Setting up gitolite (hn)

gitolite_hn.bash

# Assuming Ubuntu 10.04 with git already installed.
#
# Make sure to secure your server: http://www.andrewault.net/2010/05/17/securing-an-ubuntu-server/

# These instructions are based on:
# http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/doc/1-INSTALL.html:

# First, get you id_rsa.pub onto the server as /tmp/YourName.pub
scp ~/ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]:/tmp/

# Then, as root:

cd $HOME

git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite gitolite-source
cd gitolite-source
git branch # "pu" should be the selected branch. if not: "git checkout -t origin/pu"
mkdir -p /usr/local/share/gitolite/conf /usr/local/share/gitolite/hooks
src/gl-system-install /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/gitolite/conf /usr/local/share/gitolite/hooks
su git

# If you see "Unknown id: git"...
adduser git # (password doesn't matter - use a strong, random password)
# Now..
su git

which gl-setup # should yield "/usr/local/bin/gl-setup"
gl-setup /tmp/YourName.pub # vim will open, type ":wq" and press enter to continue
# Note that if you want multiple ssh keys for yourself, use [email protected] and [email protected], etc.

# Now, on your local computer in a convenient place run:
git clone [email protected]:gitolite-admin
