This tutorial will covering common feature in git repository

• commiting via ssh
• Enable gitweb for web access
• cloning anonymously using the Git protocol

Install git, git-daemon

# yum -y install git git-daemon gitweb

Create a git user/group

# useradd -U -d /var/cache/git -s /usr/libexec/git-core/git-shell git

# cd /var/cache/git
# mkdir .ssh
# chmod 700 .ssh
# touch .ssh/authorized_keys
# chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
(Put the public keys into authorized_keys, one per line)
# chown -R git:git .ssh/
