Replace 'username' with your actual username.
Run the following command to create basic configuration files:
cd /home/username/gitit && gitit --print-default-config > gitit.conf
Edit the configuration file to match your requirements.
Once Gitit is installed and configured, start the Gitit server. Open the terminal and run the following command:
cd /home/username/gitit && gitit
Replace 'username' with your actual username.
