如何重命名用 gitolite 创建的 Git 存储库？

我使用 gitolite 创建了一个 Git 存储库，现在我想重命名这个存储库。

我怎么能这么做？

在吉托利特的自述是说，我不应该直接在服务器上工作。但我想我得在服务器上做点工作，对吧？

I'm not familiar with gitolite specifically, but one approach that might work is to create a completely new repository with the correct name, push your code up into that one, and then delete the old one.

Using Greg Hewgill as an idea, you possibly can rename the repository in the config file. You may want to try that on a dummy repository first. My suspicions is the old name will be deleted, the new will be created and you need to update your origins locally then push.

As stated in the gitolite basic-admin manual:

renaming a repo

This is similar; there's no code to do this in gitolite. What you do is:

  • log on to the server, cd $REPO_BASE (default: cd ~/repositories), and

    mv old-name.git new-name.git

  • back on your gitolite-admin clone, edit conf/gitolite.conf and replace all occurrences of old-name with new-name. Then add, commit, and push as usual.

The order of these 2 steps is important; do not reverse them :-)

A third step is necessary on gitolite3:

  • edit file gl-conf in the repo and change the repository name to the new name

And of course, every user should update his clone configuration to point to the new repo name.

A clean approach is to create the new repository as an empty one, then do the following:

Assuming old is OLD and new (empty) is NEW:

# mkdir /tmp/1
# cd /tmp/1
# git clone OLD_REPO old
# git clone NEW_REPO new
# cd new
# git pull ../old
# git push origin master

Or you can use directly the remote repo for OLD:

# mkdir /tmp/1
# cd /tmp/1
# git clone NEW_REPO new
# cd new
# git pull OLD_REPO
# git push origin master

This will keep all history and will let gitolite handle its internals. Additionally you'll have to update gitolite-admin but there's not limitation in the order.

This also works remotely without problems.

Deleting the OLD repository should be done per gitolite's instructions (locally) though.
