HowTo

There are different ways to install git, gitolite, and e.g. gitlabhq on Debian oder Ubuntu. Be sure to read the comlete (!) gitolite documentation before you proceed. This article is mainly for Debian squeeze (6.0) server.

Mainly this boils down to:

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