50. Placing your git repository

Goals

• To learn how to configure a git server for sharing repos.

There are different ways to share a git repository on the network. Here's the quickest way.

01 Run git server

Run:

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

Now, go to your working directory in a separate terminal window.

Run:

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

You will find a copy of the hello project.

02 Sending to Git Daemon

If you want to allow push to the repository Git Daemon, add --enable=receive-pack tag to git daemon command. Be attentive, this server does not perform authentication, so anyone can push changes to your repository.
