Windows上用于Unix GIT安装的GIT GUI客户端

Question

Our company programs and runs data analysis on a Linux server. The programming is done in Windows clients (SAS, generally). Each project is only programmed by one person and is reviewed by another.

We would like to put our projects under version control but leave the code on the server (ie not pulling to local Windows repositories). The advantage is incremental backup and helps with confirming changes from the reviewer.

Does anyone know of a Windows client that can read remote repositories but perform GIT actions using GIT on Linux, rather than on Windows? Trying a few clients (eg SourceTree and SmartGIT) suggests only the latter is possible.

Thanks, Rich

One way to achieve what you want is to export the directories containing the Git repositories on your server over CIFS (via Samba) and then mount them as network disks on your workstations.

But really I can't understand what's wrong with using Git the normal way.

Deployment is best done using native packages for the target system (hard to do on Windows, I admit) or a tar.gz archive (doable using git archive ) or a tool like git-ftp or rsync.

If you need code review, consider using Gerrit .

As to backups, each Git repository clone is, in a sense, a set of differential backups of itself. That is, the more (local) clones you have the safer you are.
