I need to prepare a repo for access from an HTTP server.

To do seem it seems I need to run git update-server-info on the repo which updates some files that make it accessible over a dumb HTTP server.

I am using Pygit2 / Libgit2 to create the repo. Does libgit2 allow me to do a update-server-info or do I need to somehow execute the command line git to do so?

I have searched extensively so if it is available then I'm looking in the wrong places to find how.

libgit2 does not offer any support for the dumb HTTP protocol, but since this is the server, it wouldn't help much it implemented update-server-info.

In order to support the dumb protocol you need to make git update-server-info run after every push into the server's repo via one of the hooks which git provides, so you need to be using git for this anyway.
