Git

Determine your GitLab version from the command line

GitLab is a neat GitHub clone that can be installed on your own servers. I wanted to setup mine running in a virtualized Ubuntu 12.04LTS environment.

When I was first experimenting with GIT I was administering the server using the wbm-virtualmin-git plugin for Virtualmin. As a result, I was using the HTTP protocol to access the git repository and preform user authentication.

I run a Hudson, (now Jenkins) CI server on windows XP.

The Jenkins git plugin is broken if you have repositories that use HTTP auth (See: http://issues.hudson-ci.org/browse/HUDSON-3807, http://issues.hudson-ci.org/browse/HUDSON-7091).
