Setting up *Your Own* Git Server 

Setting a server? Just like for minecraft

>Github changes master to main >Luke sets up own git server Coincidence?

> using the newbie interactive perl script "adduser" instead of the standard unix binary "useradd" absolutely disgusting

only master branches? Didn't you hear, they are called main branches now.

>Is logged in as root >uses sudo

watching you instead of preparing for exam

I'm loving "Setting your own servers" series. We need more videos Luke!

Show us how to setup a Minecraft server.

Superb video, I followed along and had my very own dotfiles backed up to my private server in no time. Truly, thou art a scholar and a gentleman.

This channel has the best thumbnails

When are you going to do the "Create meme thumbnails without Photoshop" video

Luke moving to the woods so his slower internet will extend out his videos for more ad revenue

Luke use this CoC: 1. Write good code; 2. Don't sue me for any reason.

Imagine being a Gitcel. True chads write their own version control system with no dependencies.

If you want something a tad simpler, after you create the git user, you should be able to exit back to your local machine ssh-copy-id git@server enter password That should create your .ssh directory and authorized_keys file with your key and all the proper permissions.

Literally no one: Luke: "MY INTERNET IS EXTREMELY SLOW"

Another recommendation: gitea

With such painfully slow internet it might be worth setting up mosh so when you ssh into your server it doesn't feel slow and unresponsive.

WoW this is incredibly simple and easy, and you did great guiding that!

I was just thinking about this the other day. Based Luke reading my thoughts

Luke try mosh (mobile shell) instead of ssh, it doesn't wait for your server's response every time you type. It's literally made for people living in the woods

Can't wait for the next video!

i know the struggle about internet speeds while living in the middle of nowhere. i my self live in the mountains here in norway. about 1.5 km to the closest other human lol. and ive found that using 4g hotspot from my phone, with a unlimited data plan was the cheapest way to get online here. and i actually am up to 1mb/s now from where i was at 300kbs. kinda cool, plus its just one bill for my phone and internet now. totally worth the struggle to live away from all the chaos imo.

Is this because github is gonna stop using master terminology?

< 20 Mins videos, interesting and straight to the point material, no bullshit. I like your new format boy. you have skills. salute from Argentina

Luke. I did it. I switched to suckless on Arch and learned how to patch. And now I can't stop messing with my configs. On topic. I have been running my own git server for years. Still an informative video as usual. Take care, man. I did it!

Nice video, did you made the second part for it as well? Setting up the Web Interface for the Git Server?

cool. you should take a look at the git flow standard. it's just naming conventions for branches and dev workflow. there are actually scripts that do the git flow for you.

You are creating content I can CONSUUME a lot nowadays. You can chown a file for the group by appending the username with a dot. So chown git. makes the FILe owned by git group also.

Excellent stuff. Instant subscribe. Looking forward to your demo on stagit, too.

any possibility you could post the second video going through the process for making a web frontend? I have been going through hell with gitweb, teach us senpai

where is the git web interface setup video?

The 2nd part on this series, i.e., the part Luke explains how to setup a web frontend, is not yet uploaded, is it? At least I cant find it...

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Do you have plans to do one on adding the front end GUI anytime soon?

Hey, I'm not from the USA and we count on fingers differently. I knew English speaking cultures frequently start counting using the index finger and the thumb is the fifth, but is that only true for numbers 1 - 5? I thought it's the same on the left hand for 6-10 but you started counting 6 using your left thumb instead of the left index. @8:48 vs 8:53 anyway, thanks for the video, I'm working on my own independent infrastructure including my own git server

Thank you for this. Helped me understand some things I was curious about.

great video, thx, i setup my git server, and when i do "git push" it's push to github and to my "raspberrypi" this is crazy, never though this will be that easy to setup

Thanks for being a good boy before it became a thing. nice video!

You can set your alias to push `HEAD` instead of `--all`.

You totally need keybindings for moving your face around on a grid or something.

Thanks for your knownledge

Hi Luke Smith, thanks for the wonderful tutorial, I followed the same I am facing one issue. while cloning and pushing it is asking the password of the server. and I am unable to find the second part of this tutorial can you please help on this thanks

Hey man! Thanke you for your videos. In chromium you can find extension "vimium" - it help dont use mouse in browser. I think it save your time ;)

A video on technicalities of git bare repositority on managing the dot files would be awesome.

