If you actually need a repository, and not just the latest files, all you need is run pkg install git on the machines you are actually using a ports tree on, if you have more than one machine, you should probably be using binary packages anyway, either the ones provided by FreeBSD, or ones built yourself using ports-mgmt/poudriere. If you only need the latest files, you can probably use something like net/gitup. -- Mathieu Arnold
