Hi Sitaram, Thanks for helping me by providing such a good link. Now, I am able to understand how to manage the user in efficient way. With that I have one question is- in my GIT server we already migrated our source code (pilot testing) from CVS to GIT. We used user "GITAdmin" for migration and though its for pilot testing only we use the home directory for source code repository is /home/GITAdmin/migration/VVD.git. now the question is, I install gitolie using the same user "GITAdmin" and on the same path i.e. /home/GITAdmin. And when add repository from my workstation (git add conf/glitolite.conf) , this added repositories directory on the GIT server path /home/GITAdmin/repositories/MRB.git Now my confusion is my existing source code repository directory path during migration /home/GITAdmin/migration/<repository.git> and now through gitolite I want to manage both users and repositories but through gitolite it add repository in different path /home/GITAdmin/repositories/<repository.git>. Can you please help how through gitolite I can add new repository on to the same my exisitng migrated repository directory?
