Question

I have Ubuntu 10.04 server with redmine installed and also git is installed, I am using gitolite.

When I push to the server from users PC, all is ok, concerning git point of view. However to see the repository from redmine, every time I need to run: chmod o+rw -R /path/to/the/repository/folder and then I can see the repository from redmine. But this in annoying to do it every time I push to the server.

I thought to make a cron-job to do it automatically, however I don’t think is a clean solution.

Answer 1

git config core.sharedRepository all

From the git-config documentation:

When group (or true), the repository is made shareable between several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are group-writable). When all (or world or everybody), the repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being group-shareable. When umask (or false), git will use permissions reported by umask(2). When 0xxx, where 0xxx is an octal number, files in the repository will have this mode value. 0xxx will override user’s umask value (whereas the other options will only override requested parts of the user’s umask value). Examples: 0660 will make the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to others (equivalent to group unless umask is e.g. 0022). 0640 is a repository that is group-readable but not group-writable. See git-init(1). False by default.
