create git repositories and include project info for cgit

README.md

README

• This script will generate a bare git repo in your current user's ${HOME} directory
• it will query you for relevant info that the frontend (cgit) will use and dispay to users
• it will make an initial README.md commit to the repository
• this is intended to be used with this project https://github.com/dweinstein/minimal-cgi-server-for-cgit
  • basically this hosts cgit (http://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/) from a minimal python http server so you don't have to go setup lighthttp or apache.

Usage

• $ mkgitproj.sh myproject

mkgitproj.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

  echo "usage: $(basename $0) <project name>"
  exit 1
