adding users and repos

Do NOT add 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.

Full documentation on the conf file is [here][conf].

Here's a sample sequence, on your workstation, after your install is done

git clone git@host:gitolite-admin
cd gitolite-admin
vi conf/gitolite.conf

# now add lines like these:
    repo foo
        RW+ =   me
        RW  =   alice
        R   =   wally
# now save the file and add it
git add conf

# add a couple of users; get their pubkeys by email or something, then:
cp /some/where/alice.pub keydir
cp /else/where/wally.pub keydir
git add keydir

# now commit and push
git commit -m 'added repo foo'
git push

# at this point gitolite will create the new repo 'foo' (if it did not
# already exist) then update the authorized keys file to include alice and
# wally's pubkeys
