Make sure you've got all of the refs you want in the bundle. I usually use `git bundle create ... --all` 2. Set up a remote on the destination side with a url of wherever you keep bundles (like /media/cdrom) and a fetch line like refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/source/* git remote add bundle /media/cdrom git config --replace-all remotes.bundle.fetch refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/bundle/* Since your destination machine is likely not connected to the internet, you may also want copy all of the remotes too. I do that with git config --add remotes.bundle.fetch refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/* Beware of the use of the name "origin" with setups like this. If you have branches under refs/remotes/origin/ on the machine you use to create the bundle, you will should make sure you don't try to copy refs from refs/heads and refs/remotes/origin to the same place (because refs/remotes/origin is the natural place to store both).
