This is an ssh-based setup. For smart http setup click [here][http].
This is a fresh install, not a migration from the old gitolite (v1.x, v2.x).
On the server, $HOME/bin
exists and is in your $PATH
. If you don't
like that, there are [other install methods][install].
"your-name.pub" is your public key from your workstation.
The setup command does not generate any warnings.
On the server, as the hosting user (e.g., 'git'):
# get the software
git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
# install it
gitolite/install -ln
# setup the initial repos with your key
gitolite setup -pk your-name.pub
On your workstation:
# clone the admin repo so you can start adding stuff
git clone git@host:gitolite-admin.git
# Note 1: clone path must not include "repositories/"
# Note 2: it may include the ".git" at the end but it is optional
If this step succeeds, you can add [users][], [repos][], or anything else described [here][adminrepo].
If this step fails, be sure to look at the [ssh][] documentation before asking
for help. (A very basic first step is to run ssh git@host info
;
[this][info] page tells you what to expect).
