## #existing moving existing repos into gitolite
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* move the repos to `$HOME/repositories`. Make sure they are all *bare*
|
||
|
|
repos, and the directory names end in ".git".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* [add them][repos] to conf/gitolite.conf in your clone of the admin repo,
|
||
|
|
then commit and push the change.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the repos are already covered by some [wild][] pattern, this is
|
||
|
|
optional.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* run `gitolite setup` to fix up the hooks on all repos, just in case.

## #moving moving servers
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is adapted from the "migrating" section of the [install][] page; if
|
||
|
|
you're actually *migrating* from g2 please go there!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nothing in any of the gitolite install/setup/etc will ever touch the *data* in
|
||
|
|
any repository except the gitolite-admin repo. The only thing it will
|
||
|
|
normally touch is the `update` hook. So one fool-proof way of "moving"
|
||
|
|
servers is this (untested but should work; feedback appreciated):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Install gitolite on the new server, using the same key for the admin as
|
||
|
|
for the old server.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Copy the [rc][] file from the old server, overwriting this one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. [Disable][writable] the old server so people won't push to it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
4. Copy all the repos over from the old server, including gitolite-admin.
|
||
|
|
Make sure the files end up with right ownership and permissions; if not,
|
||
|
|
chown/chmod them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
5. On a clone of the old gitolite-admin, add a new remote (or change an
|
||
|
|
existing one) to point to the new server. Then `git push -f` to this
|
||
|
|
remote.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
6. On the server, run `gitolite setup`.
