- (FIX #1: REWINDING BAD ADMIN COMMITS) if your last commit(s) to the
gitolite-admin repo pushed a very bad config and you want to rewind it
to a known good state, run this:
./gl-dont-panic rewind
$0 rewind
(this doesn't actually rewind; it creates a new commit that has
the same state as the last good commit, which has the same effect)
- (FIX #2: PUSHING A NEW ADMIN KEY) if you lost your admin key, run this
with the new pubkey:
./gl-dont-panic sitaram.pub
- (FIX #2: PUSHING A NEW ADMIN KEY) if you lost your admin key, or you
had used the wrong key initially, then you get yourself a new keypair
and run this with the new pubkey:
$0 sitaram.pub # example using my name
Please note that this simply *replaces* the key for user "sitaram".
It does NOT add a new admin called "sitaram". In fact it does not
touch the config file (access rules) at all.
