```

Create a config file according to the format below.

Run `mvn package` to build, test, and package it into a jar at `target/writelatex-git-bridge-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar`.

Use `java -jar <path_to_jar> <path_to_config_file>` to run the server.

## Runtime Configuration

The configuration file is in `.json` format.

    {
        "port" (int): the port number,
        "rootGitDirectory" (string): the directory in which to store
                                     git repos and the db/atts,
        "apiBaseUrl" (string): base url for the snapshot api,
        "username" (string, optional): username for http basic auth,
        "password" (string, optional): password for http basic auth,
        "postbackBaseUrl" (string): the postback url,
        "serviceName" (string): current name of writeLaTeX
                                in case it ever changes,
        "oauth2Server" (string): oauth2 server,
                                 with protocol and
                                 without trailing slash,
                                 null or missing if oauth2 shouldn't be used
        },
        "repoStore" (object, optional): { configure the repo store
            "maxFileSize" (long, optional): maximum size of a file, inclusive
        },
        "swapStore" (object, optional): { the place to swap projects to.
                                          if null, type defaults to
                                          "noop"
            "type" (string): "s3", "memory", "noop" (not recommended),
            "awsAccessKey" (string, optional): only for s3,
            "awsSecret" (string, optional): only for s3,
            "s3BucketName" (string, optional): only for s3
        },
        "swapJob" (object, optional): { configure the project
                                        swapping job.
                                        if null, defaults to no-op
            "minProjects" (int64): lower bound on number of projects
                                   present. The swap job will never go
                                   below this, regardless of what the
                                   watermark shows. Regardless, if
                                   minProjects prevents an eviction,
                                   the swap job will WARN,
            "lowGiB" (int32): the low watermark for swapping,
                              i.e. swap until disk usage is below this,
            "highGiB" (int32): the high watermark for swapping,
                               i.e. start swapping when
                               disk usage becomes this,
            "intervalMillis" (int64): amount of time in between running
                                      swap job and checking watermarks.
                                      3600000 is 1 hour
        }
    }

You have to restart the server for configuration changes to take effect.

## Creating OAuth app

In dev-env, run the following command in mongo to create the oauth application
for git-bridge.

```
db.oauthApplications.insert({
  "clientSecret" : "v1.G5HHTXfxsJMmfFhSar9QhJLg/u4KpGpYOdPGwoKdZXk=",
  "grants" : [
    "password"
  ],
  "id" : "264c723c925c13590880751f861f13084934030c13b4452901e73bdfab226edc",
  "name" : "Overleaf Git Bridge",
  "redirectUris" : [],
  "scopes" : [
    "git_bridge"
  ]
})
```
