Gitolite is an SSH-based gatekeeper providing access control for
|
||
|
|
a server that hosts many git repositories. Without gitolite, each
|
||
|
|
developer needing to push to one of the repositories hosted would
|
||
|
|
need a user account on that server; gitolite lets you do that just
|
||
|
|
using SSH public keys tied to a single, common, user that hosts
|
||
|
|
all the repositories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gitolite can restrict who can read (clone/fetch) from or write
|
||
|
|
(push) to a repository, and who can push to what branch or tag -
|
||
|
|
an important issue in corporate environments. Other features include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* access control by branch-name or by modified file/directory;
|
||
|
|
* per-developer "personal namespace" prefixes;
|
||
|
|
* simple but powerful configuration file syntax (with validation);
|
||
|
|
* config files (and authority for maintaining them) can be split;
|
||
|
|
* easy integration with gitweb;
|
||
|
|
* comprehensive logging;
|
||
|
|
* easy migration from gitosis.
