If you do it as written, it will mess you up in subsequent steps. The git-shell is not likely intended to be used as a login shell. If you change the login shell from its default (typically /bin/bash) to /usr/bin/git-shell, you will no longer be able to log into the server as the git user and will be unable to complete the subsequent steps which require logging in or su’ing to the git user.</p> Leave out the part about git-shell.

The problem isn’t really with Fedora.

I was setting up a private Git repository on a Debian server yesterday and experienced the same problem. After changing the shell from bash to git-shell I wasn’t able to push anymore too. But looking at /var/log/auth.log I noticed something like: “user ‘git’ has invalid shell, rejected”.

Googling around I found that you have to append the line “/usr/bin/git-shell” to the /etc/shells file. Doing that I was able to push again, this time using the restricted Git shell.

I missed “git init” on local machine and I was getting error (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
Now I could setup my repositories.

Thanks for your suggestion. It is not biased at all—I know gitosis is not maintained now and gitolite seems do the work (and better through continuous development) that gitosis did.

I will edit this post and suggest gitolite to the readers.

BTW: thanks for your work on gitolite which give us a good choice beside gitosis.
