Release notes¶

This plugin is provided as is and experimental. It works great in production for Planio, but we don’t guarantee it will work for you.

Installation notes¶

• make sure the plugin folder is named redmine_gitosis and not redmine-gitosis (note "_" vs "-")
• you must setup a key with gitosis-admin write rights and copy it to /path/to/redmine/vendor/plugins/redmine_gitosis/extra/ssh/private_key
  • for some misterious reason I had to copy the key in ~/.ssh/id for the user running passenger (but under mongrel it wasn't required)
• edit /path/to/redmine/vendor/plugins/redmine_gitosis/lib/gitosis.rb and fix the following
  • GITOSIS_URI - this should be the uri for retrieving the gitosis-admin repository
  • GITOSIS_BASE_PATH - this should be set to the path where gitosis stores the repositories (used for repository deletes only)
• after install each user should have a link, on the my account page, right next to the change password link
