 =============
 
-TODO: anonymous access (``git daemon``); git over ssh; gitolite;
+The simplest way to publish a repository or a group of repositories is
+``git daemon``. The daemon provides anonymous access, by default it is
+read-only. The repositories are accessible by git protocol (git://
+URLs). Write access can be enabled but the protocol lacks any
+authentication means, so it should be enabled only within a trusted
+LAN. See ``git help daemon`` for details.
