gitolite disallow access for directory on master b

问题:

Consider the following repo:

REPO/src/A/

REPO/src/B/

Is it possible by having only 1 repo to implement the following restrictions?

1. On master branch, allow full access to maintainers role
2. On master branch, disallow access to A but allow for B to contributors role.
3. On personal branches, allow full access to A and B to creators.

回答1:

With Gitolite V3 or 'g3' and its VREF, it should be possible to implement those restrictions.

But the access you can manage is only for write-access.
If a user can clone a repo, he/she will have read-access to all the repo (as mentioned in "gitolite: allow to change only selelected files").
If you really want to limit read-access, you might try gitolite 'partial-copy'.

Few notes:

• VREF can be used for restricting pushes by dir/file name.
• I use here the notion of role, not group of users: you need to set the permission separately for said users.
• Personnal branches are described here.

An access rule is like:

<permission> <zero or more refexes> = <one or more users/user groups>

<zero or more refexes> means your can combines refexes

That would give something like (not tested):

repo REPO
        RW+  master                     =   MAINTAINER
        -    master         VREF/NAME/A =   CONTRIBUTOR
        RW   master         VREF/NAME/B =   CONTRIBUTOR
        RW   personal/USER/ VREF/NAME/A =   CREATOR
        RW   personal/USER/ VREF/NAME/B =   CREATOR

回答2:

repo REPO
    - master VREF/NAME/src/A = @contributors
    RW+ master = @maintainers @contributors
    RW+ personal/ = @creators
