My friends and I are trying to setup Git for Windows using the tutorial Git Server: Gitosis and Cygwin on Windows, but we just keep running into problems.
What would a "Setup Git Server" guide for Windows using msysgit be like?
There is a comment in the tutorial above suggesting it can't be done with msysgit because gitosis requires the use of an SSH Server and Bash? What is a step by step guide (as there is not one available)?
Install mysisgit
?
I am not sure why anyone hasn't suggested http://gitblit.com. Pure java based solution, allow HTTP protocol and really easy to setup.
I just wanted to add my experiences with the PATH setup that Steve and timc mentions above: I got permission problems using shell tools (like mv and cp) having Git's shell executables first in the path.
Appending them after the existing PATH instead this solved my problems. Example:
GITPATH='/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Git/bin'
GITCOREPATH='/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Git/libexec/git-core'
PATH=${PATH}:${GITPATH}:${GITCOREPATH}
I guess CopSSH doesn't go along well with all of msysgit's shell executables...
