[git-users] How to create a repo
This should be screamingly easy, in fact, I know I have done this before - but I forget how. I do remember that I had a hard time with it before. :-( I have created a file on my C:\ drive. Let us call it c:\mydir\helloworld.cmd . I have a Z: drive mapped with lots of drive space and write privs. This drive is accessible to the millions of programmer-slaves under my command. I wish to use z: as a repository for all my code, and for all my programmer-slaves code. I wish to add my helloworld.cmd file to that repository. How do I do this? I know how to use 'git init' to create a repo on C:, and how to use 'git add', 'git commit', and 'git push'. But I don't know how to tell 'git push' to use Z: as a target, and I don't know what I have to do to prepare z:\ to receive the files. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

Re: [git-users] How to create a repo
This is somewhat confusing to me as to what you really want. Do you want a bare repository on your Z: drive? This means you your subordinates would need to git clone to create their own copy (working directory). Or do you actually want to have the .git subdirectory for your (and other users') c:\mydir to reside on the Z: drive instead of being a subdirectory (folder to Windows types) in c:\mydir? The first case is simply git init --bare --shared z:\repodir to create a bare repository which you and others can then git clone z:\repodir followed by git push to update. This is what I am used to doing. If the later, look at git init --separate-git-dir z:\repodir. I really don't know if this latter will work if multiple people need up update it (which is what I think a git add or git commit will do). Perhaps one of the true experts will comment on having a shared git index setup of this sort. Personally, I go with be afraid! Be very, very afraid! in this latter case. I don't think git is designed to allow sharing of an index folder on a CIFS (Windows share) shared directory. But I've been wrong in the past. Well, it's 02:25 and I need to try to get back to sleep, if I just could.

Re: [git-users] How to create a repo
You must first create an empty repository on Z:, add it as a remote in C:\mydir, then issue the git push. Basically as follows, although I don’t know how Windows git handles backslashes in paths, so maybe you will have to replace it wich slashes: C:\mydir Z: Z:\ mkdir projectname Z:\ cd projectname Z:\projectname git init --bare Initialized empty Git repository in Z:\projectname\ Z:\projectname C: C:\mydir git remote add origin Z:\projectname C:\mydir git push origin master On 4 June 2014 08:49, Eric Fowler eric.fow...@gmail.com wrote: This should be screamingly easy, in fact, I know I have done this before - but I forget how.

This worked. Thanks to Mr. Polonkai.
