== 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.
