This may be one of the most important chapters in this book, since it talks about a very popular feature of Gitolite. While it is not suitable in sites where strict control and auditability are required, it is very useful in most other sites, not only saving the administrator a lot of time, but the users also do not have to wait on the administrator for something they need quickly.

In the next chapter, we will talk about what core Gitolite is and what non-core is, look at some non-core programs that come with Gitolite, and discuss customizing Gitolite by adding our own non-core code.
