Overview

This module is used to configure gitolite and to configure git repositories and permissions.

Usage

To start using gitolite you need to include the gitolite main class.

A minimal example might be:

class{'gitolite':
  user     => 'gitolite',
  userhome => '/srv/gitolite',
}

The gitolite::admin class is only used if you like to do all admin work through puppet (like create new repos, users and permissions). If gitolite::admin is not included, you can use the admin git repo to do these tasks (feature of gitolite).

Reference

Find documentation about possible parameters on top of each manifest.
