git-daemon

# conf.d file for git-daemon
#
# Please check man 1 git-daemon for more information about the options
# git-daemon accepts. You MUST edit this to include your repositories you wish
# to serve.
#
# Some of the meaningful options are:
#   --syslog      --- Enables syslog logging
#   --verbose     --- Enables verbose logging
#   --export-all  --- Exports all repositories
#   --port=XXXX   --- Starts in port XXXX instead of 9418
#
GITDAEMON_OPTS="--syslog --base-path=/var/git"

# To run an anonymous git safely, the following user should be able to only
# read your Git repositories. It should not be able to write to anywhere on
# your system, esp. not the repositories.

@jankal What command did you run?

@jankal It should be [email protected] with the at-sign attached. I think that might be the issue. Also, it's the socket that needs to be enabled and started for Git, not the service.
