The installation of gitolite is relatively easy on alpine Linux. Bellow is the method to install gitolite on a user account.

  1. Log into root user
  2. "apk add perl"
  3. "apk add bash"
  4. "apk add git"
  5. "apk add nano"
  6. adduser -s /bin/bash -S
  7. su - git
  8. On your local machine make a ssh key "ssh-keygen -t myname.pub"
  9. Next run "scp ~/.ssh/myname.pub git@example.com:myname.pub" on your local machine
  10. On the remote machine type "git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite"
  11. gitolite/src/gl-system-install
  12. 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"
  13. add the line and save Ctrl+X
  14. logout and then back into the git user
  15. "gl-setup myname.pub"
  16. on your local machine you can now "git clone git@example.com:gitolite-admin"
  17. 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!
