 # Static git server
 
+Stagit allows us to display git repositories running on a previously installed git server.

 We give the user git the home: /srv/git and store the repos as /srv/git/repos/my_repo.
 The web server has its root at /var/www/git/.

 Finally, we give all users reading rights to all subfolders of the repo folders:

+## Usage

+New repos can now be initiated on the server with

+git init --bare my_repo
+
+The website and the repo endpoint will be updated upon the first push.
