rare or one-time activities

rare or one-time activities:

moving existing repos into gitolite

On the server:

• Move the repos to $HOME/repositories.
• Make sure that:
  
  • They are all bare repos.
  • All the repo names end in ".git".
  • All the files and directories are owned and writable by the gitolite hosting user (especially true if you copied them as root).
• Run gitolite setup. If you forget this step, you can also forget about write access control!

Back on your workstation:

• Add them to conf/gitolite.conf in your clone of the admin repo, then commit and push the change.
  If the repos are already covered by some wild pattern, this is optional.
