# Administrate source hosting


## Special strings

NB! This documentation includes the following special strings
used e.g. when generating a documentation website:

gitshellhost: git.example.org


## Prerequisites

Clone the gitolite3 settings repository:

	git clone git@git.example.org:gitolite-admin


## Web export

edit the file gitolite.conf
to add a section for each git repository it should host,
defining access rights,
and passing hints to a server-side export hook.


### Simple web hosting

E.g. like this for an example repository "foobar",
with a simple web export of the git branch "main":

```
repo foobar
    RW+     =   @all
    option ENV.WEB_BRANCH = main
```


### Ikiwiki web hosting

```
repo some-iki-site
    RW+     =   @all
    option ENV.WEB_BRANCH = main
    option ENV.WEB_BRANCH = main
```
