6 GWVP stands for "git over web via php". It was written entirely for myself and
7 its intention was to have a simple way of managing some git repos that can be
8 pulled and pushed to without the overhead of dealing with ssh keys. It also
9 allows the owner to give permissions to a repo such that you can control who
10 reads and writes to it. All access to a repo is via http/https using usernames
13 Currently the code-base is a bit messy but that will improve over time.
18 Note: the installation assumes the locations for things like "git" and
19 git-http-backened, if yours arent in the normal ubuntu locale for that then
20 you will need to edit a number of files to point it at the proper location
23 You'll need to add following packages:
26 sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite git apache2 php5-cli
29 Assuming you clone the repository into /opt/gwvp you will then need to make
30 some changes to the rewrite, apache and gwvp configuration (assuming /gwvp
35 This goes in /etc/apache2/conf.d/gwvp.conf
37 Alias /gwvp /opt/gwvp/www
39 <Directory /opt/gwvp/www>
40 DirectoryIndex index.php
47 Edit the file /opt/gwvp/www/.htaccess and change the top line to match your
58 in /opt/gwvp/www/config.php data directory is (by default) /opt/gwvp/data
59 This directory must be read/write by the apache user. The following will
60 give the apache user write access to the file system:
63 mkdir -p /opt/gwvp/data
64 sudo chown www-data:www-data /opt/gwvp/data
67 Done - now you should browse to http://yourmachine/gwvp and login as admin
68 or user with a password of "password". Hopefully the rest is fairly straight
69 forward and self-explanitory, but there will be a help system coming soon(tm)
