How can I setup a GitBlit repository preventing users to push?

Question

I would like that authenticated users can only:

view
clone
fetch/pull from it?

basically I want prevent users, even authenticated ones, to push to this git repo. But for other git repos on the same GitBlit I may desire to have authenticated users to also push to those repos.

thank you in advance

Gitblit 1.2.0, released 2012-12-31, introduced finer-grained permissions which address your exact needs.

The enhanced permissions, however, are still not as flexible as Gitolite which allows per-ref permissions. Gitblit's permissions apply to the repository, not to a particular ref.

As mentioned in the Gitblit FAQ, the easiest way would be to install in addition of Gitblit a gitolite, which is an authorization layer.

That will allow you to put in place all kind of access restriction, based on user authentication.

No, this is not an option in my scenario: I choose GitBlit because it strictly follow the KISS principle. While I'm able to install gitolite this is not the route I intend to go: I need a *simple* method of prohibiting uses to push content. Anyway thank you. – Fabio Vitale Oct 21 '12 at 15:32

@Fabio the thing is: authorization management + git + KISS = gitolite. ;-) – VonC Oct 21 '12 at 16:27
