All users clone/push/pull via the git@gitrepo... user. This is confusing at first; how does GitLab know which user is really doing the work if the user id is always git?!?!
The trick is your SSH key. Each user needs to upload their public SSH key to the GitLab application. When someone does a clone/push/pull GitLab recognizes which SSH key they are coming in on and determines the GitLab user involved based on that. So long story short; everyone deals with git@gitrepo... but because each user has a different SSH key when talking to it GitLab still knows who they are. GitHub and other systems take a comparable approach. It avoids having to create a true system account on the server for each user. -Geoff On Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 9:45 AM, no one <longisland...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello All, > Need a little help. > Have gitlab ce up and running locally, and have individual users > configured.
