Git Admin Page

gitolite

May First/People Link maintains a git repository using gitolite3 on allende.

The full support team has read/write access to the gitolite3 admin repository - allowing any support team member the ability to create or remove git repositories

• To checkout the admin repo:

git clone gitolite3@git.mayfirst.org:gitolite-admin

• To add a new user, copy their public ssh key into keydir/NAME.pub (replace "NAME" with a unique identifier for this user)

• To create a new repo, edit the conf/gitolite.conf file, adding a stanza such as:

  repo mfpl/login-service
      RW+ = @support_team
      R   = daemon
  

When done, commit and push your changes.

git service

On allende, we run git as a service via our own systemd file: /etc/systemd/system/git-daemon.service to avoid runit.
