Setting Up a Git Server Using Gitosis - SysTutorials
The git user will check /home/git/.gitosis.conf (which symlinks to /home/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/gitosis.conf) for repo access
It will be updated upon push to gitosis-admin.
To debug gitosis, edit /home/git/.gitosis.conf and add:
[gitosis]
loglevel=DEBUG
...You can even edit it to override the access control.
