Bug ID: 29619
Summary: Setup gitolite for projects
Product: sourceware
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Infrastructure
Assignee: overseers at sourceware dot org
Reporter: mark at klomp dot org
Target Milestone: ---
https://gitolite.com/gitolite/ (perl) packaged as gitolite3
Gitolite allows a server to host many git repositories and provide access
to many developers, without having to give them real userids on the server.
The essential magic in doing this is ssh's pubkey access and the authorized
keys file, and the inspiration was an older program called gitosis.
Gitolite can restrict who can read from (clone/fetch) or write to (push) a
repository. It can also restrict who can push to what branch or tag, which
is very important in a corporate environment. Gitolite can be installed
without requiring root permissions, and with no additional software than git
itself and perl. It also has several other neat features described below and
elsewhere in the doc/ directory.
A project using gitolite only needs one user account on the host (with one
admin git repo containing the ssh keys of the developers with git push access).
We can even run it inside a project specific container or vm to have more
isolation.
