I am also lear

Answer 1

I got the same error while I was trying push new repository. It was caused by missing rights on /var/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hooks/post-update

sudo chmod a+x /var/git/repositories/gitosis-admin.git/hooks/post-update

Answer 2

This frequently gets (1, 2, 3, and myself) resolved by re-generating the ssh keypair

ssh-keygen -t rsa

and adding it at the redmine account settings.

Answer 3

First I would use gitolite instead. Gitosis is no longer actively developed.

Check that you need to name the public key to your user name that appears in the config. Your public key that you commit should be renamed to jobeet.pub.

Hope this helps.
