Git with Redmine

Redmine is a free and open source, web-based project management and bug-tracking tool. It includes a calendar and Gantt charts to aid visual representation of the projects.

After setting up Redmine we need to have git interfacing with it for browsing and commits etc.

We follow the below guide to have git up and running.

Ensure port 9148 is open on local (forwarding) and remote (input) firewalls.

Ensure you add you public SSH key under ‘My Account’ in Redmine.

At The ‘Repositories’ tab on the project you are working on.

Follow the instructions for initialising a git project on your local machine.

eg.

mkdir taxisnap
cd taxisnap/
git init
touch readme.txt
git add readme.txt
git commit -m 'Initializing TAXI SNAP repository'
git remote add origin gitolite@dev.pub.zapop.com:taxisnap.git
git push -u origin master

Other commands you might like to use:

git remote rm origin
git config -l

Global git configurations will be in your home directory under .gitconfig For example you may be behind a proxy:

[http]
proxy = http://username:password@192.168.0.4:8080
