Installation

Githome is not entirely fit for public consumption, due to the fact that the installation process is not well documented yet. To install, the following things need to happen:

0. Make sure git is installed.
1. Create a new user account for githome (strictly speaking this is not necessary, but this will avoid unpleasant surprises with your own ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file). Make sure you create the .ssh/ directory and touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys, as githome refuses to update these files for security reasons otherwise.
2. Install githome via pip.
3. In an empty directory, run githome init. This will be the top-level home of all githome files; repositories will also be stored here.
4. It might be a good idea to inspect the configuration via githome config show.
5. Add users and keys. See githome --help.
6. If you are using gh_client (if local.use_gh_client is enabled), set up your init system to start githome server (again, see --help).
