git-daemon-sysvinit for Debian ------------------------------ This package enables a git-daemon service. This allows people to use a git:// URL to access your repositories. After installing this package, the daemon needs to be enabled in /etc/default/git-daemon by setting: GIT_DAEMON_ENABLE=false to: GIT_DAEMON_ENABLE=true After that, the git daemon can be started with: # /etc/init.d/git-daemon start The git daemon by default looks into the directory /var/lib/git/ for repositories (this is configured in /etc/default/git-daemon). It expects the repositories' .git subdirectories in that directory, symlinks pointing to the corresponding subdirectories in the repositories are just fine, e.g.: ln -s ~daniel/git/foo/.git /var/lib/git/foo.git This makes 'git-clone git://git.example.org/git/foo' to clone the foo repository on remote machines work. -- Daniel Baumann Tue, 19 Oct 2010 00:54:58 +0200
