Editing Git

=== msgsb git ===
Current status of git working on 108 server.  These commands work as of Apr 10, 2024 on existing repos.  Trying to work out how to make a new repo

<code>git ls-remote  "<nowiki>ssh://mhamilton@msgsb.com:101/home4/git/srv/git/GpioTest.git</nowiki>"</code>

<code>git clone "<nowiki>ssh://mhamilton@msgsb.com:101/home4/git/srv/git/GpioTest.git</nowiki>"</code>

=== General ===
You actually don't need a software package like github or gitlab to host your own repositories, if the command line is good enough for you, all you need is git itself and a remote machine that you can ssh into.

You simply
 git init --bare
on the host and on the local you
 git init
and then set the remote location with
 git remote set-url remoteip:path/to/repo
then you can push from local with
 git push --set-upstream origin master
and then you're set and can use it normally from your command line.

=== Mirroring a repository ===
Open Git Bash.

Create a bare clone of the repository.
 git clone --bare https://github.com/EXAMPLE-USER/OLD-REPOSITORY.git
Mirror-push to the new repository.
 cd OLD-REPOSITORY.git
 git push --mirror https://github.com/EXAMPLE-USER/NEW-REPOSITORY.git
Remove the temporary local repository you created earlier.
 cd ..
 rm -rf OLD-REPOSITORY.git
