Setup on the server
- On Gentoo, just emerge dev-vcs/git and follow instructions there. Basically, you create the git user, edit /etc/conf.d/git-daemon and start git-daemon (I am not sure what git-daemon actually does).
- To control access you must add SSH keys to the git user (since the home directory is in /var/git, edit /var/git/.ssh/authorized_keys).
- You can then create empty Git repositories like this:
cd /srv/net.elvanor/git/repository-path sudo -u git git init --bare
Cloning the repository on the client
- Directly clone the repository on a client computer like this:
git clone ssh://git@brithombar.elvanor.net/srv/net.elvanor/git/repository-path
Deleting a remote branch
- Use following command:
git push -d origin redesign
Reverting local changes
- Use following command:
git checkout .
