I'
m a complete newbie in system administration and
I'
m doing this as a hobby.
I host my own git repository on a VPS. Let's say my
user is john.
I'
m using the ssh protocol to access my git repository, so my url is something like ssh://
[email protected]/path/to/git/myrepo/.
Root is the owner of everything that's under /path/to/git
I'
m attempting to give read/write access to john to everything which is under /path/to/git/myrepo
I've tried both chmod and setfacl to control access, but both fail the same way: they apply rights recursively (with the right options) to all the current existing subdirectories of /path/to/git/myrepo, but as soon as a new directory is created, my
user can not write in the new directory.
I know that there are hooks in git that would allow me to reapply the rights after each commit, but
I'
m starting to think that
i'
m going the wrong way because this seems too complicated for a very basic purpose.
Q: How should
I setup my right to give rw access to john to anything under /path/to/git/myrepo and make it resilient to tree structure change ?
Q2: If
I should take a step back change the general approach, please tell me.
