I am using Gitolite to manage my git repositories. And I also use a third-party web application to display the repositories.
However each time I do a git push --all git@myserver.com:myproject
the third-party web application can not have access to the repository files. So I need to run each time chmod go+rx -R /path/to/the/repository/folder
to see the repository.
I have set git config core.sharedRepository all
but still is not remembering the permissions after git push
.
How can I solve this problem?
You could define a hook to your gitolite environment in order to update a non-bare pos (with the right ACL) from your bare repo managed by gitolite.
As long as you don't use the update
hook (in Gitolite V3), you can define an post-receive
hook in which you would do those tasks.
That being said, check also if the variable REPO_UMASK
UMASK
in your gitolite.rc has any bearing on this issue:
$UMASK
, octal, default 0077
The default UMASK
that gitolite uses makes all the repos and their contents have rwx------
permissions.
People who want to run gitweb
realise that this will not do.
The correct way to deal with this is to change this variable to 0027 (which gets you rwxr-x---
), then add the apache or httpd user running the webserver as a member of the 'gitolite' group.
Please note the syntax; the leading 0 is required. If you change it after the install is complete, you'll have to do some chmod
's also to adjust permissions of files and directories that have already been created.
(Note: REPO_MASK
got UMASK
with GitoliteV3 or 'g3')
