Ouch! How mortifying :) I'd always thought this was one of the Brit/US differences, but to find out that it really *isn't* a word... hmph! Anyway, in the interest of not breaking existing wild repos, the ownership file is still called "gl-creater". Everything else has been changed. (...thanks to Sverre)

# output of the "info" and "expand" commands
|
|
|
|
Running "ssh git@server info" or "ssh git@server expand" gives you certain
|
|
output. This doclet describes the output; you're welcome to help me make it
|
|
clearer :)
|
|
|
|
There are 3 columns of permissions (create, read, and write) in the output,
|
|
although the first column is often blank.
|
|
|
|
Here is the output of the 2 commands (info and expand):
|
|
|
|
### the "info" command
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
ssh git@server info
|
|
ssh git@server info [list of users]
|
|
|
|
The "info" command shows you all the repos (and repo patterns) in the config
|
|
file that you have been given any kind of access to. If you're an admin you
|
|
can append a list of users to see their permissions instead of your own.
|
|
(Side note: if you installed using easy-install that would probably be `ssh
|
|
gitolite info`, by the way).
|
|
|
|
The meaning of C, R, and W are self-explanatory, but they might sometimes be
|
|
prefixed by a symbol. For example, `@R` means that `@all` users have
|
|
beengiven this access, and `#R` means that this user is a "superuser" (think
|
|
root's shell prompt) and so has access to `@all` repos.
|
|
|
|
### the "expand" command
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
|
|
ssh git@server expand [optional pattern]
|
|
|
|
The "expand" command trawls through all the repositories on the server,
|
|
limiting to repos matching the pattern you provide (default is all repos
|
|
found).
|
|
|
|
For each repo found, it searches for it in the config -- either the actual
|
|
repo entry (when the repo is not a wildcard repo), or an entry for the
|
|
wildcard that matches it -- and reports permissions. It also takes into
|
|
account extra permissions enabled by the `setperms` command (see
|
|
doc/4-wildcard-repositories.mkd). It shows you the "creator" of the repo as
|
|
an additional column, defaulting to `<gitolite>` if it was not a wildcard
|
|
repo.
