Using Git on Alioth

Creating a new public Git repository (for a new project)

Git repository on git.debian.org doesn't get created with a new project, you have to request it at the [https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?group_id=1&atid=200001 Tracker: Support Requests].

The git.debian.org admins will create a directory named /srv/git.debian.org/git/project-name owned by your project group which will be accessible by git using sftp, rsync over ssh, or http for read-only access. For instance, you'll be able to check out your branch though sftp with:

     git clone ssh://<user>@git.debian.org/git/<group>/whatever/.git

Anonymous users will enjoy read-only access with:

    git clone http://git.debian.org/git/<group>/whatever/.git
