What is Mini Meta Git?
===============================================================================

I got tired of trying to make gitosis do what I want it to do, so this is a set
of scripts that do everything I need for my git repository management. I didn't
need any of the fine grained permissions for my repos, I just wanted something
that would authenticate based on ssh public keys. I also happen to have a few
post-receive hooks that need to ssh in to other servers, and gitosis's git user
really doesn't play nice with sshing elsewhere.

Basically, all this adds on top of a normal git server is authentication (NOT
authorization or permissions) via the mini-meta-admin repo, which is just a repo
containing ssh public keys. It let's you take care of the rest without getting
in your way.

Really simple, but that's all I want.


Installation
================================================================================

Creating the git user and authentication repository
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$ sudo ./makegituser
$ sudo ./makeauthrepo
$ sudo ./tempinstallfirstkey $PATH_TO_YOUR_KEY.pub

Cloning the authentication repository and permanently adding your public key
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$ git clone git@yourdomain.com:mini-meta-admin.git
$ cd mini-meta-admin
$ cp $PATH_TO_YOUR_KEY.pub .
$ git add *
$ git commit -m "Initial commit, adding my public key forreal-sies"
$ git push origin master


Repository Management and Administration
================================================================================

Authentication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To give a user access to your repositories, just add their ssh public key to
your mini-meta-admin repository and run `git push origin master`.

To remove a user's access, just remove their ssh public key from the
mini-meta-admin repo and `git push origin master`.

That is all there is to it.

Adding/Creating Repositories
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FIRST create a "repositories" file in your mini-meta-admin repository, if you do
not already have one. Append the names of the repo(s) you wish to create/host to
the "repositories" file on individual lines. Run `git push origin master` to
sync the git user with your mini-meta-admin configurations.

IF YOU ARE CREATING NEW REPOSITORIES you can now checkout the empty repo(s) you
just created, via `git clone git@your_domain.com:your_repo.git`. Make commits,
have fun, `git push origin master`.

IF YOU ARE ADDING EXISTING REPOSITORIES you can now `git remote add REMOTE_NAME
git@your_domain.com:your_repo.git` to add the newly created repo as a remote to
your existing repo, and `git push REMOTE_NAME --all` to sync the new remote with
your repository.

Deleting Repositories
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not yet implemented. Just do it via sudo.
