There are different ways to install git, gitolite, and webacces (e.g. [[#GitlabHQ|gitlabhq])] on Debian oder Ubuntu.

In any case: be sure to read the complete (!) gitolite documentation before you proceed. This article is mainly for Debian squeeze (6.0) server.

Mainly this boils down to:

should use gitolite anyway
which username you like to use by default to access the server: git, gitolite, whatever
which port to use for ssh
create a public or private repo
have http access via smarthttp or gitlabhq
install it manually or the "debian way" (apt-get), however the latter will give you automatic security updates

Fast, secure and stable solution based on Ruby on Rails & Gitolite.

Gitolite is the new framework around git. Easy project and user rights management.

Everything well documented online:

I had some problems (re)creating a user on my debian system (squeeze) after reverting a gitolite installation and deleting the user git with

userdel -rf git

After that you have to recreate a new user git with:

useradd -d /home/git -b /home/git -m -s /bin/bash git
passwd git

If you not do this, there is not valid shell, the userdir in /home is not created and there is no password!

Is not activly maintained and developed any more. Use gitolite instead.
