Re: [git-users] connectng 2 win PCs in local network - clone folder to other PC
Please use reply all to copy in the git user list, so other can pick up the information. IP: On my work servers they are available by name (as are all the shared PCs), so I can use \\PC-1 to refer to a PC rather than by it's internal IP address, and importantly, I didn't need a transport protocol, so it was just accessing and serving files (Windows network) as if it was a local disc. Switching to a protocol changes Git's options so that it expects to 'talk' with the server (except file:// where it simply changes the level of checking)) It will depend on your network setup and it's management (and wether others have already done the hard work to make it a walled garden).

Re: [git-users] connectng 2 win PCs in local network - clone folder to other PC
If I understand correctly, you will need to permit sharing of the two repo folders so that the other PC is allowed to access the folder. So (XP thoughts) in the source PC, right click the repo folder in windows explorer, select sharing, and permit the appropriate User / PC to access the folder (full read write? It may be that you allow read to the repo, and read/write to the .git for pushing to it). In the second PC you should now be able to 'see' that folder in Win Expl and can do the clone. Give similar permissions to that folder. Assuming both PC's are active, with a working directory/folder, you need to avoid using master (i.e. checking out a common branch on both machines) because that causes a clash when you try and push. When I do this, I have a 'mine' and a 'theirs' (using real names) branches, so that I merge their work into mine, and they merge my work into theirs (from the fetched remote branch). We do have a master branch but we organise that one person will do that update (usually as a fast forward), publish it, and then checkout their own branch leaving 'master' in peace as a reference.
