I don't see any reason to run gitosis when there's gitolite, even for a single user. Either is definitely preferable to doing things manually, though.

- ehsanul 16y agoI just went throught gitolite's readme, and I don't see any reason why a lone dev might want to use it, since it seems to be built for managing teams with access control needs. Doing it manually for me just means (on the server): mkdir project_name cd project_name git init --bare Hardy difficult. I already have ssh keys set up from long back, so that's all I have to do really. Then I just add the remote repository on my local machine.
- cdr 16y agoI avoid sysadmin work when possible - it's not something I enjoy spending time on. Setting up gitolite is dead simple - setting up a git server manually manually might be 'simple' compared to other tasks, but it's still unnecessary work. Creating new repos is as simple as changing the config file and pushing it - no need to do anything on the server at all. I see absolutely no reason TO do it manually, and that's the decider.
