# Gitolite README

**Github users: please read the "wiki" link at the top of the page before
submitting issues or pull requests**.

If you're really impatient, and you're familiar with Unix and ssh, follow the
[quick install](http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/index.html#qi)
instructions.

But if you want to do anything meaningful with gitolite you have to spend some
time cuddling up to the docs.  **The complete online documentation starts
[here](http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite)** -- this is the best starting
point for general questions about git, such as what it is, why you would need
it, features, contact/mailing list info, and so on.

For convenience, here is a link to the [master table of
contents](http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/master-toc.html), which is very
useful to search using your browser's search function.
MASSIVE set of changes to documents! I got tired of being told "TL;DR". Now the online versions of most documents fit on a page or two, or at least most of them do. The rest has been split out (and you can see the links to the split out sections right where the text is in the raw Markdown). This is much more pleasant to read, and I've improved the linking so it's much less effort for me to keep the links correct. 2011-11-01 06:03:20 +01:00			`# Gitolite README`

more doc revamp; some notes below - all anchors prefixed by AUTO_ now - some bad links fixed (maybe still a few I didn't catch) - misc wording changes/additions (support section to README, "technical skills" section to install doc, etc). 2010-09-02 15:45:32 +02:00
