Git有一个中央存储库

Question

I've just set up a repository on my server. I'd like to use it with a small group of developers. We want to have a central repository shared among us. We don't have experience with Git, but we want to learn. I have followed this instructions .

On the server:

$ git init --bare --shared foo.git
Initialized empty shared Git repository in /git/foo.git/
$ chgrp -R dev foo.git

On the clients:

$ git clone ssh://<my_server>/git/foo.git

Then each client will be able to make changes and push them to the server and pull changes from other users.

I want to ask you girls and guys if this configuration is correct. It seems so simple that I was doubting about its correctness???

Answer 1

Yep, that's about right. There's one more option you'd probably want to set: core.sharedRepository which tells Git that when it creates additional directories, it should chgrp them to that group.

There's a good writeup on how to set it at http://criticallog.thornet.net/2010/01/07/sharing-your-git-repository/
