git on fedorapeople.org

[John Poelstra]

Hi,

I would like to setup a git repo under my fedorapeople.org account that 
anyone can have RO access while providing me RW.

I am familiar with setting up git in a local environment, but unclear 
how and what to configure to make it work in this environment whereby 
anyone can clone or view it (i'm guessing over http) and I can commit to 
it (I'm guessing via ssh)?

IOW where should the git directory be?  Do I create a symlink from it to 
html_public? etc.

Thanks,
John

yes exactly.  It does not appear that a git server daemon is running
on that service, but http should suffice for many projects.

in ~/public_html/ you can make your bare clone, so you have say:

git clone --bare git://git.fedoraproject.org/git/hosted/mirrormanager
which creates ~/public_html/mirrormanager.git
which is only the .git directory, or you can drop the --bare and get a
fully checked out repo at ~/public_html/mirrormanager/

Then run: git-update-server-info  there to be sure it'll be accessible
via http.

Thanks,
Matt

IIRC, that was the intention, to use http for git and not need another
daemon running.
