# quick install, setup, and clone
|
|
|
|
## ASSUMPTIONS
|
|
|
|
* This is an ssh-based setup. For smart http setup click [here][http].
|
|
|
|
* This is a fresh install, not a migration from the old gitolite (v1.x,
|
|
v2.x).
|
|
|
|
* On the server, `$HOME/bin` exists and is in your `$PATH`. If you don't
|
|
like that, there are [other install methods][install].
|
|
|
|
* "your-name.pub" is your public key from your workstation.
|
|
* Also, this key does not already have shell access to this gitolite
|
|
hosting user.
|
|
|
|
* The setup command does not generate any warnings.
|
|
* If it does, please see [common errors][ce] and fix things before
|
|
continuing, or read the more complete [setup][] page.
|
|
|
|
## instructions
|
|
|
|
On the server, as the hosting user (e.g., 'git'):
|
|
|
|
# get the software
|
|
git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
|
|
|
|
# install it
|
|
gitolite/install -ln
|
|
|
|
# setup the initial repos with your key
|
|
gitolite setup -pk your-name.pub
|
|
|
|
On your workstation:
|
|
|
|
# clone the admin repo so you can start adding stuff
|
|
git clone git@host:gitolite-admin.git
|
|
# Note 1: clone path must not include "repositories/"
|
|
# Note 2: it may include the ".git" at the end but it is optional
|
|
|
|
## next steps
|
|
|
|
If this step succeeds, you can add [users][], [repos][], or anything else
|
|
described [here][adminrepo].
|
|
|
|
If this step fails, be sure to look at the [ssh][] documentation before asking
|
|
for help. (A very basic first step is to run `ssh git@host info`;
|
|
[this][info] page tells you what to expect).
