In this tutorial, we will go through the step-by-step process of installing Gitblit on POP! OS latest. Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java Git server that is designed to be easy to install, easy to use, and easy to extend.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that you have the following:
Open the terminal or command line. You can do this by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T.
Update your system's package list by running the following command:
sudo apt update
Install Gitblit by running the following command:
sudo apt install gitblit
Once the installation is complete, start the Gitblit service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start gitblit
Check the status of the Gitblit service by running the following command:
sudo systemctl status gitblit
The output should show that the service is active and running.
To access the Gitblit web interface, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080/gitblit. If you are accessing Gitblit from a remote machine, replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of the machine running Gitblit.
To configure Gitblit, edit the gitblit.properties file located in the /etc/gitblit/ directory. You can use any text editor, such as nano, to make changes to the file. For example, you can change the port number or set up authentication.
To stop the Gitblit service, run the following command:
sudo systemctl stop gitblit
To enable the Gitblit service to start automatically at boot time, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable gitblit
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Gitblit on POP! OS latest. You can now use this Git server to manage your code repositories.
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!
