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 wrote: > 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.

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.

[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.
