# adding and removing repos
|
|
|
|
**NOTE**: this page describes how to add new repos. To bring already existing
|
|
repos into gitolite control, click [here][existing].
|
|
|
|
> ----
|
|
|
|
> *WARNING: Do NOT add new repos directly on the server. Clone the
|
|
> 'gitolite-admin' repo to your workstation, make changes to it, then add,
|
|
> commit, and push. When the push hits the server, the server "acts" upon
|
|
> your changes.*
|

|
|
Just as for [users][], all operations are in a clone of the gitolite-admin
|
|
repo.
|
|
|
|
To **add** a new repo, edit `conf/gitolite.conf` and add it, along with at
|
|
least one user with some permissions. Or add it to an existing repo line:
|
|
|
|
repo gitolite tsh gitpod
|
|
RW+ = sitaram
|
|
RW dev = alice bob
|
|
R = @all
|
|
|
|
The "repo" line can have any number of repo names or repo group names in it.
|
|
However, it can only be one line; this will not work
|
|
|
|
repo foo
|
|
repo bar # WRONG; 'foo' is now forgotten
|
|
RW = alice
|
|
|
|
If you have too many, use a group name:
|
|
|
|
@myrepos = foo
|
|
@myrepos = bar
|
|
|
|
repo @myrepos
|
|
RW = alice
|
|
|
|
Finally, you add, commit, and push this change. Gitolite will create a bare,
|
|
empty, repo on the server that is ready to be cloned.
|
|
|
|
**Removing** a repo is not so straightforward. You certainly must remove the
|
|
appropriate lines from the `conf/gitolite.conf` file, but gitolite will not
|
|
automatically delete the repo from the server. You have to log on to the
|
|
server and do the dirty deed yourself :-)
|
|
|
|
It is best to make the change in the conf file, push it, and *then* go to the
|
|
server and do what you need to.
|
|
|
|
**Renaming** a repo is also not automatic. Here's what you do (and the order
|
|
is important):
|
|
|
|
* go to the server and rename the repo at the Unix command line
|
|
* change the name in the conf/gitolite.conf file and add/commit/push.
