I am trying to make a new branch in Gitlab by using Gitolite. I complete the installation steps. when i come across "setting up gitolite" section i have a trouble. I followed this link.
When i run
gitolite setup -pk alice.pub
command i got "bash: gitolite: command not found" error message. I don't know what is the problem.. Any one please help me.
This step comes after the Gitolite installation, which supposes you have chosen one of three possibilities:
- Keep the sources anywhere and use the full path to run the
gitolite
command.
- Keep the sources anywhere and symlink just the gitolite program to some directory on your
$PATH
.
- Copy the sources somewhere and use that path to run the gitolite command.
So make sure gitolite is in your PATH
, and that command will work.
I prefer a local installation of gitolite (in a local directory, as opposed to /usr/local
, which requires root privileges.).
See, for illustration, "install_or_update_gitolite.sh
"
"${github}/install" -to "${gtl}/bin" # Note: "${gtl}/bin" is in my $PATH
GITOLITE_HTTP_HOME= gitolite setup -pk "${H}/.ssh/gitoliteadm.pub"
Note that for gitolite setup
to properly work, you might want to set GITOLITE_HTTP_HOME
to an empty string first.
As I also faced the same problem, I found the solution(s) as below.
First way is ...,
Open your terminal and key in below code
$ PATH=$PATH:~/bin
It is because the value of $PATH
variable is point to incorrected path.
So I just modify this variable.

Second way is ...,
Edit .bashrc
file going to the end and insert below line.
PATH=/home/git/bin:$PATH

On debian, there is no /usr/bin/gitolite
Linux debian-srv 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.60-1+deb7u3 x86_64 GNU/Linux ls: cannot access /home/gitolite/bin: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/gito*: No such file or directory
Here installing gitolite3 helped:
apt-get install gitolite3
root@debian-srv:# which gitolite
/usr/bin/gitolite
