Gitbucket is a web-based Git repository manager that allows you to efficiently manage your Git repositories. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to install Gitbucket on your Manjaro Linux system.
Before we begin, ensure that the following prerequisites are met:
Gitbucket is built on Java, so you need to install Java to run Gitbucket. You can install Java using the following command:
sudo pacman -S jdk-openjdk
Download the Gitbucket package using the following command:
wget https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket/releases/download/4.36.3/gitbucket.war
You can replace the version number with the latest Gitbucket version number available at https://github.com/gitbucket/gitbucket/releases.
Next, create a separate user for Gitbucket:
sudo useradd -r -s /bin/false gitbucket
Move the Gitbucket package to the installation directory:
sudo mv gitbucket.war /opt/gitbucket/
Change the ownership of the Gitbucket installation directory to the Gitbucket user:
sudo chown -R gitbucket:gitbucket /opt/gitbucket/
You can now start Gitbucket using the following command:
sudo -u gitbucket /usr/bin/java -jar /opt/gitbucket/gitbucket.war --port=8080
You can replace 8080 with your desired port number.
You can access Gitbucket in your web browser at http://localhost:8080.
In this tutorial, we've shown you how to install Gitbucket on your Manjaro Linux system. Now you can efficiently manage your Git repositories using Gitbucket. Happy coding!
