Sharath,
As far as I know you can have your repository anywhere, the only restriction
would be that the production (web) server be able to log into you local
machine to do a git/svn pull.
The 'normal' process would be to host the repo either on github, the client
server or your own (external) server.
To use on your own server or the production server do the following:
- install git on the server
- then decide where you want to store repositories, ie ~/repos
- then create a .git file like so mkdir ~/repos/<some_app_name>.git and
cd into that directory
- initialize an empty repo with git --bar init
- exit the server
- on your local machine go to the app directory and enter git remote add
origin ssh://<domain_name_or_ip_address>/<path_to_repos>/<repo_name>.git
- and then git push origin master
This assumes you've already initialized a git repo for your local app.
Again, after this you just need to make sure the production server can
access the server with the remote git repository.
To learn git better just google and you'll find loads of info.
