I didn't\nneed any of the fine grained permissions for my repos, I just wanted something\nthat would authenticate based on ssh public keys. I also happen to have a few\npost-receive hooks that need to ssh in to other servers, and gitosis's git user\nreally doesn't play nice with sshing elsewhere.\n\nBasically, all this adds on top of a normal git server is authentication (NOT\nauthorization or permissions) via the mini-meta-admin repo, which is just a repo\ncontaining ssh public keys. It let's you take care of the rest without getting\nin your way.\n\nReally simple, but that's all I want.\n\n\nInstallation\n================================================================================\n\nCreating the git user and authentication repository\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n$ sudo ./makegituser\n$ sudo ./makeauthrepo\n$ sudo ./tempinstallfirstkey $PATH_TO_YOUR_KEY.pub\n\nCloning the authentication repository and permanently adding your public key\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n$ git clone git@yourdomain.com:mini-meta-admin.git\n$ cd mini-meta-admin\n$ cp $PATH_TO_YOUR_KEY.pub .\n$ git add *\n$ git commit -m \"Initial commit, adding my public key forreal-sies\"\n$ git push origin master\n\n\nRepository Management and Administration\n================================================================================\n\nAuthentication\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTo give a user access to your repositories, just add their ssh public key to\nyour mini-meta-admin repository and run `git push origin master`.\n\nTo remove a user's access, just remove their ssh public key from the\nmini-meta-admin repo and `git push origin master`.\n\nThat is all there is to it.\n\nAdding/Creating Repositories\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nFIRST create a \"repositories\" file in your mini-meta-admin repository, if you do\nnot already have one. Append the names of the repo(s) you wish to create/host to\nthe \"repositories\" file on individual lines. Run `git push origin master` to\nsync the git user with your mini-meta-admin configurations.\n\nIF YOU ARE CREATING NEW REPOSITORIES you can now checkout the empty repo(s) you\njust created, via `git clone git@your_domain.com:your_repo.git`. Make commits,\nhave fun, `git push origin master`.\n\nIF YOU ARE ADDING EXISTING REPOSITORIES you can now `git remote add REMOTE_NAME\ngit@your_domain.com:your_repo.git` to add the newly created repo as a remote to\nyour existing repo, and `git push REMOTE_NAME --all` to sync the new remote with\nyour repository.\n\nDeleting Repositories\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNot yet implemented. Just do it via sudo.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffitzgen%2Fmini-meta-git","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffitzgen%2Fmini-meta-git","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffitzgen%2Fmini-meta-git/lists"}
