back on the gitolite track
as root do the following:
root method
On your workstation:
copy your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub file to /tmp/YourName.pub on the server
On your server, as root:
git clone git://github.com/sitaramc/gitolite
cd gitolite
src/gl-system-install
# defaults to being the same as:
# src/gl-system-install /usr/local/bin /usr/local/share/gitolite/conf /usr/local/share/gitolite/hooks
# to upgrade gitolite, repeat the above commands. Make sure you use the
# same arguments for the last command each time.
# create your "hosting user" if not already created
useradd git
su - git
# (now as git)
gl-setup /tmp/YourName.pub
On your workstation:
git clone git@server:gitolite-admin
Note: things to look for:
The git user has to have ssh login ability, you may have to turn that on in the GUI, system preferences --> Sharing remote access
had to add a file for the git user:
.bashrc
containing:
$ cat .bashrc
export PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH:
#export PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH
export GIT_EXEC_PATH=/usr/libexec/git-core
# get the path with $ git --exec-path

needed help from this source too
http://www.justlogged.com/Question/1/5041067/4e549dc7aa65302b9e71c9941b815058/show
ran the following command (running google's binary install of git:
$ git --exec-path
/usr/libexec/git-core
my .bashrc file now looks like this
$ cat .bashrc
export PATH=:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH:
#export PATH=$(git --exec-path):$PATH
export GIT_EXEC_PATH=/usr/libexec/git-core
also important, I used the GUI in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to create the git user. The git user is not an administrator, therefore they were blocked from ssh, I had to manually add them to the users who could ssh in system preferences sharing.
instructions that worked from this source
http://lukhnos.org/blog/en/archives/162
- create in system preferences a user git, make the user an admin for a short while, undo this later
- create a group git, and add the user to the group
- for convenience, I also created a gitosisadmin admin user. (why? was this needed? perhaps to avoid making the git user admin and then removing it requiring a reboot.)
login as the gitosisadmin user and download gitosis.
ssh -l gitosisadmin localhost
$ which python
/usr/bin/python
$ which git
/usr/bin/git
$ pwd
/Users/gitosisadmin
$ git clone git://eagain.net/gitosis.git
$ cd gitosis/
$ sudo python setup.py install
create key if you don't have one
ssh-keygen -t rsa
copy key to a temp location so git user can read it
cp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /tmp/my_key.pub
$ sudo -H -u git gitosis-init < /tmp/eabolden.pub Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/ Reinitialized existing Git repository in /Users/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/
may need this:
make sure post update hook is executable.
sudo chmod 755 /Users/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hookspost-update
from a different account clone the admin repository
$ git clone git@your.server.com:gitosis-admin.git
Cloning into gitosis-admin...
