centos 7 gitweb with apache config

• install apache and gitweb

sudo yum install gitweb httpd -y

• create user add config group information

# useradd -c 'git user' git
# usermod -a -G git apache
# su - git <<EOF
mkdir projects
git init --bare projects/project1
git init --bare projects/project2
EOF
# chmod -R g+rwX /home/git

• git web config sudo vim /etc/gitweb.conf

our $projectroot = "/home/git/projects";

• start apache

sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd

The key part, though, is ensuring that your web server has appropriate permissions on your /home/gitdirectory. If you're not using Apache, figure out what user your web server is using and then substitute that in the above.
