A basic Django app for using Gitolite

Project description

# Django Gitolite

A basic Django app for using Gitolite

## Configuration

By default the Gitolite rc file is `~/.gitolite.rc`. Follow these steps:

1. Add `LOCAL_CODE => "$ENV{HOME}/local",` to the rc file.
2. Create `~/local/triggers/post-compile/django`, it should be executable and
call the `gitolitetrigger` management command.
3. Create `~/local/hooks/common/post-receive`, it should be executable and call
the `gitolitehook` management command.
4. Add `POST_COMPILE => ['post-compile/django'],` to the rc file.
5. Add `POST_CREATE => ['post-compile/django'],` to the rc file.
6. Add `SSH_AUTHKEYS => ['post-compile/ssh-authkeys'],` to the rc file.

This is an example `post-compile/django` script:

#!/bin/bash
source ~/virtualenv/bin/activate
export PYTHONPATH=~/site
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
python ~/site/manage.py gitolitetrigger $@

This is an example `post-receive` script:

#!/bin/bash
source ~/virtualenv/bin/activate
export PYTHONPATH=~/site
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
python ~/site/manage.py gitolitehook $@

### Running as another user

This configuration requires `sudo` and the current user to be in the same group
as the gitolite user's default group.

As the gitolite user, open `~/.gitolite.rc` and add `UMASK => 0027,`. This is
required to be able to read `gl-creator` and `gl-forked-from` files in the
repositories. Next, ensure that the key directory, `~/.gitolite/keydir` exists
and is writable by the current user. Files in this directory need to be
readable by the gitolite user, to ensure that files are created belong to the
gitolite user's default group use `chmod g+rwxs ~/.gitolite/keydir`.

Next, you need to setup `sudo` so the gitolite user can use it to run Gitolite
triggers. Insert the following line into `/etc/sudoers`:

%git ALL=(git)NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/gitolite trigger SSH_AUTHKEYS

Below is the following I use on my server:

Defaults: site-eyl env_keep += "GL_USER"
%git ALL=(git)NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/gitolite trigger SSH_AUTHKEYS,/usr/bin/gitolite list-phy-repos,/usr/bin/gitolite access *,/usr/bin/gitolite D *

Defaults:git env_keep += "GL_REPO GL_USER GL_BYPASS_ACCESS_CHECKS"
git ALL=(site-eyl) NOPASSWD: /srv/site-eyl/bin/manage gitolitehook,/srv/site-eyl/bin/manage gitolitetrigger *
