Why gitosis init sequence fails?

Question

After I run the init command, I see the following error message:

  -sh-4.1$ gitosis-init <id_rsa_git.pub 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/gitosis-init", line 9, in <module>

How would you troubleshoot this gitosis initialization sequence?

Answer 1

i'm solve the question change the publish key with the format,add the name and server begin the key

ssh-rsa [email protected]
AAAAB3NzaC1yc........................etc
~                                                                             

Answer 2

Make sure you create your git ssh keys with:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f "path/to/id_rsa_git" -C "gitosis admin key" -q -P "" 

That would work too for gitolite key. -And you really should use gitolite. Gitosis is obsolete since 2009)
