git-share

A simple script to set up a git daemon and share it on a remote server.

Preconditions

1. Linux server with OpenSSH server running
2. Right to forward ports to that server (GatewayPorts yes)
3. OpenSSH ssh client on the client machine

What it does

git share does a couple of things

1. It creats a bare repository to share
2. It starts a git daemon so everyone can pull and push from your bare repository
3. It forwards a port on a remote machine to your local client
4. It adds a new remote called share to your git repository (pointing to the bare repository)

So after typing git share anybody can pull and push to your bare repository and you can pull and push to it.

You can stop git share by pressing Ctrl-C.

Quick Howto

Remote host: example-server.com

User A:

$ git config --all share.remotehost example-server.com
$ git share
Cloning into bare repository .git/share/share...
done.
Password: [enter password]
You can now clone at git://example-server.com:50423/share
Stop by pressing Ctrl-C

Another User B (somewhere else):

$ git clone git://example-server.com:50423/share
Cloning into share...
remote: Counting objects: 3, done.
remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done.
$ [... do some work ...]
$ git push origin

User A again:

$ git pull share master
[... pulling stuff that User B has pushed before ...]
