Hello git users and writers!

I am new to git, but, having read manuals and grasping the concepts of it, I would like to first say thanks to all those, who created it!

Things would be fine, but I am having really bad ssh permission problems in here: for example, if there is an empty, initialised git archive and it is pulled to over ssh, the created files have permissions only u=rwX, no more. Then subsequently git pulling doesn't work. Maybe you know how to solve it?

Also, in general, how can it be set up, that >1 people have a write access to the same repository? Only by using the same login?

Kind regards, Kārlis

Probably your umask is doing this? When you locally create a file (e.g. "touch foo"), does it then only have "-rwx------" as well?

Have a look at the "--shared" option of "git init". That's supposed to create shared repositories, i.e. all users of the same group have write access. I'm not exactly sure how to make an existing repo "shared" after it's been created, but

$ git config core.sharedrepository 1

(which modifies .git/config) and a reasonable chown/chmod -R afterwards should work.

Hope this helps,

I have also had good experiences with POSIX ACLs for sharing repositories:

  setfacl -R -m d:u:$user:rwX -m u:$user:rwX /path/to/repo

which gets rid of dealing with group management. Of course your filesystem has to support them. :)

That's the best way, of course. We use it at work to have 'release' repositories where only a dedicated maintainer and his deputy can push to. Our developers push to their 'public' repos and the maintainer then pulls their changes and pushes them to 'release' -- just like Junio does here :-)

No, at client its allright with umask (well, in bash, not konqueror). Where from is sftp-server receiving its file permission bits for the new files? Maybe some way to change it?

Someone else knows? That would be useful...

Hello,

If you are not concerned about security, just make your repository public:
