Set up a network in Git for collaborative work

You can see Gitblit , it's a server for repositories developed in java, so it can be used in windows, linux and mac (even in others) ) also has a WAR version, which can be displayed in a container of Java applications.

It's really easy to configure and use, and it has the basic features that everyone needs

• Create users
• Tags
• Activities window
• Pull-Request
• A code-diff
• Possibility of integrating ticket services like thebuggenie

You can see a demo here

Translation of the installation of the GO version

  

• Download and unzip Gitblit GO 1.7.1 (Windows) or 1.7.1 (Linux / OSX). It is best to delete spaces in the name of the route.

  

• If the server is configured through a simple text file. Open the data/gitblit.properties file in your text editor   favorite and be sure to check and adjust: • server.httpPort and    server.httpsPort • server.storePassword (do not type # characters)

  

• git.packedGitLimit (fixed larger than the size of your largest repository)

  

• Run authority.cmd or java -cp gitblit.jar com.gitblit.authority.Launcher - database folder data from a line   Command

       
  • Fill in the fields in the new certificate defaults dialog
    
  • Enter the warehouse password used in server.storePassword when prompted. This generates a   SSL certificate for localhost.
    
  • You might want to generate an SSL certificate for the hostname or ip address hostnames that you are serving as NOTE:   You can only have an SSL certificate specified for a port.
    
  • Exit the application of authority
    
  
• Run gitblit.cmd or java -jar gitblit.jar - baseFolder data from a command line
  
• Open your browser to http://localhost:8080 or https://localhost:8443 depending on the chosen configuration.
  
• Enter the default administrator credentials: admin / admin and click on the button Start session
  

NOTE: Be sure to change the username and / or administrator password !!

Translation of the WAR version

  

• Download Gitblit WAR 1.7.1 to the webapps folder of your servlet container. [1 see note below]
  
• You may have to manually extract the WAR (zip file) to a folder within the webapps folder.
  
• By default, the Gitblit web application is configured through WEB-INF/ data/gitblit.properties . Open    WEB-INF/data/gitblit.properties in your favorite text editor and   Be sure to check and adjust: git.packedGitLimit (fixed larger   than the size of your largest repository)      
• You may have to restart the servlet container.
  
• Open your browser in http://localhost/gitblit or the address of your application container.
  
• Enter the default administrator credentials: admin / admin and click on the Sign in button
     

NOTE: Be sure to change the username and / or administrator password !!

Note 1: Glassfish or Apache Tomcat should work as a container, you can see its installation in the following tutorials:

• Apache tomcat video
• Galssfish Tutorial

Git can work like this without other software. There are three protocol options you can use, according to Pro Git :

• HTTP / S
• SSH
• Git Protocol

In your case, the Git protocol may be the most reasonable, because it is part of git, and so does not require other software.

  

The Git protocol is a special daemon, which is incorporated with Git. Listen for a dedicated port (9418), and give us a service similar to that of the SSH protocol; but without any authentication.

If you want authentication, you can consider using SSH.

The chapter Git on a server , from the Pro book Git , explains how to install git to use the git protocol, and SSH.

It is important to understand that this only serves as a server for Git; does not include the web interface like GitHub. Therefore, there are several options, such as GitLab , GitHub Enterprise , and others. There are also options with simpler web interfaces, such as GitWeb , which you can use in conjunction with your server. Git. But I can not make a specific recommendation for these, because the best option for you depends a lot on your case, your budget, and your preferences.

Dear you can use Gitolite
