Git for Debian
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
When setting up a git.example.org server, there are several things to
|
|
configure to make everything work nicely together. All this is optional.
|
|
|
|
1. Run a git-daemon. This allows people to use a git:// URL to access your
|
|
repositories. This package provides the git-daemon program, to enable a
|
|
git-daemon service, configure inetd(8) to launch it on demand, or install the
|
|
git-daemon-run package to run it permanently:
|
|
cat >> /etc/inetd.conf <<EOF
|
|
git stream tcp4 nowait nobody /usr/bin/git git daemon --inetd --base-path=/var/lib /var/lib/git
|
|
git stream tcp6 nowait nobody /usr/bin/git git daemon --inetd --base-path=/var/lib /var/lib/git
|
|
EOF
|
|
|
|
The git daemon looks into the directory /var/lib/git/ for repositories. It
|
|
expects the repositories' .git subdirectories in /var/lib/git/, symlinks
|
|
pointing to the corresponding subdirectories in the repositories are just
|
|
fine, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
ln -s ~pape/git/foo/.git /var/lib/git/foo.git
|
|
|
|
Now git-clone git://git.example.org/git/repo will work.
|
|
|
|
2. Configure a web server for git. This allows people to use a http:// URL
|
|
to access your repositories.
|
|
|
|
Here's an example for an apache virtual server. Add a stanza to your apache
|
|
configuration that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
<VirtualHost *:80>
|
|
ServerName git.example.org
|
|
ServerAdmin webmaster@example.org
|
|
HeaderName HEADER
|
|
# bogus but safe DocumentRoot
|
|
DocumentRoot /var/lib/git
|
|
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/git.example.org-error.log
|
|
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/git.example.org-access.log combined
|
|
Alias /robots.txt /var/www/cvs.robots.txt
|
|
Alias /static /usr/share/gitweb/static
|
|
Alias /git /var/lib/git
|
|
ScriptAlias / /usr/share/gitweb/gitweb.cgi
|
|
RedirectMatch permanent "^/~(.*)$" "http://example.org/~$1"
|
|
</VirtualHost>
|
|
|
|
Now git clone http://git.example.org/git/repo will work. And if you
|
|
installed the gitweb package, http://git.example.org/ now will display a
|
|
list of repositories, making them accessible through a web browser.
