How to make a directory clone-able?

Hi LQ Folks,

This is regarding Distributed Version control System "GIT" :

I'd like to explain my doubt using an example..

1. Let's think we have a directory with name "gitx".
2. In order to make it controlled by GIT.. we have to run "git init" inside the gitx directory.
3. My Question is ..how can i make this gitx directory clone-able by others in my private network?

I know how to clone it using ssh.. i want it to do it using git protocol.

git clone directory path/web address

So you could setup taht directory as an NFS mount accessible on the other systems or have it be served via http.

Got it on my own!!

You have to create a bare repository. you can use ...

Quote:

git clone --bare url repo-name.git(optional)

You have to use one of the following methods to make a repo clone-able:

1. The user should have SSH access to that machine which is hosting this repo.
2. Use http method to clone a repo.(Mostly used for public repo's).
3. Use gitosis/gitolite to clone the repo.

I prefer gitolite for easy and most secure user management.

Good luck.
