Preface

Gitolite is a very popular tool for fine-grained access control of Git repository servers. It's fast, unobtrusive, and has a very small footprint, yet it provides several features that make an administrator's life much easier.

This book helps you get up to speed with Gitolite. It is easy to read and flows smoothly all the way from the basic installation process to advanced features such as mirroring. In particular, the more powerful and complex features are built up gradually to help you understand it more intuitively. Anyone who is using or considering using Gitolite should benefit from this book.
