Using git@school

git is available for you to store and share your projects.

The is a local git-server - a virtual machine running on top of bren. It is known on bren.

User creation

Note:The following instructions requires you to perform them on bren, i.e. log-in to bren.

In order to be able to store projects on git-server you need to be created on the server.

If you haven't done it already, you have to create a ssh key-pair - see Linux hints how to create your ssh key-pair.

Next issue this command:

$ cd /home/git-server
$ mkdir <your username>
$ chmod 700 <your username>
$ cd <your username>
$ cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub <your username>.pub
$ vi projectname

For every <your username> you will of-course put in your login on bren.

when the editor opens add these lines:

[group <your groupname>]
writable = <your projectname>
members = <your username>
 
[group <your groupname_ro>
readable = <your projectname>
members = <member names>

where the last group is not necessary if nobody shall be able to just read the project without being able to write back.

You can add several usernames if needed - you should just provide one username.pub file per username in the same directory.

Finally you write a mail to klausk (at) iha [dot] dk asking to have the entries created on the git-server. When you receive an email back everything should be working.
