using gitosis for GIT

Question

I want user A and B to have clone, push and pull while user C can only do clone and pull (no push)

How do I do that?

Answer 1

git-dameon is used for public access. But you can use gitosis to grant read-only access to a particular group of users. For instance:

[group thegood]
writable = myRepo
members = A B
[group thebad]
readonly = myRepo
members = C
[repo myRepo]
description = "my project"

See example.conf for more information.

Answer 2

Gitosis can't limit write access to repository. If user is in members list then it has all read/commit rights.

Original documentation mentions that in such case just setup a git-daemon instance to repositories:

sudo -u git git-daemon --base-path=/home/git/repositories/ --export-all
