From http://gitolite.com/gitolite/gitolite.html#hu
"When you install gitolite in ssh mode, you pick one specific user on the Unix system to be the "hosting user". This is the user whose name goes into the repo URLs your users will be cloning, for example ssh://git@server/repo, or the simpler form git@server:repo."
It quite clearly states one specific user, but can we also have multiple hosting users, e.g. git.1, git.2, each with their own repositories, and which we could access separately using e.g. git.1@server:repo, git.2@server:anotherrepo, etc?
It can work if you install gitolite using those accounts, in their respective home directory.
su - git.1
mkdir -p ~/bin
git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
gitolite/install -ln ~/bin # please use absolute path here
gitolite setup -pk yourname.pub
(repeat for git.2 and so on)
But don't mix access and hosting: git.1, git.2 and other accounts could be simply declared in a gitolite.config, accessing their own repo, while using the unique git account as the hosting service user account.
