Gitolite is a powerful access control system for Git repositories. It works by managing Git repositories and their access via SSH keys. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Gitolite on Manjaro.
Before we begin the installation process, make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
sudo pacman -S gitolite
git user account. We need to initialize the Gitolite setup by running the following command as the git user:sudo -u git gl-setup /tmp/id_rsa.pub
Note: Make sure to replace /tmp/id_rsa.pub with the path to your SSH public key file.
The above command will create the required Gitolite folders and repositories under the repositories directory.
You can now access the Gitolite web interface by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost/gitolite-admin. This will allow you to manage your Gitolite repositories and set up access controls.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Gitolite on your Manjaro machine. With Gitolite, you can now manage your Git repositories with access controls and granular permissions.
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!
