The last couple of days I’ve been playing around with git and setup my own git server using first gitosis and then gitolite. When playing around I created a lot of different test repositories to make sure everything work. To stop repeating myself I created three minor bash functions to make it easier to add repositories in gitocline. The script I ended up with are the following:
ar() {
if [ "$1" == "" ] ; then echo "[E] One arg is needed!"; return 1;
else
cd ~/<some path to your>/gitolite-admin/conf
echo -e "" >> gitolite.conf
echo -e "repo ${1}" >> gitolite.conf
echo -e "RW+ = <your gitolite username>" >> gitolite.conf
cd ..
git commit -am "Added repo ${1}"
git push
fi
}
sr() {
if [ "$1" == "" ] ; then echo "[E] One arg is needed!"; return 1;
else
mkdir <path to where you have your repositories>/${1}
cd <path to where you have your repositories>/${1}
git init
git remote add origin gitolite@e2n.no:${1}
touch README
git add .
git commit -am "Initial commit"
git push origin master
fi
}
cr() {
if [ "$1" == "" ] ; then echo "[E] One arg is needed!"; return 1;
else
ar ${1}
sr ${1}
fi
}
It is somewhat static code, but I’m not that likely to change where I have the folders on my local computer anyway. I should probably mention that these three functions are stored in the .bashrc file and that I assumes you have checked out the gitolite-admin repository. Let us walk through the three functions.
- ar (short for add repository): will navigate to the configuration folder for gitolite and add the repository plus read and write access for a user name (should probably use a group instead). It will also commit the changes and push them to the server to create the repository.
- sr (short for set up repository): will first create a folder for the repository, then initialize git in that folder, add a remote to your new repository and make an initial commit and push.
- cr (short for create repository): will execute both the above functions.
This will allow us to create a repository and set it up on our local machine by running
$ cr repository_name
That’s all.

i tried the following script all what it made that update the gitolite.conf file with the new repo and commits the changes to the gitolite server but didn’t create the repo there. and when run it from java application gives I/O exception.
createNewRepository() {
$PATH=$2 cd $PATH/conf echo -e "" >> gitolite.conf echo -e "repo ${1}" >> gitolite.conf echo -e "RW+ = $3" >> gitolite.conf cd $PATH git add . git commit -am "Added repo ${1}" git push
fi
}
the output after running the command “createNewRepository testRepo /home/gasser/gitolite-admin Demo “

You could try to implement my commands on your server where you have your java application and then use your java application to execute those commands. Hard to say what you are doing wrong. It also seems like you fails to connect to the host.
hi, sorry i didn’t make the server up as i was virtual box server and this is the result after running it. but the massages for no such file or directory that blocks the java program.

Are you using the scripts in my example? I would suggest you to try them out first one by one so you get them to work. After that I would implement the java program as a wrapper if you need it. When implementing the java program I would suggest you to implement three different methods the same way as I did.
thanks Tomas,
it is solved by making the paths exported in the bashrc file to be defined variables ‘exported’ in the .bashrc file.
