Creating a remote Git repository

• Ensure you can ssh user@targetserver successfully
  • Public/private keys are a smart choice here
• On targetserver
  • Example here assumes all Git repository users are members of a gitusers group, adjust to suit
  • mkdir -p ~/path/to/repository
  • cd ~/path/to/repository
  • git init --bare --shared=group
    • Switch --shared=group will add core.sharedrepository = 1 to the repositories ~/path/to/repository/config file
  • chgrp -R gitusers ~/path/to/repository
  • All done on targetserver
• Now on development machine lets push working copy
  • mkdir -p ~/my/new/working/copy
  • cd ~/my/new/working/copy
  • git init
  • touch somefile.txt
  • git add .
  • git commit -m 'Initial commit'
  • git remote add origin user@targetserver:path/to/repository
  • git push -u origin master
  • git fetch
  • git pull
