git-源文件和存储库应该在同一台机器上吗？

Question

I plan to install a basic git server. The point is to, somehow, centralize projects development.

However, the computer where I would like to do this isn't that great. I have no more then a few gigabytes available.

Does this make sense?

• Each workstation will have their own git instalation and their own copy of project files.
• They connect to the repository server via ssh;
• The server will have only the repositoty information about the project.

Is this ok?

Edit: - It can be server-less if possible. The main point is, however, to allow everyone (3 persons uhh) to work on the same project. I'm a bit lost here... :)

Answer 1

If you set a "central" git repository server, then that server will have bare repositories only (because of push restriction ), meaning:

• not all the files
• but only a compressed version of all the history of those files.

The space taken by those bare repos isn't that important if you are dealing with sources (text files).
But if you have, as a webapp designer, many binaries (mainly pictures), then you need to externalize them in another storage, while keeping your git repos in your central server.

The current solution is git-annex .

Answer 2

Not entirely sure what you are asking but.....

Git is a distributed version control system (dvcs), so where you have a repository you have all the files and all the history for the entire repository.

IMHO in a commercial development environment, it makes sense to have central repository from which official builds can be made, then your developers can push and pull into that repository or a "gatekeeper" can collate changes from your developers and push into the central repository.

Perhaps look at gitosis , gitolite , github

Answer 3

You can use a program like gitosis for that. And this is indeed a common setup.
