Create a Git Repository – cPanel

Tutorial: login from the Client Area or the direct link.

Find the Files section and click the Git^TM Version Control.

Click the Create button.

To create a new repository or add an existing repository to the list of cPanel-managed repositories, set the Clone a Repository toggle to disabled.

In the Repository Path text box, enter the path to the directory that will contain the repository.
Do note that:
– if the specified directory does not currently exist, the system will create it.
– if the specified directory already contains a repository, the system will automatically add it to the list of cPanel-managed repositories.
– unless you’re adding an existing repository to the list, the directory must be empty. Subdomain directories contain a cgi-bin directory and may also contain a .well-known directory. You must move these before you can create a repository.
cPanel’s Git Version Control enforces several restrictions on repository paths:
– The system globally denies public access to repositories’ .git directories.
– Do not modify or delete a repository’s .git directory or its contents. Modifications to this data can irreparably break the repository.
– You cannot create, delete, or view repositories with paths that include whitespace or any of the following characters:
\ * | ” ‘ < > & @ ` $ { } [ ] ( ) ; ? : = % #`
– You cannot create, delete, or view repositories in the following directories:
.cpanel .trash etc mail ssl tmp logs .cphorde spamassassin .htpasswds var cgi-bin .ssh perl5 access-logs

In the Repository Name text box, enter the desired display name for the repository.

Click the Create button.
