I configured gitolite according to README from github.com/sitaramc/gitolite. The user in gitolite server is git. I changed the gitolite.conf under /home/john/gitolite-admin/conf in the workstation, where I added a foo repo. After that, I git push and I checked the server. The /home/git/repositories in the server got the new foo repo. The repo foo is RW+. In that case, I assumed that the gitolite works ok. So, I:
git add test.txt
git commit -m "add test file"
git remote rm origin
git remote add origin [email protected]:/home/git/repositories/foo.git
git push origin master
But I got the error message:
FATAL: W any home/git/repositories/foo John DENIED by fallthru
(or you mis-spelled the reponame)
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly.
I have no clue about this error. Can someone give any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
You don't see "git@xxx:/home/git/repositories/foo.git" urls in the README.
What you see is:
git@xxx:foo
In other word, you must not specify the full path.
Plus, make sure you don't delete origin in your local repo gitolite-admin.
If you have a new repo foo, you must clone it somewhere else:
git clone git@xxx:foo
I suspect you have only one ssh public/private key, but if you have to maintain several identities, see "Multiple gitolite users on one machine".