You make it sound so easy! wow

creating files on the server side seems a bit tedious maybe you can write some code to automatically create these files based on the repos name. And you could've just installed a gitlab server on your machine for this but I really wanna see how you'll manage it all, best of luck!

next...something about lxc/lxd and chroot environment?

No part 2?

just what I needed. thank you.

More videos like this Luke!

cgit is a pretty nice simple http git ui. would recommend.

it's "that" simple to install our own git server WOW, gonna try that on my raspberry pi, thx

Explained very well. Thank you. I have subscribed.

Thank you!

(Milton from Office Space:) I was told there would be a part two?

Would love to see a walkthrough on setting up a VPS!

Nice video :) It is very simple and clear. In next video it will be simple commit/branches reading app? It will have pull-request functionality?

Do you upload your videos with that internet connection?

8:45 Morgan Freeman: but it did take longer than 10 seconds

58 seconds gang

You never did the GitWeb part

Wouldn't hurt if you went through explaining the DNS records a bit, especially considering your latest video!

What happened to the follow up to this??

Thank you Sir,, this helped me a lot !!!

You can use gitolite to manage git repositories yourself

Next video Luke: How to set up your NASA base space station.

hey i am looking for the next video but i can't see it where is it ? And very nice video

I want to expose the git server online. how do i harden the endpoint so that it uses only ssh protocol is allowed. I cant see anything online on it.

Most of us developers have become accustomed to have a lot more than just Git... And it really is necessary if available. So, if we want self-hosted, then something like GitLab really is necessary. Unfortunately it is quite bloated (in terms of config management)... Their default setup runs chef in Docker! And if you question them about it they come up with all sorts of excuses...

Awesome dood.........

u can host gitLab, or now GiTea which looks alot like github

YES

Luke, when do you plan to make the stagit video?

When is part 2 coming?

thanks

Uhh, your diff for adding Aporcypha to kjv looks funny on your website...

This is good stuff!

I visited your website and i wonder... Did you read unabomber manifesto?

Since you're going to setup access over HTTP, I don't really get what was the point of creating a new git user as no one is going to use ssh and you haven't even put anything in the git user's home directory. Instead you have a folder in your /var/www that is owned by the git user instead of something like www-data for example which is needed for HTTP access. If you're enabling ssh login then you should disable the default bash shell and set the default shell as git-shell. Lastly, to create a new bare repository git init --bare repo.git is sufficient, no need to first create the directory, cd to it and then running git init.

0:30 did they use some kind of software to generate the git site? I've seen a lot of people's git site has the exact same layout and styles

how the hell do you upload every day???

Wheres your forum gone?

Hey Luke, thanks a lot for this video just did this for my local hp device, i was wondering is there a way i can make a ""Root folder" for all the repositories to automatically push to when i do "git push home master" so i can have '/var/www/git/' as the location at the end of the URL in gitconfig instead of '/var/www/git/project_name.git' or do i really need to use 'git remote add' every time? Thanks again i'm smiling like a maniac now i have a self-hosted repo! Edit: Also forgot to mention i REALLY love the idea to put in in /var/www/ as im building my little hp box into an offline backup of sorts, it already has map data, stack exchange, and a few other dumps that i can read offline, along with a a copy of the NHS site and pubmed database for if i need medical information but dont have internet.. a

GitBucket is rather nice, you should take a look at it as it's FOSS

You can also just use Docker and setup your own Gitlab....

Why use git? You get the little front end that you mention for free with fossil-scm.

any chance you make a video how to make a local git with gitolite administration;

How can i setup a alias to /var/www/git?

this follow up git web ui video is missing, i guess?

I see, luke still use MASTER branch, as a whitey, I get personally offended.

Use mosh instead of ssh, makes it easier

When is video 2?

You uploaded this right after I installled gitea. :(

can we connect this git server with our own Jenkins ?

If you haven't already, take a look at lazygit. Written in Go, SLOC 83. It's a git game changer. It's got an AUR package, or clone the repo and 'Go build' it. As always, thanks for your contributions.

Lmao. I also setup my own Github clone. I ended up using Gogs.

Sir can we see the code on server side pushed by devolpers??

where is the second part

Don't you use arch?

Is it possible to create multiple gitolite account in a server ?
