1 git-daemon-sysvinit for Debian
2 ------------------------------
4 This package enables a git-daemon service. This allows people to use a
5 git:// URL to access your repositories.
7 After installing this package, the daemon needs to be enabled in
8 /etc/default/git-daemon by setting:
10 GIT_DAEMON_ENABLE=false
14 GIT_DAEMON_ENABLE=true
16 After that, the git daemon can be started with:
18 # /etc/init.d/git-daemon start
20 The git daemon by default looks into the directory /var/lib/git/ for
21 repositories (this is configured in /etc/default/git-daemon). It expects
22 the repositories' .git subdirectories in that directory, symlinks
23 pointing to the corresponding subdirectories in the repositories are just
26 ln -s ~daniel/git/foo/.git /var/lib/git/foo.git
28 This makes 'git-clone git://git.example.org/git/foo' to clone the foo
29 repository on remote machines work.
