shared git repo (using ssh transport)
As a quick followup to my last post, here’s the steps I took to make my remote git repo usable by a group of developers, not just me:
/etc/group
After you’ve added accounts for everyone, make a group and add everyone to it. This line should look something like:
coders:x:114:bob,docyes,phillip
git repo-config
After creating the remote repo (git —bare init), we need to set the core.sharedRepository variable to “group” - this tells git to create directories and files with group-write permissions.
git repo-config core.sharedRepository group
fix permissions
Now that git will do the right thing, we need to fix the permissions on the existing files and directories.
sudo chgrp -R coders .
sudo chmod -R g+ws .
