Hey guys.
As a fresh git user, I tried to install git on a server following this guide. For... like 3 days in a row.
Here was the problems:
I followed that guide exactly. But when I came to 'Creating new repositories' section i was blocked. I simply can't understand how can you add users to a project. I mean, ok, I need a SSH key. But for all users? Or just for admin? If is for all users, how can I add another user?
The second question is still for that... 'chapter'. The example is like this:
[group myteam]
members = jdoe
writable = free_monkey
Ok, i can add a member, called jdoe. But.. What is that name? Where do i get that name? Is my local cygwin user? Is a linux user? My cygwin user is some kind of email address. If that is the user, how can I add more users? I mean how can I find out what any other users are out there ?
So after few days of trying and trying and... trying, I kinda quit because i found a great virtual machine appliance from turnkey. But the problem was... I didn't know how to add projects! I searched on their site, i founded a script that add projects (the script is giving me and error, btw, but it works) but i'm back to square one: how the hell I add more users? Because right now is a public server, with full rights. Is not a big problem right now because i run it in a virtual machine and it's only local.
Maybe you ask me why I don't use that VM? Because I kinda want to put it online and give access to several persons. So I think to move it to my VPS. But because i didn't succeed to install in a VM, I sincerely doubt that I can install in a VPS.
Please be gentle because I'm totally noob on both git AND linux config. Also, please don't suggest me to move on github.
Thanks!
