Git is a free & open source, distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do. Coupled with Gitweb, provides a web interface for browsing your project.

This tutorial will show you how to install, create a repo, and browse that repo on your HDA.


NOTE: Tested on Fedora 14.

Setup

  • Create web app (Advanced Settings must be enabled on HDA)
    1. From the Dashboard main page, select Apps at the top.
    2. Choose Webapps
    3. Select New Web App button at the bottom
    4. Enter gitweb for the Name (ensure the path reflects the name correctly)
    5. Choose Create
    6. Open a terminal as root user and do the following:
    7. Install dependencies
      bash code
      ​yum -y install git git-daemon gitweb​
    8. Look for the ####-gitweb.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d (#### is some number, i.e. 1000) file and open it in your favorite editor. Add text after ServerAlias line
      Text
      ​Alias /git /var/hda/web-apps/gitweb/html/ RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^git$ git/ [R] DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG "/etc/gitweb.conf" AddHandler cgi-script .cgi​
    9. Create web page to browse repository
      10. bash code
      ​cd /var/hda/web-apps/gitweb echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Your Page Title</title> <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://gitweb/git/"></HEAD> <BODY> Optional page text here. </BODY> </HTML>' > html/index.html chown apache.users html/index.html​
  • Add user
    bash code
    ​useradd -U -d /var/cache/git -s /usr/libexec/git-core/git-shell git​
  • Set directory permissions
    bash code
    ​cd /var/cache chown -R git:git git chmod 755 git​
  • Create /etc/init.d/git file and add the following
    Text
    ​#!/bin/sh # # Startup/shutdown script for Git Daemon # # Linux chkconfig stuff: # # chkconfig: 345 56 10 # description: Startup/shutdown script for Git Daemon # . /etc/init.d/functions DAEMON=/usr/libexec/git-core/git-daemon ARGS='--base-path=/var/cache/git --detach --syslog --export-all --user=git --group=git' prog=git-daemon start () { echo -n $"Starting $prog: " # start daemon daemon $DAEMON $ARGS RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && touch /var/lock/git-daemon return $RETVAL } stop () { # stop daemon echo -n $"Stopping $prog: " killproc $DAEMON RETVAL=$? echo [ $RETVAL = 0 ] && rm -f /var/lock/git-daemon } restart() { stop start } case $1 in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; restart) restart ;; status) status $DAEMON RETVAL=$? ;; *) echo $"Usage: $prog {start|stop|restart|status}" exit 3 esac exit $RETVAL​
  • Set init script to run
    bash code
    ​chmod 755 /etc/init.d/git; chkconfig git on service git start​
  • Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/git.conf and replace with this text
    Text
    ​<Directory /var/hda/web-apps/gitweb/html> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /git/ RewriteRule ^$ gitweb.cgi [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule (.*) gitweb.cgi/$1 [QSA,L] </Directory>​
  • Create repository
    bash code
    ​cd /var/cache/git/ git init test cd /var/cache/git/test/</li> <li>Add a short description and test file {|style="width: 95%; margin-left: 10px; border-collapse: collapse; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: #aaa" !style="color:#777; background-color:#dfd;text-align:left"|bash code |- |'"`UNIQ--syntaxhighlight-00000016-QINU`"' |} </li> echo 'test' > README git add README git commit -m "initial README file"​
  • Edit config and add the following at the bottom
    Text
    ​[gitweb] owner = Your Name​
  • Add to bottom of /etc/gitweb.conf file
    Text
    ​$feature{'blame'}{'default'} = [undef]; $feature{'pickaxe'}{'default'} = [undef]; $feature{'search'}{'default'} = [undef]; $feature{'grep'}{'default'} = 1; $feature{'snapshot'}{'default'} = ['tgz', 'gzip', 'zip']; $feature{'snapshot'}{'override'} = 1; $site_name = "HDA Git"; $projectroot = '/var/cache/git/'; $projects_list_description_width = 50; $git_temp = "/tmp"; $home_text = "indextext.html"; $site_footer = "indexfooter.html"; $projects_list = $projectroot; $home_link_str = "http://gitweb / git "; $stylesheet = "/git/static/gitweb.css"; $logo = "/git/static/git-logo.png"; $favicon = "/git/static/git-favicon.png"; $feature{'pathinfo'}{'default'} = [1]; $my_uri = "http://gitweb/git/"; $home_link = "http://gitweb/git/;"​
  • Copy web files and set permissions
    bash code
    ​cp -r /var/www/git/* html chown -R apache:users html​
  • Restart web server to enable the changes
    bash code
    ​/etc/init.d/httpd restart;​

Complete

That is it. Navigate to http://gitweb/git to browse the newly created repository.
