Setting up ---------- Setting up gitolite after rpm-install can be done as follows. On the server: 1) Copy your public key to some easily accessible location, say /tmp/yourname.pub 2) run "su - gitolite" to get a login shell on the gitolite user 3) run "gl-setup /tmp/yourname.pub" On whatever machine your key came from (maybe your workstation or another account on the same server): 4) run "git clone gitolite@<name.or.ip>:gitolite-admin" to start adding users and repos. Quick Notes for admin operations -------------------------------- To administer gitolite, make changes to the config file (conf/gitolite.conf) and/or the pubkeys (in subdirectory 'keydir') in any clone, then git add, git commit, and git push. ADDING REPOS: Do NOT add repos manually on the server. Edit the config file to give *some* user access to the repo. When you push, an empty repo will be created on the server. ADDING USERS: copy their pubkey as keydir/<username>.pub, add it, commit and push. CONFIG FILE FORMAT: see comments in conf/example.conf in the gitolite source.
