lab 50 Hosting your Git Repositories

NOTE: This step and the next one is optional since we use a service like Github to host our sahred repositories.

Goals

There are many ways to share git repositories over the network. Here is a quick and dirty way.

Start up the git server 01

Execute:

# (From the work directory)
git daemon --verbose --export-all --base-path=.

Now, in a separate terminal window, go to your work directory

Execute:

# (From the work directory)
git clone git://localhost/hello.git network_hello
cd network_hello
ls

You should see a copy of hello project.

Pushing to the Git Daemon 02

If you want to push to the git daemon repository, add --enable=receive-pack to the git daemon command. Be careful because there is no authentication on this server, anyone could push to your repository.
