Spent the day figuring out git and setting up a server on my ESXi server. I created a new VM and installed Ubuntu 9.10 Server 64 on it. I own the book Pragmatic Version Control with Git from Pragmatic Programmers on PDF so I worked through that while the server was installing and getting packages installed and whatnot. For the actual configuration of the server I followed the guide from Andrew Dunn Install (Set Up) Git and Gitosis on Ubuntu. It was pretty straightforward. I opted for gitosis in the event I need to add anyone to the setup and since it wasn’t very difficult to begin with.
I was a little concerned with the server names being what they are and being able to access the repository remotely but I realize, with git I don’t really have to worry about that. (Until I get another contributor and we’re actively pushing up changes, I suppose.)
