minimum requirements for gitolite
Client:
- git 1.6.6 or greater
- an ssh client that can talk to an openssh server, and can generate keys in openssh's default format (the pubkey is just one long line). Gitolite will [not currently][pw1] convert such keys.
For people still using Windows, msysgit works fine. If you're using [putty/plink][ens], God bless you. (It'll work, but I still want him to bless you).
TODO: when smart http support works, ssh will no longer be a requirement, merely a strong suggestion :-)
Server
- git 1.6.6 or greater
- perl 5.8.8 or greater
- an ssh server compatible with openssh, especially it's authorized keys file format and features.
- any Unix or Unix like OS. That said, I've occasionally had some weird reports from [Mac OSX servers][ens]; good luck.
- a single, dedicated, userid to host it (usually 'git' or 'gitolite').
These version numbers are subject to fine-tuning as I get feedback and make fixes where possible and needed.
Sshd must be configured so that each users authkeys file is in the user's
$HOME, inside .ssh/authorized_keys, and not in some central
/var/something.
