Gitolite
The installation of gitolite is relatively easy on alpine Linux. Bellow is the method to install gitolite on a user account.
- Log into root user
- "apk add perl"
- "apk add bash"
- "apk add git"
- "apk add nano"
- adduser -s /bin/bash -S
- 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 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 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 then commit them and push them back to the server
Im a brand new alpine user and was able to get it working using the above instructions, hope this will help someone else!
