Git Repository
  • piclez
    Hi,

    How can I create a git repository (Ubuntu) and use for my projects with a few users?

    Thanks,

    Peter.

    The how-to at kernel.org describes how to do it over http, is really good and is easy to follow (even includes special Debian instructions): http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt

    If you prefer SSH, there's this (slightly glib) how-to that I dug up while attempting to troubleshoot an https-related problem I was having: http://blog.commonthread.com/2008/4/14/setting-up-a-git-server

    HTH,
    TOC

    PS: the second link probably bears a lot of resemblance to how they do it over at github.com (based on github's online documentation).

    I use Apache to serve my Git repos over HTTP via mod_dav. To automate the process of setting up a new repo I wrote this bash script:

    #!/bin/sh

if [ -z $1 ]; then
    echo 'Argument required.'
    exit 1
fi

REPO_ROOT=/home/demo/git
REPO=$REPO_ROOT/$1.git

mkdir $REPO
cd $REPO
git --bare init --shared=group
git --bare update-server-info
sudo chown -R demo:www-data $REPO
sudo chmod -R ug+rw $REPO

echo Done.

    Hope that helps in some way.

    I run gitosis on my ubuntu slice, since it uses ssh keys it makes it much more secure. it was very easy to do.
