Introduction to Gitosis

gitosis aims to make hosting git repos easier and safer. It manages multiple repositories under one user account, using SSH keys to identify users. End users do not need shell accounts on the server, they will talk to one shared account that will not let them run arbitrary commands.

Project Homepage: Unknown

Getting the Source

Make sure that you have GIT installed and working then execute the following command:

git clone git://eagain.net/gitosis.git

You may wish to create a tarball of the checked out code for future reference.

tar cvjf gitosis-$(date '+%Y%m%d').tar.bz2 gitosis

Dependencies

Required

Recommended

  • Sudo (For Configuration, su can be used instead)

Git User/Group

groupadd -g 55 git &&
useradd -c 'GIT User' -d /home/git -g git -s /bin/false -u 55 git &&
install -o git -g git -d git

Non-Multilib

Install the package

python setup.py install

Multilib

32Bit

USE_ARCH=n32 python setup.py install

64Bit

Install the package

USE_ARCH=64 python setup.py install

Configuring Gitosis

If you do not already have a ssh key for your user generate one now with:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

Two files will be generated in your ~/.ssh directory, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. Copy id_rsa.pub to the machine with the Gitosis install. Any directory that the git user has access too works. Then execute the following command:

sudo -H -u git gitosis-init < /path/to/id_rsa.pub

Note: -H makes sudo switch the user's home directory. -u git says to switch to the git user.

The previous command authorized that public key to the Gitosis repository.

On the machine with the Gitosis install make sure that the post-update hook is executeable in the Gitosis repository:

chmod 755 /home/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hooks/post-update

From the machine that you created the ssh key on, create a clone of the gitosis repository:

git clone git@[YOUR_SERVER_HOSTNAME]:gitosis-admin.git
cd gitosis-admin
