GIT, Gitosis, GitBlit Installation in Centos/RHEL 6

                     
1. Using Apache authentication


yum install git
useradd -s /sbin/nologin -d /data/gitroot git
chmod 2770 /data/gitroot/

#cd /var/www/html
#ln -s /data/gitroot gitroot

#vim /etc/httpd/con/httpd.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>

        # You can comment out the below 3 lines and put correct value as per your server information
        ServerName        git.mansoor.net
        ServerAlias       www.git.mansoor.net
        ServerAdmin       prodsupport@mansoor.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html/gitroot
<Location />
        DAV on

#        # general auth settings
        AuthName "Git login:"
        AuthType Basic

#        # file authentication
        AuthUserFile  /etc/httpd/git/htpasswd.git
</Location>



@@@@@Creating Repository and give access to user@@@
1. #mkdir /data/gitroot/reponame
2. #cd /data/gitroot/reponame
3. #git --bare init
4. #chown apache.apache -R /data/gitroot/reponame
5. #sudo -u apache git update-server-info
6. # Add below lines end of file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
    <Location /reponame>
        <LimitExcept PROPFIND>
            Require valid-user
        </LimitExcept>
    </Location>

7. Create username for access
   #htpasswd /etc/httpd/git/htpasswd.git username
8. #service httpd reload

@@@Check repo from client machine by clone, add, commit, push@@
#Run below from client machine
#mkdir live
#cd live
#git clone http://git.mansoor.net/reponame
#cd reponame/
#echo "Test file created" > test.txt
#git remote add originServer git@10.1.5.66:TestProject.git
#git add test.txt
#git commit -m 'added test.txt'
#git push origin master

2. Git Using SSH authentication Using Keypair authentication

Install Gitosis

   [@Server]
   1. Download Gitosis from https://github.com/tv42/gitosis (or git clone git://eagain.net/gitosis )
   2. Install it by
       cd gitosis
       python setup.py install
       If you get errors, try yum install python-setuptools

Generate SSH public/private key (If you don't have one)

   [@Local]
   1. To generate a public/private key, run
       ssh-keygen -t rsa
   2. The newly generated public key will be at $Home/.ssh/ directory and named id_rsa.pub. Private key will be named id_rsa.
   3. Upload your public key to server's /tmp directory
       scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub username@SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:/tmp/YourPublicKey.pub

Configure Gitosis

   [@Server]
   1. Create a user to own the repositories, usually called git
       adduser git
   2. Create the repository and add YourPublicKey into authorized keys
       sudo -H -u git gitosis-init < /tmp/YourPublicKey.pub

Configure the permissions

   [@Local]
   1. To configure who can access to your repositories, clone gitosis-admin first and then edit gitosis.conf in gitosis-admin directory
       git clone git@SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:gitosis-admin.git
       cd gitosis-admin
       vi gitosis.conf
   2. Add a repository, TestProject, and make user Howard has full access to it.
       [New group]
       members = Howard
       writable = TestProject
   3. Get Howard's public key, Howard.pub, from Howard and put it into keydir of gitosis-admin
       cp Howard.pub keydir
   4. Once done, commit it and push to remote server.
       git commit -m "Give Howard full access to TestProject"
       git push

Create the repository TestProject

   [@Local]
   1. User Howard creates the TestProject, initialize it and push it to remote server
       mkdir TestProject
       cd TestProject
       git init
       git remote add originServer git@SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:TestProject.git
       // create files, git add . and commit
       git add .
       git commit -m "Initial commit"
       git push originServer master:refs/heads/master
   2. Now TestProject is created and available on server
   3. To allow user Sibo accessing TestProject, edit gitosis.conf of gitosis-admin and add Sibo to members of [New group] and put Sibo's public key into keydir of gitosis-admin
   4. Commit it and push it remote server and now Sibo will be able to clone TestProject from remote server
       [@Sibo Local]
       git clone git@SERVER_IP_ADDRESS:TestProject.git
3. GIT Using  SSH password authentication
Install git.
[root@svn ~]# yum install git
Add the developers group, all git users will be part of this group.
[root@svn ~]# groupadd developers
Create the git user which will own all the repos.
[root@svn ~]# useradd -s /sbin/nologin -g developers git
[root@svn ~]# passwd git
Changing password for user git.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
Update Permissions.
[root@svn ~]# chmod 2770 /home/git/
Create an empty Git repo.
[root@svn project1]# git init --bare --shared
Initialized empty shared Git repository in /home/git/project1/
Update file ownership and permissions.
[root@svn project1]# chown -R git .
[root@svn project1]# chmod 2770 /home/git/project1
Create a git user account.
[root@svn git]# useradd -s /usr/bin/git-shell -g developers -d /home/git tony
useradd: warning: the home directory already exists.
Not copying any file from skel directory into it.
[root@svn git]# passwd tony
Changing password for user tony.
New password:
Retype new password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
At this point a regular user should be able to checkout the project1 repo from the Git server.
tony@apha05:~$ mkdir ~/testing_shit/git_test
tony@apha05:~$ cd ~/testing_shit/git_test && git init
tony@apha05:~/testing_shit/git_test$ git remote add origin tony@svn:/home/git/project1
Note:
Interestingly enough, an initial first commit has to be made onto the repo in order for any regular user to be able to push the repo, ie master branch. I received the following error when trying do so.
tony@apha05:~/testing_shit/git_test$ git push origin master
tony@svn's password:
error: src refspec master does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'tony@svn:/home/git/project1'
Fix:
tony@apha05:~/testing_shit/git_test$ git commit -m 'Initial'
[master (root-commit) 7bb7337] Initial
1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 README.txt
tony@apha05:~/testing_shit/git_test$ git push origin master
tony@svn's password:
Counting objects: 3, done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 209 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To tony@svn:/home/git/project1
* [new branch] master -> master

4. GITBlit Installation



Step 1 # Pre-requists packages & Install gitblit

1. yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk
2. mkdir /opt/gitblit
3. cd /opt/gitblit
6. cp service-centos.sh /etc/init.d/gitblit
7. vim /etc/init.d/gitblit modify the below line then save
GITBLIT_HTTP_PORT=1337

@@Run the below commands only if you need to store repositories in different location@@

By Default repositories will be created under /opt/gitblit/data/git [called basefolder] If you want to change this path
execute below commands.

Example path for basefolder: /Newdata/gitroot

#mkdir /Newdata/gitroot
#mv /opt/gitblit/data /Newdata/gitroot/
#cd /opt/gitblit/
#ln -s /Newdata/gitroot/data data


8. service gitblit start
9. netstat tupln | grep LISTEN | grep java

Result:
tcp 0 0 :::1337 :::* LISTEN 30573/java
tcp 0 0 :::8443 :::* LISTEN 30573/java
tcp 0 0 :::29418 :::* LISTEN 30573/java
