I am setting up a continous integration (CI) system for an open source project and I want to allow forking developers to use the system, but I do not want anyone to do a clone or fetch from the CI git repo, the repo.

Any advice on limiting the https smart protocol to push only, blocking clone and fetch?

Looking at http-backend.c
   542  static struct service_cmd {
   543          const char *method;
   544          const char *pattern;
   545          void (*imp)(char *);
   546  } services[] = {
   547          {"GET", "/HEAD$", get_head},
   548          {"GET", "/info/refs$", get_info_refs},
   549          {"GET", "/objects/info/alternates$", get_text_file},
   550          {"GET", "/objects/info/http-alternates$", get_text_file},
   551          {"GET", "/objects/info/packs$", get_info_packs},
   552          {"GET", "/objects/[0-9a-f]{2}/[0-9a-f]{38}$", get_loose_object},
   553          {"GET", "/objects/pack/pack-[0-9a-f]{40}\\.pack$", get_pack_file},
   554          {"GET", "/objects/pack/pack-[0-9a-f]{40}\\.idx$", get_idx_file},
   555
   556          {"POST", "/git-upload-pack$", service_rpc},
   557          {"POST", "/git-receive-pack$", service_rpc}
   558  };


I feel I could just filter /git-receive-pack and /objects/ .

I am going to build my test system now.

Looking at http-backend.c

     19 struct rpc_service {
     20         const char *name;
     21         const char *config_name;
     22         signed enabled : 2;
     23 };
     24 
     25 static struct rpc_service rpc_service[] = {
     26         { "upload-pack", "uploadpack", 1 },
     27         { "receive-pack", "receivepack", -1 },
     28 };

So it would be natural to assume that there must be a way to
enable/disable these two services, no?

Looking at http_config() there, I would guess perhaps:

    [http]
        uploadpack = false
        getanyfile = false

but I am not sure if the latter is needed (or anybody seriously
tested it, for that matter).

Perfect! Had to add receivepack=true for the anonymous part.
