how to configure a migrated git repository in gitolite


I have the gitolite and currently created test repositories and configured user rights and all works fine.

What I want now is I have migrated a cvs repository to git by using git cvsimport. I have the newly migrated repository. How I can configure this repository via gitolite and configure users for this repository?

Kindly guide me in right directions!!


Solution

  • You need to clone the gitoite-adin repo, and declare a new repo:
    See "adding and removing repos"

    Once done, you would add to your exisintg local git repo (the one with the CVS import in it) a new remote:

    git remote add gitolite git@server:to
    

    (you can name the remote origin if you want)

    And then you would push your local repo to the gitolite-managed one:

    git push gitolite master # to initialize the remote repo with master branch
    git push gitolite --all # to push all branches
    git push gitolite --tags # to push all tags
    

    (git push --all as mentioned in "With GitHub how do I push all branches when adding an existing repo?")
