=== Requirements

You need to have a access to the gitolite repo
See [[Give a single user write access to gitolite repos]]

== Step by step

* Clone the gitolite-admin repo from /home/git/repositories/gitolite-admin via

{{{#!sh
git clone git@your-server-url:gitolite-admin
}}}

Note: If you get asked for a password you do not have the correct access permissions. 

See [[Give a single user write access to gitolite repos]]

* edit the gitolite-admin/conf/gitolite.conf file to add a repo

* Commit and push the change

There is now an empty repo with the new name under gitolite.

If you want to migrate an existing repo you can add the gitolite url as remote and push afterwards

{{{#!sh
git remote add origin git@your-server-url:your-repo-name
git push
}}}
