Gitosis won't create repository


I'm testing my new Git repository. I converted from Subversion to Git, no problem.

Now, on my laptop

git remote add origin git@server:test.git

returns correctly. But when I do

git push

I get

error:gitosis.serve.main:repository read access denied

And when I go to /srv/git/repositories on the server, the new repository isn't created.

Is there a log file that I can look at somewhere to figure out what's going on?


Solution

  • Carefully follow the "Setting Up" portion of the README. It describes access control. You'd be much better off using gitolite instead. It's easier to use and better-documented. Gitosis is pretty much dead.
