What do you mean by local server? You want to share the git repo on one of your machines with some other machines of yours? If so, the git repo is just a directory, and can be copied around with scp or anything else. But to do it efficiently, git knows how to operate over SSH. So on the client, you can do something like, $ git clone my-server.example.com:/path/to/repo.git Enter the SSH password for your account on my-server.example.com, and git will clone the whole repo. Later on, running `git pull` on the client (from within the repo.git directory) will sync it.
