# administering and running gitolite
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### administer
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* ask each user who will get access to send you a public key. See other
|
||
|
|
sources (for example
|
||
|
|
[here](http: /sitaramc.github.com/0-installing/2-access-gitolite.html#generating_a_public_key))
|
||
|
|
for how to do this
|
||
|
|
* for each "user" in `$GL_CONF`, copy their public key to a file called
|
||
|
|
"user.pub" in `$GL_KEYDIR`. For example, mine would be called
|
||
|
|
"sitaram.pub"
|
||
|
|
* edit the config file (`$GL_CONF`) to add the new users in whatever way you
|
||
|
|
like
|
||
|
|
* backup your `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` file if you feel nervous :-)
|
||
|
|
* cd to `$GL_ADMINDIR` and run `src/gl-compile-conf`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That should be it, really. However, if you want to be doubly sure, or maybe
|
||
|
|
the first couple of times you use it, you may want to check these:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* check the outputs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` should contain one line for each "user" pub
|
||
|
|
key added, between two "marker" lines (which you should please please
|
||
|
|
not remove!). The line should contain a "command=" pointing to a
|
||
|
|
`$GL_ADMINDIR/src/gl-auth-command` file, then some sshd restrictions, the
|
||
|
|
key, etc.
|
||
|
|
* `$GL_CONF_COMPILED` (default
|
||
|
|
`~/.gitolite/conf/gitolite.conf-compiled.pm`) should contain an
|
||
|
|
expanded list of the access control rules. It may look a little long,
|
||
|
|
but it's fairly intuitive!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* if the run threw up any "initialising empty repo" messages, check the
|
||
|
|
individual repos (inside `$REPO_BASE`) if you wish. Especially make sure
|
||
|
|
the `$REPO_BASE/[reponame].git/hooks/update` got copied OK and is
|
||
|
|
executable
