Gitolite is an SSH-based gatekeeper providing access control for a server that hosts many git repositories. Without gitolite, each developer needing to push to one of the repositories hosted would need a user account on that server; gitolite lets you do that just using SSH public keys tied to a single, common, user that hosts all the repositories. Gitolite can restrict who can read (clone/fetch) from or write (push) to a repository, and who can push to what branch or tag - an important issue in corporate environments. Other features include: * access control by branch-name or by modified file/directory; * per-developer "personal namespace" prefixes; * simple but powerful configuration file syntax (with validation); * config files (and authority for maintaining them) can be split; * easy integration with gitweb; * comprehensive logging; * easy migration from gitosis.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
