Gitorious uses the same system user account for all users connecting to
the server (usually the git user), and has its own
authentication/authorization built on top of that. Your server will
generate the appropriate SSH URLs to be used, regardless which user is
connecting, and it will look like this:
git@:/.git
Your Git user name and email aren't used for
authentication/authorization by Gitorious, they're only used when
you commit to your (local) repository.
Technicall, Gitorious relies on OpenSSH's support for a command
specification in the git user's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file. It will
look like this:
command="gitorious john" your-ssh-public-key-here
when you connect to the server over SSH, OpenSSH will look for a public
key matching the private key used to connect, and when it finds the
first match it will execute `gitorious john` (provided your Gitorious
username is "john"). From there on, Gitorious takes over.
Cheers,
