Augeas lense for gitolite.conf

Overview

This is an augeas lens that is used to manage a gitolite.conf file. There are still some additional challenges to managing the gitolite.conf file since it resides in the gitolite-admin repo. The best way to use this lens is in conjunction with your own custom script to clone and push the gitolite-admin repo before/after changes.

Documentation

Usage

augeas-gitolite by default looks for files in the following locations:

• /home/*/gitolite-admin/conf/gitolite.conf
• /var/lib/gitolite3/gitolite-admin/conf/gitolite.conf

The /home/*/gitolite-admin filter is useful for managing a gitolite config that you have checked out in a home directory. One handy way to use this is by cloning the gitolite-admin repo in the home directory of the user you have setup for gitolite. You can then use augeas-gitolite to manage the config and gitolite push to apply the changes without the need for any additional ssh connections.
