Create a git server

Git

Create a git server

1. apt-get install git
2. adduser git
3. Become the git user and add team's ssh keys to /home/git/.ssh/authorized_keys
4. Change the git user's shell in /etc/passwd to /usr/bin/git-shell or to whichever path it is otherwise located
5. mkdir /opt/git
6. chown -Rv git.git /opt/git
7. chmod -Rv g+ws /opt/git
8. cd /opt/git
9. mkdir myproject.git
10. cd myproject.git
11. git init --bare --shared
12. See addition to /opt/git/myproject.git/config below
13. mv /opt/git/myproject.git/hooks/post-update.sample /opt/git/myproject.git/hooks/post-update
14. On your local computer do:
    
    1. mkdir ~/tmp
    2. cd ~/tmp
    3. git config --global user.name "Your Full Name"
    4. git config --global user.email your.name@abc.net
    5. git init
    6. git add .
    7. git commit -m 'initial commit'
    8. git remote add origin git@git.yourserver.com:/opt/git/myproject.git
    9. git push origin master
       
       1. NOTE: if you get an error that origin already exists, do "git remote rm origin" before push
15. Debug the set up, this guide probably has a few mistakes

Add this to /opt/git/myproject.git/config

[http]
    receivepack = true

Add apache functionality

1. apt-get install apache2
2. addgroup www-data git
3. a2enmod auth_basic
4. a2enmod authnz_ldap
5. Add virtual host definition below
6. service apache2 restart

The virtual host file is something like this, but you need to fix the "XXXX" part, best luck:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerName git.abc.net
 DocumentRoot /opt/git

 ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/git_error.log
 CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/git_access.log combined
 
 SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /opt/git
 SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
