<p class="intro">Self-hosted version control is great way to not be dependant of a third party to keep your git server up, or your code secure.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Install Git</h2>
|
|
<p>Many Unix operating systems have git installed by default, but if not it's a simple command.</p>
|
|
<pre><code>sudo apt install git</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Create a git user</h2>
|
|
<p>This user will be used to push/pull all your git repos</p>
|
|
<pre><code>sudo useradd -m git -d /srv/git -s /bin/bash</code></pre>
|
|
<p>Change <strong>/srv/git</strong> to the location you wish to hold your repositories.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Create a repo</h2>
|
|
<p>With the user, and directory created next you'll need to create a repo.</p>
|
|
<p><em>This step will need to be repeated for each new repo you create.</em></p>
|
|
<pre><code>git init --bare repo.git</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Enable SSH</h2>
|
|
<p>Next you'll need to set up SSH for the git user.</p>
|
|
<h3>Install and Enable SSH (If not already done)</h3>
|
|
<pre><code>sudo apt install ssh && sudo systemctl enable ssh --now</code></pre>
|
|
<h3>Create ssh key for git user</h3>
|
|
<pre><code>ssh-keygen -t ed25519</code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Use the git server</h2>
|
|
<p>With all the setup out the way, the git server is now usable as a remote for any of your git repos.</p>
|
|
<p>So on another PC...</p>
|
|
<h3>Add remote to existing repo</h3>
|
|
<pre><code>git remote add origin git@<your-server>:/<repo.git></code></pre>
|
|
<h3>Clone the repo</h3>
|
|
<pre><code>git clone git@<your-server>/:<repo.git></code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Different SSH port</h3>
|
|
<p>If you are using a different ssh port for your server hosting git, you'll need to add the following after the colon (:) to the two previous commands</p>
|
|
<pre><code><port></code></pre>
|
|
<p>Giving you something like this</p>
|
|
<pre><code>git clone git@<your-server>:<port>/<repo.git></code></pre>
|
|
|
|
<br/>
|
|
<p>From here you can use git as you would via any other provider, but with the knowledge that your remote is yours.</p>
