# Git Repository Initialization
|
|
|
|
This document explains how a git repository should be set up in order to guarantee authenticity and non-repudiation of data.
|
|
|
|
Git is used because it permits cryptographic singing of commits using PGP, as well as historical changes to a set of data.
|
|
|
|
## Procedure: Setting up Repository
|
|
// ANCHOR: procedure
|
|
1. Create a git repository using a git system such as Forgejo, GitLab, GitHub etc.
|
|
|
|
1. Set appropriate permissions to limit who can write to the repository.
|
|
|
|
* Require that all commits are signed using well known PGP keys
|
|
|
|
1. Optionally set up a cron job that periodically pulls the data from the repository as a backup.
