You're\ntalking about a hosting solution for git and you're not telling which\none you're using. If you want a better answer you need to provide more\ninformation.\n\n_Assuming_ you're using gitolite on Linux you can always use the root\naccount on the server to correct any mistakes you did in the gitolite\nconfiguration.\n\n> \n> I use git version 1.7.5.4\n\nWhat's the reason for using a 4 year old version? You're missing a lot\nof development. It's like using an iPhone 4s today instead of an iPhone\n6.\n\n-- \nFredrik Gustafsson\n\nphone: +46 733-608274\ne-mail: iveqy@iveqy.com\nwebsite: http://www.iveqy.com\n"},{"id":"265806","messageId":"20150708053846.GB7613@paksenarrion.iveqy.com","threadId":"39796","inReplyTo":"CAF1FN5BMTTatfTmVYjpKcqczefur3ETjbqyEk1vSmdruY82quw@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: ssh admin git accidentally deleted","fromName":"Fredrik Gustafsson","fromEmail":"iveqy@iveqy.com","sentAt":"2015-07-08T05:38:46Z","receivedAt":"2015-07-08T05:38:46Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"iveqy@iveqy.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/761743?v=4"},"body":"On Wed, Jul 08, 2015 at 12:32:42AM +0700, agnes retnaningsih wrote:\n> I use gitolite on linux.\n> he2nk is account that I delete on server where gitolite-admin is repository\n> to change gitolite configuration.

And you deleted he2nk from your gitolite-admin repository.\n\nYes you can revert this and you can also add he2nk again, whatever you\nlike. But as you've seen you can't do this with gitolite. You've to do\nthis directly on the server since you don't have access to edit the\ngitolite-admin repository (if I guess correct).\n\nPlease don't forget to CC the git-list.\n\n\n-- \nFredrik Gustafsson\n\nphone: +46 733-608274\ne-mail: iveqy@iveqy.com\nwebsite: http://www.iveqy.com\n"}]}
