I probably end up re-inventing parts of the github REST API for my own repo server. But maybe there is some server script to do that already out there? Or maybe you have other suggestions?
This is my use case:
I am developing a Firefox Extension, that shall display the data of a
git log -- <path>
I always could write a little server script that implements the well developed JGit and does the "git log" command there. But then, the FF extension depends on that server script ;(
I was wondering, if there exists something like the github REST API for "not-github"-repos that would be more standard as my little server script?
I also thought about a Git JS Client, like Git.JS (apparently the only JS Client; workes with node.js; Unfortunatly the project is no more active and has no documentation.) . However, I don't need a full client. I just want to retrieve some information Read Only from the remote master repo.

Using GitHub REST APIs GitHub REST APIs allow users to communicate with GitHub and extract the desired information effectively by using an authenticated access token. With GitHub REST APIs, you can easily create and manage repositories, issues, branches, and more, with only a few lines of code.
On GitHub, you can see the commit history of a repository by: Navigating directly to the commits page of a repository. Clicking on a file, then clicking History, to get to the commit history for a specific file.
Log in to your GitHub account and click on Settings under your profile. Go to Developer Settings ->Personal Access Tokens. Generate a new token. Add a name and select the scope for the API access and click on Create Token.
Although I am late to the party I have noticed a few a might contribute to the answer.
