes back to your private repository (git push --all origin)
• repeat previous 2 steps for each machine you want to control
• clone the private repo at your control machine

Host changes

Each joined host creates a corresponding host branch using hosts/<hostname> as template for the branch name. The ./deploy script in the branch can be used to automatically detect accessible to the command machine ip-address of the controlled host, which then is used to push configuration changes directly to that ip via ssh.
