Gitit is a wiki that uses Git for version control. It's a great tool for managing documentation and notes. Gitit is written in Haskell and is available on Github. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Gitit on Fedora Server Latest.
Before proceeding with this guide, you need to have the following:
First, we need to install the necessary dependencies for Gitit to work properly. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf install gitit cabal-install
This will install Gitit and Cabal, which is a build system for Haskell.
Next, we need to clone the Gitit repository from Github. In your terminal, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/jgm/gitit.git
This will clone the Gitit repository to your current directory.
Now that we have all of the necessary dependencies and the Gitit repository, we can build and install Gitit. We will be using Cabal to build and install Gitit.
First, we need to navigate to the Gitit repository directory:
cd gitit
Next, we need to update Cabal:
cabal update
Finally, we can build and install Gitit:
cabal install
This may take a few minutes to complete. Once the installation is complete, you should see a message that says "Installing library in /home/yourusername/.cabal/lib/..." followed by "Installing executable gitit in /home/yourusername/.cabal/bin/".
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Gitit on Fedora Server Latest.
Now that Gitit is installed, we need to configure it to work properly. We will create a configuration file for Gitit.
First, create a directory for Gitit configurations:
sudo mkdir /etc/gitit
Next, create a configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/gitit/gitit.conf
Add the following lines to the configuration file:
port = 5001
bindAddress = "0.0.0.0"
These lines tell Gitit to listen on all network interfaces and use port 5001. You can change these values to fit your needs.
Save and exit the configuration file.
Finally, we can start Gitit:
gitit -f /etc/gitit/gitit.conf
This will start Gitit with the configuration file we created in the previous step.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Gitit on Fedora Server Latest. We have also shown you how to configure Gitit so that it works properly. You can now start using Gitit to manage your documentation and notes.
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!
