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

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

git remote add origin git@your-server-url:your-repo-name
git push
