    Although I'm loving the step towards Git on WHM/cPanel being able to install via "Home »Software »Install an RPM", I just don't know what to do next!

    I'd like to:
    1. Log into my WHM
    2. Create a new account on WHM .eg. example.com
    3. Add a link to my IDE for my new account e.g. username@example.com/example.git
    4. Me or my users Pull and Push from the new account / repository as we would BitBucket or GitHub using a password

    I work on PC, Mac and Linux using PHPSorm, Aptana and a few other IDEs as a Web Developer.
    I also work on shared computers and different IPs / networks.

    I have a few WHM servers I would like to set this up on and would really like to know if this is possible and know how to set this up.

    Any help to get started would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Hi Nick,

    Thanks for getting back to me
    I know Git is included with cPanel 11.36 or later as I say in the shout for help.

    What I'd like to know is when I install Git on my WHM, how can I give access to my cPanel users to Push and Pull files to only their account?
    And how do I allow my cPanel users to only create/add/delete/edit repos on their account?

    Is there some sort of cPanel/WHM/Git help?
    Has anyone been able to do anything like this?

    Thanks
    Dave.

    I see david, that we have the same wishes.
    It would appear that it's not so easy to achieve what we want.

    There are problems with the default cPanel git install it seems. (based on my tests with WHM 11.36.1 (build 5) )

    1) The 'git' command is not automatically added to the $PATH environment during the upgrade.
    2) Pushing to a repo over http/https will not be possible, because cPanel did not enable USE_CURL_MULTI while compiling git.

    There may be other issues, but that is as far as I got before hitting that limitation.

    If someone knows the commands to fix these issues, I may consider writing a WHM plugin to quick install a new git repo into a user's account.

    The "git" package is distributed with cPanel/WHM as of version 11.36. It's located at:

    Code:
    /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git
    You will need to use the full path when calling to it.

    Thank you.

    When I type in:

    git -v

    I just get the following:

    git: command not found

    I can navigate to /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git without a problem.

    Any ideas?

    you'll have to add a path to your shell - can you get a response for:

    /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git --version

    And previously I made an error try

    to see what git commands you can make

    Okay great, thanks, that's working now.

    How do I install a new git repo into a user's account?

    Hello :)

    Here is some output from the "help" command for "git":

    There is an example on the following documentation page that may be useful to you:

    https://help.github.com/articles/create-a-repo

    Thank you.

    Thanks for your answer.

    But how can I allow user to creat/delete git folder from cPanel ?
    How can they manage git ?


    Best regards

    The user will need shell access to utilize git via the command line. EX:

    Code:
    /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git --help
    Thank you.

    Why do we have to use the full path? Seems cumbersome and unnecessary. How can we just allow users to type: 'git' instead?

    You could setup an alias in the /etc/bashrc file. EX:

    Code:
    alias git="/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git"
    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Is it still the case that it is impossible to push to a WHM git repo due to point 2? I don't want to spend too much time trying to get Git into my workflow if it's not going to work.

    Thanks

    Jim

    The idea was that this gave the SA the option of deciding if they want to make a symlink in /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, etc. or not.

    Code:
    ln -sf /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/git /usr/bin/git

    See above. This was done intentionally to stay out of the way of the OS. You can put a symlink in /usr/bin if you want people to have access to git.

    We believe this is a limitation of curl on CentOS 5. It works fine on CentOS 6 as best we can tell. Can you confirm the version of your distro?
