Git server

We are hosting git server: gitolab.csc.ncsu.edu

It hosts GIT repositories for faculty, staff, and CSC students to support research, classes activities.

Authentication is done using ssh public key authentication.

Fine-grained access control allows:

• read access at repo level to many git repositories
• write access at the branch/tag/file/directory level, including who can rewind, create, and delete branches/tags

This service is powered by Gitolite.

Repository Requests

To request a repo please send the following information:

• Name, description, owner, userlist and ssh public key (OpenSSH format) as a file unityid.pub for each user.

repo supercalifragilisticexpialidociousalgorithm
    RW+      = mpoppins
    RW       = bert jane michael
    R        = gitweb daemon
