GITOLITE-MAN(1)

✨ NAME ✨

gitolite — bestie, it's literally the gatekeeper for your git repositories 💅👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gitolite sub-command [option...]

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so here's the tea ☕ — you've got a whole lil squad of built-in subcommands and they're all ready to serve. and listen, every single one of them should respond to -h if you want the full lore on it, no cap 👇

setup                       1st run: initial setup; all runs: hook fixups
compile                      compile gitolite.conf

query-rc                     get values of rc variables

list-groups                  list all group names in conf
list-users                   list all users/user groups in conf
list-repos                   list all repos/repo groups in conf
list-phy-repos               list all repos actually on disk
list-memberships             list all groups a name is a member of
list-members                list all members of a group

---

⚠️ Warnings ⚠️

• list-users is disk bound and could take a while on sites with 1000s of repos 😭 like it's giving "go get a snack, this is gonna be a minute"
• list-memberships does not check if the name is known. so if you hand it an unknown name it comes back with 2 answers: the name itself and @all 💀 it's just out here answering questions nobody verified

---

Also — running gitolite help should give you a list of custom commands available. those may or may not respond to -h, depending on how they were written. lowkey unpredictable but we respect the hustle 🫶

---

and that's the whole page, bestie — go forth and gatekeep those repos 💖✨
