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@<host>:<project>/<repository>.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.
