====== Setting GIT on need to know bases ======

Create an SSH public/private key pair
   [user@client ~]$ ssh keygen -t rsa

Upload the public key to the server
   [user@client ~]$ scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server.example.org:/tmp/user.pub

SSH to the server and become root
<code>
[user@client ~]$ ssh user@server.example.org
user@server:~$ sudo su -
</code>

Install gitolite
   root@server:~# apt-get install gitolite

Switch to the gitolite user
   root@server:~# su - gitolite

Run the Gitolite setup script
<code>
gitolite@server:~$ gl-setup /tmp/user.pub
From your client computer clone the gitolite-admin repository
[user@client ~]$ git clone gitolite@server.example.org:gitolite-admin

Create a test repository
<code>
[user@client gitolite-admin]$ vim conf/gitolite.conf
