     71 
     72 <p>I&rsquo;m running a gitolite <em>instance</em> on my personal server to manage my repositories
     73 (personnal, private or public) ; and I am quickly going to share with you how I
     74 setup a <em>quick and dirty</em> mirror feature.</p>
     75 
     76 <p>First, I am using <strong>gitolite 3</strong>. The mirroring we are going to setup is not the
     77 <em>supported</em> <a href="http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/mirroring.html">mirroring <strong>built-in</strong></a>.
     78 We are going to implement a simplier way to set mirror thing :</p>
     79 
     80 <ol>
     81 <li>Write a custom gitolite command ; the idea is to be able to write <code>git-config</code>
     82 stuff.</li>
     83 <li>Write a hook that take a specific <code>git-config</code> (let say <code>mirror.url</code>) and do
     84 a simple mirroring.</li>
     85 </ol>
     86 
     87 <h1 id="gitolite-commands">Gitolite commands</h1>
     88 
     89 <p>Gitolite 3 has been rewritten to be more flexible : <a href="http://sitaramc.github.com/gitolite/g3why.html">Why a completely new version</a>.
     90 The rewrite made it really easy to extend gitolite. <del>I&rsquo;ve fork <a href="https://github.com/vdemeester/gitolite">gitolite</a> on github</del>
     91 I&rsquo;ve created a <a href="http://github.com/vdemeester/vdemeester-gitolite-local-code">repository git</a>
     92 to easily add commands to my gitolite instance via <em>local code</em>. The gitolite command I wrote is
     93 a quick and dirty script in shell to add <code>git config</code>. The source should speek
     94 for itself ; It <em>should</em> include some way to check if the given config is not
     95 already present in the <code>gitolite-admin</code> configuration file — and so might be
     96 rewritten in <code>Perl</code>.</p>
     97 
     98 <p>The command is <code>write-git-config</code> because a <code>git-config</code> command already exists
     99 in the built-in commands.</p>

    139 <p>The next step is to write a quick <code>post-receive</code> hook that check if there is a
    140 certain <code>git-config</code> entry and run <code>git push --mirror</code>. The file is in
    141 <code>$HOME/.gitolite/hooks/common/post-receive</code> ; you could add a better system to
