apache - How to set up git over http? -

I need to install a git server with git-over-http (smart http), but there are resources available online Dirt, mixing in other Apache configurations, details are missing or not being sufficiently clear.

Based on the lack of available resources, I am answering this question myself.

First it is necessary to understand that there are 2 components for git-over-http: git and apache. These two challenges to configure the interface between these two components with names connected via a script git-http-backend, which is forwarded by Apache requests Jiaiti.

Note: Security is outside the scope of this guide.

Start by installing git and apache2 using your distribution package manager.

Add the necessary modules by Epache to enable Git-Over-http These cgi alias and env

< "pre class =" lang- Bash prettyprint- override> $ a2enmod cgi aka env

1. copy

     & lt; VirtualHost *: 80 & gt; . Setenv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT / data / Git setenv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL setenv REMOTE_USER = $ REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER ScriptAliasMatch \ "(? X) ^ / (* / (head | \ info / refs | \ / objects (information / [^ /] + | \ [0- 9 A-F] {2} / [0-9A-F] {38} | \ Pack / Pack- [0- 9A-F] {40}. (Pack | IDX) | \ git- (Upload Get | -pack)) $ "\" / usr / lib / git / git-http-backend / $ 1 "alias / git / data / git & lt; Directory / usr / lib / git & gt; Option + ExecCGI -MultiViews + SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Allow overrides Do not allow any command, Allow all from & lt; / Directory & gt; & Lt; / VirtualHost & gt;  

   4. Now replace the 2 events of / data / git with the parent directory of your git repos (don ' If you do not have a repo yet, just use that directory where you intend to keep it.

   In addition to / usr / lib / git / git- Http- backend with the git-http-backend service on your system, the $ find / -name git-http-backend

   Can be found by using REDIRECT_REM on your system OTE_USER actually overwrites a valid REMOTE_USER . If this setup does not work when it finishes, try deleting the line.

   According to the source, the directory given by can be necessary to replace the last two lines within . For Apache 2.4 < / Strong> and above

   5. Restart Apache server: $ apache2ctl -k beautiful

   now Apache server has been set up, but we have not done so yet, there are some important parts to setting up a repo that will affect whether this setup works or not .

   < "pre class =" lang- Bash prettyprint- override> $ mkdir myrepo.git $ cd myrepo.git $ Git init: = "6">
2. Set Repo --bare --shared $ sup Hooks / Reply update.sample hook / reply updated $ git update-server-info $ chown r wwwrun: www

   here It is important to understand that in the last line, the owner of the repo turns into a 2 user in an appetite. This user may be different on your system to find Apache user, $ ps aux | Execute Egrep '(Apache | httpd)' '. To then find the name of the user's group, execute the $ id username . Change the user according to wwwrun and group www on my system.

   7. Use repo

   To use a repo, you need to know the URL. The URL for this setup is

   Note: http s will not work.

   When you reach a customer to repo, if you add it as a remote:

     $ git remote Add original http: //server.domain/myrepo.git  

   Then you can chat with it like any other GIT repo.
