<p>Quick guide on how to set up a git server with stagic html website.</p>
<hr>
<h2>What you will need 📋</h2>
<ul>
<li>A computer with Linux 🐧🖥️</li>
<li>A VPS with Linux instaled 🐧🗄️</li>
<li>Some terminal knowlage 🧠</li>
<li>Ideally have a domain name</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h3>1) Install Git</h3>
<blockquote>
<p># sudo apt install git</p>
</blockquote>
<hr>
<h3>2) Create Git user</h3>
<blockquote>
<p># adduser git</p>
</blockquote>
<hr>
<h3>3) Now you need to add your SSh keys</h3>
<p>On computer</p>
<blockquote>
<p>$ ssh-copy-id git@server_ip</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you want to allow other people to use your Git server, add their SSH keys alongside yours.</p>
<p>On server:</p>
<blockquote>
<p># su git<br>
$ cd<br>
$ mkdir .ssh && chmod 700 .ssh<br>
$ touch .ssh/authorized_keys && chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys</p>
</blockquote>
<hr>
<h3>4) Nearly done, now all you need to do is make a git repo.</h3>
<blockquote>
<p># mkdir -p /srv/git<br>
# chown git:git /srv/git<br>
# su git<br>
$ cd /srv/git<br>
$ mkdir yourrepo.git<br>
$ cd yourrepo.git<br>
$ git init --bare</p>
</blockquote>
<hr>
<h3>5) Add your server to your local repo</h3>
<p>On computer</p>
<blockquote>
<p>$ cd yourrepo<br>
$ git init<br>
$ git add .<br>
$ git commit -m 'Initial commit'<br>
$ git remote add origin git@gitserver:/srv/git/project.git<br>
$ git push origin master</p>
</blockquote>
<p>If you already have a Git repository from another server, you can do the following to add your new Git server alongside your old one.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>$ cd yourrepo<br>
$ git remote add server git@gitserver:/srv/git/project.git<br>
$ git push server master && git push origin master</p>
</blockquote>
<hr>
<h3>6) If you want to enable anybody to clone from your website do the following!</h3>
<blockquote>
<p># sudo git daemon --reuseaddr --base-path=/srv/git/ /srv/git/ &<br>
# sudo systemctl enable git-daemon<br>
# sudo systemctl start git-daemon<br>
# su git<br>
# touch /srv/git/project.git/git-daemon-export-ok</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Cloning your git repo</p>
<blockquote>
<p>git clone git://your-server-ip-address/repository.git</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now you should be able to be able to clone without a ssh key!</p>

<h1>Setting up Stagit for personal git website</h1>
<p>Now that you have a Git server, you probably want a way to show off all of your repositories. I personally use Stagit for this because it is lightweight and stylish. I will assume you know how to make a website using Apache or Nginx.</p>
<hr>
<h3>1) First you need to install stagit (I have my own custom fork to make it easier to setup)</h3>
<blockquote>
<p># cd /var/www<br>
# git clone git://shipwreckt.co.uk/Stagit.git<br>
# mkdir git<br>
# chown git:git git<br>
# mv stagit-fork/* git<br>
# cd git<br>
# sudo make clean install</p>
</blockquote>
<hr>
<h3>2) Setup website.</h3>
<blockquote>
<p># cd htmldir<br>
# sh example_create.sh</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Your static stagit website should be generated for you! Check by going to git.yourdomain.com.</p>
<hr>
<h3>3) Next you want to set up ownership, links, and descriptions for stagiit to display</h3>
<p>Descriptions</p>
<blockquote>
<p># This is my git repo > /srv/git/yourrepo.git/description</p>
</blockquote>
<p>URL</p>
<blockquote>
<p># git://yourdomain.com/yourrepo.git > /srv/git/yourrepo.git/url</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Owner</p>
<blockquote>
<p># owner > /srv/git/yourrepo.git/owner</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Update stagit</p>
<blockquote>
<p># sh /var/www/git/htmldir/example_create.sh</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now repete for all of your repos till all is correct!</p>
<hr>
<h3>3) Now you want it so stagit updates whenever there is an update, thankfully for you I have modified the script to work whenever a git commit is made!</h3>
<blockquote>
<p># cp /var/www/git/example_post-receive.sh /srv/git /srv/git/yourgitrepo.git/hooks/post-receive</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Now whenever you push a commit everything should update!</p>
<hr>
