Make a GIT repository read only for some users using gitosis

We are running a GIT repository using gitosis and we need to forbid the push to some people of the team.

So i want everybody have read access to all repositories (got +10 repo and +20 machines where the users can do commit pull and push)

I need to restrict only the push, i want user can continue doing pull and clone but not push, only 2 users can push to master.

So any ideas? maybe to ask a password before make push?

Solution

  • You do this in the gitosis.conf file. Create two groups, one for those who can write to the repo, and one for those who have read-only access:

    [repo my_repo]
description = Git repository for foobar
owner = user1

[group my-repo]
writable = my_repo
members = user1 user2

[group readonly]
readonly = my_repo
members = user3 user4 user5
