Setup A Git Shared Read/write Remote Server for Team Development

October 14, 2011 | By Duchateaux.

Prerequisite is to have SSH access into your Domain.
Steps:

  1. Setup the Remote Shared Repo
    scp -P yourSSHPort -r sharedProject.git yourUserName@yourDomain:/path/To/Repo
    ssh yourUserName@yourDomain
    cd pathToRepo/sharedProject.git
    git init --bare
  2. Setup the Remote Server
    ssh -p yourSSHPort yourUserName@yourDomain
    cd ~
    mkdir .ssh

    Each user need to Generate a SSH Public Key and send you by email.
    To append the ssh keys your receive from the Team’s members:

    cat path/To/id_rsa.userName.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

    Or if the send you only the file content when you copy and paste inside the authorized_keys file you need to check that the Pasted content is all in One unique Line without returns.

  3. Limit Users Permissions
    pico /etc/passwd

    Modify the line containit “git:x:1000:1000…” as it look like:

    git:x:1000:1000::/home/git:/usr/bin/git-shell

    This will limit User’s Power to Git Operations and Prevent the SSH Access to Shell.

  4. Check this..

After this Setup the Generic User can Begin to Develop on his Local Machine like:

cd path/To/userProject
git clone yourUserName@yourDomain:/path/To/Repo/sharedProject.git

After he make some Changes and want to Push to Remote Repo:

git commit -am 'description'
git push origin master
