Gitolite support "public repository" authority?

Recent research in Git, I encounter a problem :

If I want a repository open to the public (no ssh key, only you can clone), Gitolite can do it?

Solution

  • Yes and no.

    Yes, you can add a gitolite access rule to allow read access for everyone. 

    R @all

    (Using the special group @all)

    But, independently of gitolite, if you access a git repo with an ssh url, you would need an ssh key.

    Without any ssh key, that means the git hosting server should support http access (and call gitolite from the httpd configuration file)
