Manual Setup

The installation of Gitolite is relatively easy on Alpine Linux. Below is the method to install Gitolite on a user account.

Log into root user
apk add perl bash git nano
adduser -s /bin/bash -S git
su - git
On your local machine make a ssh key
ssh-keygen -t myname.pub
Next, run
scp ~/.ssh/myname.pub git@example.com:myname.pub
on your local machine
On the remote machine type
git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
gitolite/src/gl-system-install
You will receive an error message. To fix this, add the path it gives you in a new file called .bash_profile.
nano /home/git/.bash_profile
Add the line and save - Ctrl+X.
Logout and then log back into the git user
gl-setup myname.pub
On your local machine you can now
git clone git@example.com:gitolite-admin
On your local machine you can now edit your config files, commit them, and push them back to the server.

I'm a brand new Alpine user and was able to get it working using the above instructions. Hope this will help someone else!
