I'm now using Gitolite to manage the git repositories and all the users permissions stuff. Whenever I want to create a new repository I need to recall how to do it and I end up searching for it in Google. Today I've created a bash function and added it to my ~/.bashrc that does all the required stuff. After adding the corresponding entry to gitolite-admin/conf/gitolite.conf for the new git repository, these are the commands I use to create the repository: $ mkdir reponame
$ cd reponame
$ git init
$ git remote add origin git@gitolite:reponame.git Then, the function I've created ends up as: `function create_git_repo {
if [ "$1" == "" ] ; then
echo "[E] One arg is needed!"
else
echo "[!] Make sure you have already defined the repo in the conf/gitolite.conf file! (Ctrl+C if you haven't!)"
read i
mkdir ${1} && echo " * Directory successfully created!"
cd ${1}
git init
git remote add origin git@gitolite:${1}.git && echo " * remote origin added"
echo " * Remember to add some files and push with 'git push origin master:refs/heads/master'..."
fi
}
Now I can just typecreate_git_repo reponame` to create my new git repo both in my machine and in the gitolite server.
