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

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

• Setup the Remote Shared Repository
• Setup the Remote Server
• Limit Users Permissions

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.
