By following these steps, I moved my repositories from Codeberg to this website. I skipped a few parts since I authorized my ssh key under NearlyFreeSpeech's member profile page, and I don't have root access to create a git user.
Different directories can be made to separate the bare repos' files from the ones generated by stagit, but I prefer keeping them together. If you decide on using one folder, make sure that there are not any rules in .htaccess that automatically remove the .html extension so that refs.html is not redirected to the refs/ folder.
cd /home/public mkdir git cd $_ git init --bare test
On your machine, you can now git clone user@host:git/test or git remote add origin user@host:git/test in an already existing repo. To clone it read-only over HTTPS, mv hooks/post-update.sample hooks/post-update. It can run now instead of waiting to push with sh hooks/post-update.
I tried allowing access over the git protocol, but I got the error message below. Information on protocols are available here.
$ git clone git://riazj.com/git/riazj.com Cloning into 'riazj.com'... fatal: unable to connect to riazj.com: riazj.com[0: 2607:ff18:80:4::6db8]: errno=No route to host riazj.com[1: 208.94.117.16]: errno=Network is unreachable
Back on the host, install stagit.
cd /home/private git clone git://git.codemadness.org/stagit cd stagit make make install
I set PREFIX to ~/stagit in the makefile and ran the command below to include the executables in my PATH.
echo 'export PATH="/home/private/stagit/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
Copy your logo and favicon if needed and stagit/style.css to your git folder. Inside a repo, run the following commands to set the owner, description, and URL for cloning.
echo "Riaz" > owner echo "test repo" > description echo "https://riazj.com/git/test" > url
Modify stagit/example_post-receive.sh for your use case and place it at hooks/post-receive for each git repo. Consider symlinking it. I use this post-receive hook to generate the stagit pages in the same folders as the bare repos.
If you ran stagit on a repo and later change the description, running stagit again will not show this change on all files unless the commit folder was removed first. Alternatively, you can manually edit the HTML.
