Git installation guide (for Archlinux users).

Create a new user dedicated for repositories storing. In our case we will call him github:
```
sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash github
```

sudo passwd github

Download git from repository. It doesn't needed to be configured:
```
sudo pacman -S git
```
Login as github and create a repository directory in home. Let it call testrepo.git. Usually repository directory has .git postfix:
```
mkdir ~/testrepo.git
```

cd ~/testrepo.git git --bare init --shared

We initialize this as a core repository with a feature of remote access for everybody who has SSH access to this server as github user.

IMPORTANT: Remote git connection is using SSH connection. Please, be sure that a committer has an opportunity to access server as github user.

Please, review SSH public key configuration chapter to be able to register SSH public keys.
