What is Git @ etoth.dev

This service is a private git server, for myself and friends. My GitHub is clustered with private repos, because everything I work on, gets versioned & history controlled with git. And I also want to work from my PC at home and from my laptop on the go. To clean up this mess, I set up this "GitHub"-like server. Mainly for private projects and co.

How to use Git @ etoth.dev

It's just a git server with a nice web GUI - just like GitHub, GitLab, ...

How to work on repositorys

You have two (three, but I will skip tea-cli) ways to get working:

1. HTTPS
2. SSH

HTTPS

To clone a repository with HTTPS you have to use git clone https://git.etoth.dev/user/repo.git. Now you can start working and user all other common git commands.

SSH

Before you can clone, push and push (etc.) you have to make a short configuration to your local ssh config. This is because I use a diffrent port for my git server.

Here you can copy the commands or get a script for your OS in the releases tab.

UNIX-like OS (most Linux distros and macOS)

mkdir -p ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh && [ -f ~/.ssh/config ] && cp ~/.ssh/config ~/.ssh/config.backup.$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S); cat >> ~/.ssh/config << 'EOF'

# Gitea Server git.etoth.dev
Host git.etoth.dev
    HostName git.etoth.dev
    User git
    Port 222
    StrictHostKeyChecking accept-new

EOF
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config && echo "Done! Usage: git clone git@git.etoth.dev:user/repo.git"

Windows

CMD version:

Usage: git clone git@git.etoth.dev:user/repo.git

PowerShell version:

Adding a public ssh key

1. Create or copy an existing ssh key
   • UNIX-like:

     ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "user@example.com"
     cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
     

   • Windows (PowerShell):

     ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "user@example.com"
     Get-Content "$env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_ed25519.pub"
     

   • Windows (CMD):

     ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "user@example.com"
     type "%USERPROFILE%\.ssh\id_ed25519.pub"
     

2. Copy the output (should start with ssh-ed25519 and end with your chosen comment)
3. Now go to: Settings --> SSH/GPG Keys --> Add Key
4. Test the setup (all OS): ssh -T git@git.etoth.dev. The output shoulde be:

   Hi there, user! You've successfully authenticated with the key named YOUR-KEY, but Gitea does not provide shell access.
   If this is unexpected, please log in with password and setup Gitea under another user.
