You'd have to 1. Create a shared, bare git repo. 2. Clone it to a local repo. 3. Add and commit the files locally. 4. Push the changes to the shared repo. I'm sure there are numerous git tutorials that explain this is more detail. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves. -- Alan Kay
