Many times, people use the git repository to host websites in productions by clone-push-pull but it has one drawback, it appears the .git directory is accessible via the web. How we can prevent this? Here there are 2 ways which are recommended given below;
- One redirects to a 404 aka to issue a 404 (w/ mod_rewrite):
- Redirect it to the domain root
| # One redirects to a 404 aka to issue a 404 (w/ mod_rewrite): | |
| # Method 1 - .htaccess sample 1 | |
| # Make .git files and directory web inaccessible | |
| <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> | |
| RewriteEngine On | |
| RewriteRule ^(.*/)?\.git+ - [R=404,L] | |
| </IfModule> | |
| # Second line of defense (if no mod_rewrite) | |
| RedirectMatch 404 ^(.*/)?\.git+ | |
| #Redirect it to the domain root | |
| # Method 2 - .htaccess sample 2 | |
| # Make .git files and directory web inaccessible | |
| # Redirect it to the domain root | |
| <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> | |
| RewriteEngine On | |
| RewriteRule "^(.*/)?\.git/" http://%{HTTP_HOST}/? [L] | |
| </IfModule> | |
| # Second line of defense (if no mod_rewrite) | |
| RedirectMatch 404 ^(.*/)?\.git+ |
