Creating a git remote repository

I started using git full time for my personal or side projects. Git is so much easier to get running than svn, but still doesn’t have a way to easily sync sandboxes (branches in git speak) after getting up and running like svn. I needed to setup a remote repo to push and pull from. It’s very easy.

Here is the code to do it.

If you don’t have git, then get it.

• Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install git
• OS X: http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/

 

• ssh your_remote_server.com
• cd /var
• mkdir git && mkdir git/your_repo_name.git
• cd git/your_repo_name.git
• git –bare init

On your local machine:

• cd your_local_git_repo
• git remote add origin ssh://your_remote_server.com/var/git/your_repo_name.git
• git push origin master
