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)
- From the Dashboard main page, select Apps at the top.
- Choose Webapps
- Select New Web App button at the bottom
- Enter gitweb for the Name (ensure the path reflects the name correctly)
- Choose Create
- Open a terminal as root user and do the following:
- Install dependencies
bash code yum -y install git git-daemon gitweb - 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 - Create web page to browse repository
- 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 $RETVAL - Set init script to run
bash code chmod 755 /etc/init.d/git; chkconfig git on /etc/init.d/git start - Edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/git.conf and replace with this text
Text <Directory /var/hda/web-apps/gitweb/html> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /git/ RewriteRule ^$ 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 - Add a short description and test file
bash code cd /var/cache/git/test echo "test repo" > description 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 cd /var/hda/web-apps/git cp -r /var/www/git/* html chown -R apache:users html - Update permissions and restart web server
bash code chown -R git.git /var/cache/git /etc/init.d/httpd restart;
| 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

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