Gitolite SSH URL Format

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – So I got gitolite set up. Simple. But there is one issue I am having. The SSH urls follow the format of git@host:repo. I'm used to Bitbucket / Github where the urls follow the format of git@host:user/repo. Is there a way to get the latter format using gitolite? Another question. I have my ~/.ssh/config file set up with the following entry: Host <host> User <user> IdentityFile <path/to/public/key> I don't have any configuration specifying git as a user, and yet I am able to clone git@host:repo without problem. Obviously, my ssh client is using my public key to access the s (HowTos)

Let's say there are two keys A and B, both of which are valid for user@host public key authentication. Since authorized_keys is configured for different behaviour depending on the key, ~/.ssh/config on the client uses something like

Host A.host HostName host User user IdentityFile ~/.ssh/A Host B.host HostName host User user IdentityFile ~/.ssh/B

That works fine.

I was able to run the following command:

git clone admin@ip address:gitolite-admin.git

When I tried adding a new user using the steps below, the new user was unable to connect:

Steps taken so far:

1. Copied the public key into the keydir (also tried copying it in a separate directory within the keydir) 2. I added a repo in the config file for the new userID 3. git add -A 4.

I have just installed Gitolite and Gitlab and I am very happy with it. Everything works fine so far. I can create repos, push to them, clone them on other clients on the network. Great!

But now I wanted to do some post-receive hooks. I.e. when I push to some repo, this repo should be checked out on the server in the /var/www/repos directory.

Installing Git on Ubuntu 12.04 36 weeks 5 hours ago

I installed git with gitolite on my vserver using this tutorial.

But I've got a problem to clone the gitolite-admin repo to my computer. The user is created with the option --disabled-password

But if I try to clone with

git clone git@<server>:gitolite-admin.git

he asks not only for the passphrase of my rsa_key but also for the password of the gituser.

Anyone an idea?

Hi I'm trying to set my own git repository. I was fallowing this how-to, but I had to change

Code: $REPO_BASE="/some/path/git/repositories"; in ..gitolite.rc.

I'm on mac os x, trying to host my own git server. I've got gitolite running perfectly. However, I have a folder called "git" in my Sites directory, such that visiting http://git.example.com points to that directory. How can I get Gitweb's document root to point to my gitolite "repositories" folder in /Users/me/repositories/?

I am trying to get a shared path setup between a QEMU/KVM guest and the host. The problem I'm having is that KVM runs as the libvirt-qemu user (Ubuntu distro) and thus won't have permissions to any of the host files.

Is there anyway to use the access writes of a particular host user for the shared path? (That is, other than simply running KVM as that user, or adding them to a group)

Hallo guys, I am new to Linux, I like to transfer multiple files from server A to server B. Source files URLs (from server A) are in a file called "list.txt" Eg.

Can anyone explain this? Nmap, when run with -n -sP as a non-privalged user results in correct output. But when run as root... it shows every node on the subnet as up.
