Gitblit is a web-based Git repository manager that allows you to create and manage Git repositories on your own server. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Gitblit on EndeavourOS Latest.
Before you begin, make sure that you have a working installation of EndeavourOS Latest with sudo privileges.
Gitblit requires Java to be installed on your system. To install Java, run the following command:
sudo pacman -S jre-openjdk-headless
Download Gitblit from their official website by running the following command:
sudo pacman -S gitblit
Once you have downloaded Gitblit, you need to configure it. Edit the following file with your favorite text editor:
/etc/gitblit.conf
Note that you may need to run your text editor as sudo.
Make sure that the following settings are configured correctly:
git.serverName = localhost
git.repositoriesFolder = /var/gitblit-data/repositories
server.httpPort = 8080
You can change the settings to fit your needs and preferences.
To start Gitblit, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start gitblit
This will start the Gitblit service on your system.
Once Gitblit is running, you can access its web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to:
http://localhost:8080
You should now see the Gitblit web interface, where you can create and manage Git repositories.
That's it – you have successfully installed Gitblit on EndeavourOS Latest. Now you can start using Gitblit to create and manage your Git repositories on your own server.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
