# getting started

The quickest install, assuming your `$PATH` contains `$HOME/bin`, is:

  * get the software

        git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite

        # (until this becomes "master")
        cd gitolite
        git checkout -f g3

  * install it

        ln -sf $PWD/src/gitolite $HOME/bin

If you don't like that, there are [other install methods][install].

Once the install is done, setup:

    gitolite setup -pk your-name.pub

And that's it.

Next steps are usually [adding][add] users and repos and learning about
[access control][conf].
