You don't have to do this but you want to give everyone access to an account on the laptop. You could also create a usergroup and add the project folder to that group and give all your developers access to that group. Either-way once everyone is able to log onto the laptop make a new directory called project.git. Then go into that directory and use git --bare init. Assuming you created a user named git you can then check the code out via git clone git@localhost:project.git to start things off from the source you will be working on you can then use: git init touch 'Readme' git add Readme git commit -m 'Initial Comit' git remote add origin git@ip:project.git git push origin master -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-host-a-github--tp24713161p25525401.html Sent from the git mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
