This page describes the ways in which we use git at HCoop.
System-wide git
We have set up a gitweb repository viewer at http://git.hcoop.net/. We also have a git daemon, which can be used to quickly retrieve a project. People can host projects there simply by adding bare git repositories under their ~/.hcoop-git/ directory. This directory can be a hierarchy if you want to categorize your projects.
Getting started
First, you will want to make a ~/.hcoop-git directory. When you do, the gitweb interface and the git daemon will pick it up automatically.
mkdir ~/.hcoop-git fsr setacl ~/.hcoop-git system:anyuser read
Making projects available
It is recommended that you put bare git repositories under ~/.hcoop-git. Bare git repositories are the .git directories within a git project. If you want to keep a (pre-existing) copy of the working directory elsewhere, then do the following. PROJECT is the name of your project. WORKDIR is the location of your working directory.
ln -s WORKDIR/.git ~/.hcoop-git/PROJECT.git fsr setacl ~/.hcoop-git/PROJECT.git/. system:anyuser read
Note that the above command is "fsr", not "fs"!
If you forget to run this command on any subdirectories in ~/.hcoop-git, none of your projects will show up in the gitweb interface!
Alternatively, you can copy the .git directory from elsewhere and then run the fsr setacl command mentioned above.
When you have directories of bare git projects being served by gitweb, it is the convention to name them in this fashion: that is, the name of the project, followed by ".git".
It will take up to 15 minutes for any new projects to show up on the web interface, because we cache the front page.
To change the description displayed on the web interface for the project, edit the file ~/.hcoop-git/PROJECT.git/description.
