Hi List, I've been at this for a few days now, to no avail. It all began when gitosis stopped liking me, and whenever I tried to fetch from or push to my gitosis server, it gave me a 'fatal: x does not appear to be a git repo' error. So, I decided to remove gitosis and start again afresh. Following this [1] guide, I did/got the following: $ sudo adduser --system --shell /bin/sh --gecos 'git version control' --group --disabled-password --home /home/gitosis gitosis Adding system user `gitosis' (UID 119) ... Adding new group `gitosis' (GID 128) ... Adding new user `gitosis' (UID 119) with group `gitosis' ... Creating home directory `/home/gitosis' ... $ ssh-keygen -t rsa Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/tim/.ssh/id_rsa): Created directory '/home/tim/.ssh'. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/tim/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/tim/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. ... $ sudo -H -u gitosis gitosis-init < /home/tim/.ssh/id_rsa.pub Initialized empty Git repository in /home/gitosis/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/ Reinitialized existing Git repository in /home/gitosis/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/ $ git clone gitosis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:gitosis-admin Cloning into gitosis-admin... gitosis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx's password: Permission denied, please try again. Of course, it's not meant to ask me for a password, and no matter what I type, it won't work anyway, as it's disabled. So, did I miss something? Does anybody know some gitosis magic?
