通过在线驱动器上的 WebDav 远程设置 git

Question

I have access to a drive that I would wish to use as a remote to backup some of my git repository. I have two ways of accessing the drive. The first one is using a normal internet browser (where it asks my username & password to get in). The second one is through an option that the drive calls "remote access" which says I can access the drive through my computer using WebDav, where it lists the WebDav address, username and password.

I managed to map the drive in the file explorer using this WebDav thing. I just put on the WebDav address and then it asked me username and password.

What I would like to do now is set up one of the folders in the drive as a remote in my git repository. Preferably bypassing the mapped drive in the file explorer, since I'd have to map it every time I restart the computer.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Answer 1

If you could map your drive in your local machine, then you could use a folder in that drive as a remote git repository by creating a bare repository

for doing that you have to select a folder in your WebDav drive and run:

$ git init --bare

This will create an empty repository on that folder. Then you can clone that repository by simply running:

$ git clone PATH_TO_THE_REPOSITORY 

and continue operating like a normal git repository
