I'm trying to get up and running gitolite as the instructions said at this http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/qi.html but when I run the command:

[git@devserver gitolite]$ src/gitolite install -ln FATAL: errors found before logfile could be created FATAL: die unknown gitolite sub-command

I get the errors above, what I'm doing wrong? I create the git user as:

useradd -d /data/gitrepos git

And then cd to /data/gitrepos and clone the gitolite repo with the following command:

git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite

Any advice? Cheers and thanks in advance

As mentioned in the sources of gitolite install:

Simplest use, if $HOME/bin exists and is in $PATH, is:

git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite gitolite/install -ln

So make sure your $HOME/bin exists and is in $PATH.

  • Hi, @vonc $HOME/bin doesn't exists but /bin yes. So if the directory, $HOME/bin not exists, what will be the next step? Run the command gitolite setup -pk /path/to/YourName.pub? I'm a bit lost here! Commented Jun 27, 2012 at 12:49
  • @ReynierPM is it possible for you to create $HOME/bin? I always prefer a local installation to a system (owned by root) installation. Commented Jun 27, 2012 at 13:49
  • yes it's possible in fact I create the $HOME/bin directory and now I've installed and thanks for your support. Now I need to learn git a bit ;) Commented Jun 27, 2012 at 17:50
