# example conf file for gitolite
2009-08-23 07:59:07 +02:00
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# overall syntax:
# - everything is space-separated; no commas, semicolons, etc (except in
# the description string for gitweb)
# - comments in the normal shell-ish style; no surprises there
# - there are NO continuation lines of any kind
# - user/repo names as simple as possible
# (usernames: only alphanumerics, ".", "_", "-";
# reponames: same, plus "/", but not at the start)

# objectives, over and above gitosis:
# - simpler syntax
# - easier gitweb/daemon control
# - specify who can push a branch/tag
# - specify who can rewind a branch/rewrite a tag
2009-08-23 07:59:07 +02:00
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# GROUPS
# ------
# syntax:
# @groupname = [one or more names]
# groups let you club names together for convenience in specifying
# permissions. A group is simply expanded to whatever names are on the right
# hand side when it is actually used
# you can have a group of people...
@staff = sitaram some_dev another-dev
# ...or a group of repos
@oss_repos = gitolite linux git perl rakudo entrans vkc
# even sliced and diced differently
@admins = sitaram admin2
# notice that sitaram is in 2 groups (staff and admins)
# if you repeat a group name in another definition line, the
# new ones get added to the old ones (they accumulate)
@staff = au.thor
# so now "@staff" expands to all 4 names
2009-08-23 07:59:07 +02:00
# groups can include other groups (but not recursively)
@interns = indy james
@staff = bob @interns
# "@staff" expands to 7 names now
# REPO AND BRANCH PERMISSIONS
# ---------------------------
# syntax:
# start line:
# repo [one or more repos and/or repo groups]
# followed by one or more permissions lines:
# (R|RW|RW+) [zero or more refexes] = [one or more users]
# there are 3 types of permissions: R, RW, and RW+. The "+" means permission
# to "rewind" (force push a non-fast forward to) a branch
# how permissions are matched:
# - user, repo, and access (W or +) are known. For that combination, if
# any of the refexes match the refname being updated, the push succeeds.
# If none of them match, it fails
# what's a refex? a regex to match against the ref being updated (get it?)
# BASIC PERMISSIONS (repo level only; apply to all branches/tags in repo)
2009-08-23 07:59:07 +02:00
# most important rule of all -- specify who can make changes
# to *this* file take effect
repo gitolite-admin
RW+ = @admins
# "@all" is a special, predefined, group name
repo testing
RW+ = @all
# this repo is visible to staff but only sitaram can write to it
repo gitolite
R = @staff
RW+ = sitaram
# you can split up access rules for a repo as convenient
# (notice that @oss_repos contains gitolite also)
repo @oss_repos
R = @all
# ADVANCED PERMISSIONS USING REFEXES
2009-09-16 16:22:03 +02:00
# - refexes are specified in perl regex syntax
# - if no refex appears, the rule applies to all refs in that repo
# - a refex is automatically prefixed by "refs/heads/" if it doesn't start
# with "refs/" (so tags have to be explicitly named as
# refs/tags/pattern)
2009-08-23 07:59:07 +02:00
# here's the example from
# Documentation/howto/update-hook-example.txt:
2009-08-23 07:59:07 +02:00
# refs/heads/master junio
# +refs/heads/pu junio
# refs/heads/cogito$ pasky
# refs/heads/bw/.* linus
# refs/heads/tmp/.* .*
# refs/tags/v[0-9].* junio
2009-09-16 16:22:03 +02:00
# and here're the equivalent gitolite refexes
repo git
RW master = junio
RW+ pu = junio
RW cogito$ = pasky
RW bw/ = linus
RW tmp/ = @all
RW refs/tags/v[0-9] = junio

# GITWEB AND DAEMON STUFF
# -----------------------
2009-08-23 07:59:07 +02:00
# No specific syntax for gitweb and daemon access; just make the repo readable
# ("R" access) to the special users "gitweb" and "daemon"
# make "@oss_repos" (all 7 of them!) accessible via git daemon
repo @oss_repos
R = daemon
2009-08-23 07:59:07 +02:00
# make the two *large* repos accessible via gitweb
repo linux perl
R = gitweb
# GITWEB DESCRIPTION LINE
2009-08-23 07:59:07 +02:00
# syntax:
# reponame = "some description string in double quotes"
# note: setting a description also gives gitweb access; you do not have to
# give gitweb access as described above if you're specifying a description
gitolite = "fast, secure, access control for git in a corporate environment"
