I am trying to setup gitolite on my server (Macos server).
I followed the instructions in the INSTALL document found here : http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/doc/1
To pile on, as a solution for Gitolite v3, for Mac Lion, this is what worked for me:
$ENV{PATH}="/usr/local/bin:$ENV{PATH}";
Add it to ~/.gitolite.rc for the git user on the server. Make sure it is before the "1;" at the end.
As detailed in: https://serverfault.com/questions/307493/cant-clone-gitolite-admin
The solutions involving GIT_PATH are outdated, according to: http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/g2migr.html
