| 1. Create the remote repo: | |
| $ cd /path/to/gitolite/admin/repo | |
| $ gedit conf/gitolite.conf | |
| To this file, add an entry like: | |
| repo <new-repo> | |
| RW+ = <gitolite-username> | |
| $ git commit -a -m "Added repository <new-repo>" | |
| $ git push | |
| 2. Put the local code under git control: | |
| $ cd /path/to/current/work | |
| $ git init | |
| $ git add . | |
| $ git commit -m "First commit of existing work" | |
| 3. Add the remote repo as origin: | |
| $ git remote add origin <gitolite-main-user>@<host>:<new-repo>.git | |
| 4. Push the code to the remote: | |
| $ git push -u origin master | |
| (-u configures git so that subsequent push/pull commands work without specifying the remote or branch) | |
