I currently use SVN over HTTPS/Dav using the access.conf to be able to control which uses can read/write to the repos or given branches. Ideally I am looking for tools that enable me to do the same with git. Regards. ``` ## Konstantin Khomoutov, 2011-08-30 12:22 Subject: Re: Pointers to setup an internal git repository with access control Message-ID: <20110830162223.1cbf9f98.kostix@domain007.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20110830162223.1cbf9f98.kostix%40domain007.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Tue, 30 Aug 2011 08:01:44 -0400 robert mena wrote: > I am trying to migrate from SVN to git and so I am looking for tools > that help me create an interal repository.

Possibly look at smart http protocol [1], [2]. I may be wrong, but this access method cannot be used to implemet access control with branch-level granularity. If you really need this, use gitolite [3]. 1. http://progit.org/2010/03/04/smart-http.html 2. http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-http-backend.html 3. https://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite ``` ## robert mena, 2011-08-30 12:35 Subject: Re: Pointers to setup an internal git repository with access control Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAAZ43xYhFQzBVmjfnvRoboNPQ1OLtyq57%3D0ZL3B6p%2BdRWnJZ-g%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20110830162223.1cbf9f98.kostix@domain007.com> ``` Hi, Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look. I don't have to use https+dav, it can be ssh as long as it is encrypted and I have some sort of access control. The branches item is to be able to control who can merge/commit things back to, for example, the trunk or whatever I call the "live" branch. This way the devs can do what they want but the final merge to the "live" branch would be done after the Q&A approves.

Go for gitolite then. ``` ## Magnus Bäck, 2011-08-30 18:33 Subject: Re: Pointers to setup an internal git repository with access control Message-ID: <20110830183346.GA14605@jpl.local> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20110830183346.GA14605%40jpl.local In-Reply-To: ``` On Tuesday, August 30, 2011 at 14:01 CEST, robert mena wrote: > I am trying to migrate from SVN to git and so I am looking for tools > that help me create an interal repository.
