As part of working on cani I was also using a variety of git remotes. One of the remotes was hosted on a server I have at home. Here’s how I set that up.
Let’s say the server has a project in a folder called cani . This folder has the code and a .git/ directory:
/home/user/projects/cani
We can use the above folder to clone a bare repository (can be used as a remote without causing weird conflicts):
cd /home/user/bares git clone --bare /home/user/projects/cani # creates /home/user/bares/cani.git
To add this bare repository as a remote to push & pull from can look like a few different ways. Here’s the remote while on the same machine:
git remote add local /home/user/bares/cani.git
Here’s how you can set up the remote when pushing from another machine:
git remote add local ssh://USER@MACHINE:/home/user/bares/cani.git
