linking local directory to use newly created github repo
 
I created a new private repo on github.blah.com. This repo has a few config flat files. Now I want to link /usr/local/somedir to my private repo so that when I run a git pull all the config files will sync up to that dir.

What do I have to do on the local machines to get this setup?

you need to use git clone to clone the remote repo in the first place then when you need to update your local folder you use git pull
