Hello, I've been tring git for a few private projects and have come up with a way to organise distributed development on multiple machines. I was wondering if anyone else could comment on what I've done? Here it is... I want to be able to work on a project called proj on multiple computers, and have backups on removable media. Let's say I have computers c1 and c2, and a removable hard disk labelled disk1. I've setup the repositories in c1: /home/me/proj c2: /home/me/proj disk1: /media/disk1/me/proj In c1:/home/me/proj/.git/remotes/c2 URL: ssh://c2/home/me/proj Pull: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/host/c2 Push: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/host/c1 In c1:/home/me/proj/.git/remotes/disk1 URL: /media/disk1/me/proj Pull: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/disk/disk1 Push: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/host/c1 In c2:/home/me/proj/.git/remotes/c1 URL: ssh://c1/home/me/proj Pull: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/host/c1 Push: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/host/c2 In c2:/home/me/proj/.git/remotes/disk1 URL: /media/disk1/me/proj Pull: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/disk/disk1 Push: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/host/c2 c1 has these branches: master host/c2 disk/disk1 c2 has these branches: master host/c1 disk/disk1 disk1 has these branches: master host/c1 host/c2 So after doing some work at c1 and committing into master, I can c1$ git-push c2 c1$ git-push disk1 Then when I sit down at c2: c2$ git-pull . host/c1 Or if I've forgotten to push from c1: c2$ git-pull c1 Or I can cart disk1 around, and c2$ git-pull disk1 Each repository stays on its master branch. As per the git-pull man page, no development is done on branches that I pull from. This is working fine for me at the moment, which is single person development, straight line, no branching. When I come to branches, I think the branches will need to be added in each repository, with push and pull lines in .git/remotes/c1 etc. Does this look reasonable? What have I missed that would make this more manageable, particularly with respect to branching? -- VGER BF report: U 0.500329 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
