description

a bash script which automates creation of a local git repository, modifies gitolite.conf file as needed, and then syncs the repo with an online gitolite (and github) server
you must have repos defined the way in attached gitolite.conf file

---

usage:

runs the script with no github support, repo name is auto-detected via directory name the script is under, and repo is added to default macro (line: 20 for init-gitolite.sh)

./init-gitolite.sh

runs the script with no github support, repo name is auto-detected via directory name the script is run under

./init-gitolite.sh -pw

runs the script with no github support, repo name is provided at command-prompt

./init-gitolite.sh -pr repo_name

runs the script with github support, a repo_name must be provided, which matches github repo name

./init-gitolite.sh -cw repo_name github

---

notes

a remote repo with name: gitolite is added to the local repo.
if github is referenced, a remote repo with name: github is also added to the local repo.
