Git is a distributed revision control system with an emphasis on speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows. Git was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development in 2005, and has since become the most widely adopted version control system for software development.
As with most other distributed revision control systems, and unlike most client–server systems, every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full version-tracking capabilities, independent of network access or a central server. Like the Linux kernel, Git is free software distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2.
In this tutorial let me show you how to install gitblit server. The recent stable release of gitblit is 1.6.2. Gitblit is an open-source, pure Java stack for managing, viewing, and serving Git repositories. It’s designed primarily as a tool for small workgroups who want to host centralized repositories.
mkdir -p /opt/gitblit; cd /opt/gitblit; wget http://dl.bintray.com/gitblit/releases/gitblit-1.6.2.tar.gz
List the directory:
root@vps124229 [/opt/gitblit]# ls ./                     docs/                gitblit-stop.sh*           LICENSE             service-ubuntu.sh* ../                    ext/                 install-service-centos.sh* migrate-tickets.sh* add-indexed-branch.sh* gitblit-1.6.2.tar.gz install-service-fedora.sh* NOTICE authority.sh*          gitblit.jar          install-service-ubuntu.sh* reindex-tickets.sh* data/                  gitblit.sh*          java-proxy-config.sh*      service-centos.sh*
The default configurations in this file
data/gitblit.properties
you can change it to your need.
Start gitblit server with:
Via service:
root@vps124229 [/opt/gitblit]# cp service-centos.sh /etc/init.d/gitblit root@vps124229 [/opt/gitblit]# chkconfig --add gitblit root@vps124229 [/opt/gitblit]# service gitblit start Starting gitblit server .
Start it manually:
root@vps124229 [/opt/gitblit]# java -jar gitblit.jar --baseFolder data 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ] ***************************************************************** 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ]            _____ _ _   _     _ _ _ 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ]           | __ \(_)| | | |   | |(_)| | 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ]           | | \/ _ | |_ | |__ | | _ | |_ 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ]           | | __ | || __|| '_ \ | || || __| 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ]           | |_\ \| || |_ | |_) || || || |_ 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ]            \____/|_| \__||_.__/ |_||_| \__| 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ]                         Gitblit v1.6.2 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ] 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ] ***************************************************************** 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ] Running on Linux (3.8.13-xxxx-grs-ipv6-64-vps) 2015-01-10 09:16:53 [INFO ] Logging initialized @842ms 2015-01-10 09:16:54 [INFO ] Using JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files 2015-01-10 09:16:54 [INFO ] Setting up HTTPS transport on port 8443 2015-01-10 09:16:54 [INFO ]   certificate alias = localhost 2015-01-10 09:16:54 [INFO ]   keyStorePath  = /opt/gitblit/data/serverKeyStore.jks 2015-01-10 09:16:54 [INFO ]   trustStorePath = /opt/gitblit/data/serverTrustStore.jks 2015-01-10 09:16:54 [INFO ]   crlPath       = /opt/gitblit/data/certs/caRevocationList.crl 2015-01-10 09:16:54 [INFO ] Shutdown Monitor listening on port 8081 2015-01-10 09:16:54 [INFO ] jetty-9.2.3.v20140905 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] NO JSP Support for /, did not find org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] ----[com.gitblit.manager.IRuntimeManager]---- 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Basefolder : /opt/gitblit/data 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Settings   : /opt/gitblit/data/gitblit.properties 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] JVM timezone: America/Montreal (EST -0500) 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] App timezone: America/Montreal (EST -0500) 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] JVM locale : en_US 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] App locale : <client> 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] PF4J runtime mode is 'deployment' 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Enabled plugins: [] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Disabled plugins: [] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] ----[com.gitblit.manager.INotificationManager]---- 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [WARN ] Mail service disabled. 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] ----[com.gitblit.manager.IUserManager]---- 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] ConfigUserService(/opt/gitblit/data/users.conf) 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] ----[com.gitblit.manager.IAuthenticationManager]---- 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] External authentication disabled. 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] ----[com.gitblit.transport.ssh.IPublicKeyManager]---- 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] FileKeyManager (/opt/gitblit/data/ssh) 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] ----[com.gitblit.manager.IRepositoryManager]---- 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Repositories folder : /opt/gitblit/data/git 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Identifying repositories... 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 0 repositories identified with calculated folder sizes in 11 msecs 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Lucene will process indexed branches every 2 minutes. 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Garbage Collector (GC) is disabled. 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Mirror service is disabled. 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Alias UTF-9 & UTF-18 encodings as UTF-8 in JGit 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Preparing 14 day commit cache. please wait... 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 0 repositories identified with calculated folder sizes in 0 msecs 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] built 14 day commit cache of 0 commits across 0 repositories in 2 msecs 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] ----[com.gitblit.manager.IProjectManager]---- 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] ----[com.gitblit.manager.IFederationManager]---- 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] ----[com.gitblit.manager.IGitblit]---- 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Starting services manager... 2015-01-10 09:16:55 [INFO ] Federation passphrase is blank!
