  • Git own serwer: How To Protect master Branch?

    From =?UTF-8?B?8J+HtfCfh7FKYWNlayBNYXJjaW4gSmF3b3Jza2nwn4e18J+HsQ==?=@jmj@energokod.gda.pl to comp.programming,comp.os.linux.misc,alt.os.linux on Fri Apr 17 08:00:54 2026

    Hello!

    I wish to know: How to correctly setup my own git serwer with access via
    ssh for small programmers team? I wish configure git server in the way
    that only team leader can merge in to master branch. I know git command,
    but I don't know how can I protect master branch on vanilla git server.
    NOTE: I want to avoid github.com nor gitlab.com.

    Thanks in advance!

    Setting up ssh on port 22 was a little involved, but I can explain a way
    to do it if you are interested.

    It is a bit irritating when you mess with followups.

    Thanks for answer. But on the above linked WWW site there is no info
    about the Gitea proj. - if it is home page then it explain exactly
    nothing. Gitolite WWW site, linked by Lawrence D’Oliveiro
    <ldo@nz.invalid>, is much more user friendly and it is much more self explanatory.

    I no mess, but I just follow up netiquette:

    NOTE: Links in references lead in to Netiquette related sites - this is
    prove that crossposting is part of it.

    Thank you for the link! But Gitea seems to be another github.com or gitlab.com, so it is not meet my requirements, quote:

    github.com and gitlab.com are sites that host git repos. gitlab can
    also be self-hosted; you can set up your own instance.

    gitea is software that lets you self-host a git service.

    <https://about.gitea.com/products/>

    I haven't used it.

    I have git repos on my home system, accessed via ssh, with no extra
    software required. I'm the only one using them, so I don't know
    whether it would meet your requirements. I'm not entirely clear
    on what your requirements are.

    also be self-hosted; you can set up your own instance.

    gitea is software that lets you self-host a git service.

    I've used but Gitea and Gitlab self hosted. Gitea is much lighter on
    resources (RAM) and I think much quicker. I switched maybe 5 years ago.

    Jacek wanted specific branch permissions, which AIUI plain git does not provide.

    The docker version of Gitea is easy to install and runs fine on my rPi4.

    You can lead a horse to water...
