HOWTO create GIT repository for Trac on Debian
Setting up a public GIT repository is a bit complicated when compare with my previous CVS experience. From 8 ways to share your git repository I choose to use gitosis as solution when combine with Trac. The following material are mainly based on Hosting Git repositories, The Easy (and Secure) Way. We will also install git-daemon-run for anonymous public access.
Install gitosis and related packages in Debian
Just simply run:
apt-get install gitosis git git-core git-daemon-run sudo
Create and initialize SSH key for gitosis
Next we should create the SSH public by:
hswong3i:~# sudo -H -u gitosis ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/srv/gitosis/.ssh/id_rsa):
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /srv/gitosis/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /srv/gitosis/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
fd:79:66:50:35:1e:29:9b:8a:f4:04:c1:4b:b0:b7:10 gitosis@hswong3i.edin.no-ip.com
The key's randomart image is:
+--[ RSA 2048]----+
| Eo.. oo|
| o+ ..oo|
| o..o =. |
| o+.. + |
| S.= o |
| . + o |

hswong3i:~#
Now initialize gitosis-admin repository with following command:
hswong3i:~# sudo -H -u gitosis gitosis-init
Setting up with gitosis.conf
Next is the magic of gitosis, run the following command under /tmp:
hswong3i:/tmp# git clone gitosis@localhost:gitosis-admin
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/gitosis-admin/.git/
The authenticity of host 'localhost (127.0.0.1)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 90:9f:31:e7:56:49:93:95:7f:67:11:6a:2a:eb:6e:ce.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes

hswong3i:/tmp# ls -la gitosis-admin/
total 20
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2010-09-22 12:52 .
drwxrwxrwt 6 root root 4096 2010-09-22 12:52 ..

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2010-09-22 12:52 keydir
hswong3i:/tmp#
You will get the directory gitosis-admin and let's edit the gitosis.conf as below:
[gitosis]
gitweb = yes
daemon = yes
loglevel = DEBUG
[group gitosis-admin]
writable = gitosis-admin
members = root@hswong3i.edin.no-ip.com
[group example.com]
writable = example.com
members = root@hswong3i.edin.no-ip.com
[repo example.com]
owner = example.com
description = example.com sample project repository.
Save the changes, commit and push it:
hswong3i:/tmp/gitosis-admin# git commit -a -m '- add example.com sample project repository.'
hswong3i:/tmp/gitosis-admin# git push
Create and initialize the new repository
Its time to create and initialize our new repository:
hswong3i:/tmp# cd /tmp/
hswong3i:/tmp# mkdir example.com
hswong3i:/tmp# cd example.com/
hswong3i:/tmp/example.com# git init
hswong3i:/tmp/example.com# git remote add origin gitosis@localhost:example.com.git
hswong3i:/tmp/example.com# touch README.txt
hswong3i:/tmp/example.com# git add README.txt
hswong3i:/tmp/example.com# git commit -a -m '- add README.txt.'
hswong3i:/tmp/example.com# git push origin master:refs/heads/master
Check the result:
hswong3i:/tmp/example.com# git log
Create and initialize new Trac project with GIT support
Here I will just skip the installation of Trac and assume you have get it up correctly. It is a bit complicated and so will not detail here. I am using WSGI now and all sites are hosted under /srv/trac/sites
Let's create a new project for trac now. Go to /srv/trac/sites and create a new Trac project directory:
hswong3i:~# mkdir -p /srv/trac/sites/example.com
hswong3i:~# cd /srv/trac/sites/example.com
hswong3i:/srv/trac/sites/example.com# trac-admin . initenv
During the interactive installation, answer some key question as below:
Repository type [svn]> git
Path to repository [/path/to/repos]> /srv/gitosis/repositories/example.com.git
Assume you have setup support with GIT correctly, now your new Trac project should able to browse with the GIT repository. Enjoy :D

Can you format this so that the line breaks show up properly?
The link on this page was useful though! They have a nice guide.
Thanks!
