I'm trying to setup gitolite on ubuntu 13.04 the following way:

I create an user for it:

sudo adduser \
  --system \
  --shell /bin/bash \
  --gecos 'git version control' \
  --group \
  --disabled-password \
  --home /home/git \
  git

I haven't got a SSH key pair, so i creat one, without passhphrase:

ssh-keygen -t rsa

then i copy it to tmp:

cp .ssh/id_rsa.pub /tmp/myusername.pub

Then change to owner of the copied key to git:

sudo chmod git /tmp/myusername.pub

then i change to the git user, and append it's bin dir to PATH:

sudo su git
echo "PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH" > ~/.bashrc

finally, run gl-setup with the copied key, and accept the default config:

gl-setup /tmp/local.pub

After it, i type exit, so i go back to the myusername user. Now i try to clone the admin repo, but it asks for password:

myusername@gitserver-virtualbox:~$ git clone git@localhost:gitolite-admin.git
Cloning into 'gitolite-admin'...
git@localhost's password:

What did i do wrong?

  • `gl-setup`??? That's old gitolite g2! Try gitolite g3 latest one. And for debugging ssh, try http://stackoverflow.com/questions/922210/unable-to-git-push-master-to-github/922461#922461 – VonC May 22 '13 at 20:12
  • @VonC 12.04 (LTS) comes with 1.5.4. Wheezy and 13.04 comes with 2.3. 3 ain't packaged where it counts. – kaleissin Sep 02 '13 at 08:34
  • @kaleissin you don't need a package: just git clone the repo ;) `git clone https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite`: you can be setup in seconds. – VonC Sep 02 '13 at 08:35
