Description-en: SSH-based gatekeeper for git repositories (version 3)
Gitolite is an SSH-based gatekeeper providing access control for a server that
hosts many git repositories. Without gitolite,
each developer needing to push to one of the repositories hosted would need a
user account on that server; gitolite lets you do that just using
SSH public keys tied to a single, common, user that hosts all the
repositories.
.
Gitolite can restrict who can read (clone/fetch) from or write
(push) to a repository, and who can push to what branch or tag - an
important issue in corporate environments. Other features include:
* access control by branch-name or by modified file/directory;
* per-developer "personal namespace" prefixes;
* simple but powerful configuration file syntax (with validation);
* config files (and authority for maintaining them) can be split;
* easy integration with gitweb;
* comprehensive logging;
* easy migration from gitosis.
