gitosis: how to add new repository

I assume that you already have your gitosis-admin repository working (this is described elsewhere).

1. cd gitosis-admin && git pull – enter your gitosis administrative repository and ensure it is up-to-date
2. $EDITOR gitosis.conf
3. add [group newreponame] section (newreponame is the name of your new repository being added); add yourself with members = yourlogin@yourhost line; also add writable = newreponame line:

          [group newreponame]
          members = yourlogin@yourhost
          writable = newreponame

4. based on my assumption of a correctly setup gitosis-admin repository, you should already have the appropriate public key in the keydir directory, but if not – copy your user’s ssh public key to keydir in the form of yourlogin@yourhostname.pub, then do git add keydir/yourlogin@yourhostname.pub
5. git commit -am ‘new repository: newreponame’; git push;
6. now that you have the new repo permissions configured, let’s actually create it. Navigate to the directory holding the files of your project (e.g. cd ~/newreponame), and do git init; git add . – this initializes empty git repository, and then adds all the files to it.
7. git commit -m ‘initial commit’
8. git remote add origin ssh://gitosis@yourGitosisServerName/newreponame.git
9. git push ––all
10. final thing: git config ––add branch.master.remote origin && git config ––add branch.master.merge refs/heads/master; alternatively, cd .git && $EDITOR config, and then add these lines:

          [branch "master"]
          remote = origin
          merge = refs/heads/master

Without these lines, you won’t be able to git pull.

Making remote copies

What if you want to copy files offsite to a remote host? No problem -- all you need to do is add the host and user information. So, for instance, if you want to copy the same directory to a remote host, you'd use:

rsync -avhe ssh --delete /home/user/dir/ user@remote.host.com:dir/

If you want to know how fast the transfer is going, and how much remains to be copied, add the --progress option:

rsync --progress -avhe ssh --delete /home/user/dir/ user@remote.host.com:dir/

If you don't want to be prompted for a password each time rsync makes a connection -- and you don't -- make sure that you have rsync set up to log in using an SSH key rather than a password. To do this, create an SSH key on the local machine using ssh-keygen -t dsa, and press Enter when prompted for a passphrase. After the key is created, use ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_dsa.pub user@remote.host.com to copy the public key to the remote host.

What if you need to bring back some of the files you copied using rsync? Use the following syntax:

rsync -avze ssh remote.host.com:/home/user/dir/ /local/path/

The z option compresses data during the transfer. If the file you are copying exists on the local host, then rsync will just leave it alone -- the same as if you were copying files to a remote host.
Wrapping it up with a script

Once you've figured out what directory or directories you want to sync up, and you've gotten the commands you need to sync everything, it's easy to wrap it all up with a simple script. Here's a short sample:

rsync --progress -avze ssh --delete /home/user/bin/ user@remote.host.com:bin/
rsync --progress -avze ssh --delete /home/user/local/data/ user@remote.host.com:local/data/
rsync --progress -avze ssh --delete /home/user/.tomboy/ user@remote.host.com:/.tomboy/

also remember to to use the --dry-run option with your commands
