gitolite

I've setup a development/testing server where developers can push repositories to a remote repo/webserver via gitolite/git. On the repository site everything works well and developers can use the server however: Problem: I want to deploy the code to an apache documentroot (chown'd apache:apcahe and chmod'd 755). I am following these instructions and when edit my post-receive hook as describe like so: #!/bin/sh echo "deploying to DocumentRoot" GIT_WORK_TREE=/var/www/www.example.com git checkout -f however now when I run git push from my local repo I get permissions errors like: error: git

I've installed gitolite (locally for now, to experiment) and it seems to work, except that new repositories are not tracking the remote by default after a git clone. If I remember correctly, when I clone a repository from github.com, it's already able to push and pull. Here is what I tried: $ git clone git@localhost:sandbox Cloning into sandbox... warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository. $ echo "A" > README $ git add README $ git commit README -m 'test' $ git push No refs in common and none specified; doing nothing. Perhaps you should specify a branch such as 'master'. fatal:

I'm really at a loss here. I've read through quite a few examples, and tried all of them. The most basic ones work fine, but anytime I try to move to something a bit more complicated everything falls apart (even when I'm directly copying the example). Also, for the record I am on gitolite version 3 as shown by the server spam: this is gitolite@ubuntuserver running gitolite3 v3.1-2-g3eefc06 on git 1.7.9.5 All this said what I am TRYING to accomplish is (I THINK) relatively simple. I have a group of junior developers [@scrubs], and I only want them to create and commit to new branches, and be

I use my personal laptop for both work and personal projects and I would like to use my work email address for my commits at work (gitolite) and my personal email address for the rest (github). I read about the following solutions which are all either global or temporary: git config --global user.email "bob@example.com" git config user.email "bob@example.com" git commit --author "Bob <bob@example.com>" setting one of the GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL , GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL or EMAIL environment variables One solution is to run manually a shell function that sets my environment to work or personal , but I am

Step 1: Install needed packages you will need remove installed ruby because repo version is 1.8.7 and we need 1.9 at least yum remove ruby yum install wget enable epel repos wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm install required libraries yum install readline-devel libyaml-devel gdbm-devel ncurses-devel redis openssl-devel zlib-devel gcc gcc-c++ make autoconf readline-devel curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel tk-devel libxml2-devel libffi-devel libxslt-devel libicu-devel httpd httpd-devel gitolite git-all python

I'm trying to setup a git server with: http-access to be able to clone repositories like this: git clone http://mygitserver/repository have a web interface (gitweb), if possible with restrictions per user control access based on LDAP accounts So far I have gitweb up and running; when I access http://gitserver/ it asks ldap login and when I provide this; it shows all repositories (even gitolite-admin repository... not so good) When I try to clone, I get the error: fatal: http://gitserver/<reponame>.git/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository? I dug into it and I found out that the
