I am using apache, phusion passenger, mysql (i may switch to postgres, oracle, u know why…), git and gitosis on a ubuntu hardy machine.

Redmine has fine git integration. BUT – it can’t [yet] read from bare git repos, which you get with using gitosis as your git management tool. This is where the fun begins:

I assume that you already set up gitosis. (change the path to map your configuration)

So change your /home/git/repositories/<yourepo>/hooks/post-update file

[cc lang="bash"]

echo “Update server local copy…”

export GIT_DIR=$WORKDIR/.git

pushd $WORKDIR > /dev/null
git reset –hard
git pull
popd > /dev/null

WORKDIR=”/home/git/checkout/<yourrepo>”

/usr/bin/git-update-server-info

unset GIT_DIR

[/cc]

Well, it’s not perfect, maybe some people are more comfortable if the whole output is moved to /dev/null, but it works pretty well.

Don’t forget to create a _local git copy_ (via git clone git@localhost:<yourrepo>.git in /home/git/checkout (or whatever folder you prefer)

Comments on this are appreciated. It took me a while to figure that out…

If you are on github, you may like this instead.
