INSTALL

1. Git-Directory

   You need a directory where all git repositories will be created. E.g. /var/www/git After enabling the Module set this in the administration interface

2. Apache Config for write support

   Enable DAV support:

   a2enmod dav dav_fs

Add the following lines to the apache virtualhost directive: <Directory /var/www/git/> Dav On

3. Apache Access control to git directories

   Enable the "external authentication" module:

   apt-get install libapache2-mod-authnz-external

Add the following lines to the apache virtualhost directive: DefineExternalAuth git_repo pipe DRUPAL_ROOT/modules/git_repo/git_auth DefineExternalGroup git_repo pipe DRUPAL_ROOT/modules/git_repo/git_group

Replace DRUPAL_ROOT to the correct path to your drupal installation, e.g. /var/www

4. Use memcached to speed up authentication

   The external scripts will be called over and over. Loading the drupal libraries every time to check for the user takes a lot of time. If you install memcached the authorization will be saved for some seconds, speeding up things.

apt-get install memcached php5-memcache /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
