Bach's questions

I am trying to setup gitolite using the "directly on the server method" in the docs

Went through the entire setup, uploading the ssh public key etc... so now I can ssh git@myserver without prompting me for any passwords, all good.

I reached this step that I need to perform on my workstation, in my case a Mac OS

on the client, run cd; git clone git@server:gitolite-admin

running that is throwing this error:

Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/myLocalUser/gitolite-admin/.git/
bash: git-upload-pack: command not found
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

which tells me that it cannot find git-upload-pack, so I thought I would just have to add its path to the "git" user ".profile"

I just double checked and the path is there! if I:

ssh git@myServer

then call:

which git-upload-pack

I get the path as expected:

/usr/local/bin/git-upload-pack

What am I missing here?!

I can't seem to clone gitolite-admin, because of it keeps complaining about not being able t find git-upload-pack!!

I have a git repository hosted on my SunOS server, that I remotely use through ssh

git clone ssh://[email protected]/path/to/git

Now I need to add more users to be able to access that repository, but not sure how.

I have added one testUser to ssh, but I can't seem to limit that user privileges to only use git.

testUser is able to ssh through and browse the entire server.

How can I create users that can only access git remotely, to clone/pull/push etc...

thanks
