Hi,
I've moved a project from CVS on sourceforge to git on repo.or.cz. I
want a local mirror on my own home server, so that it appears amongst
the projects shown by my own gitweb set up, and so it gets caught by
my backup system. I've created the mirror with
git clone --bare <remote-url> <local-dir>
and that seems fine. But how do I now keep it up to date. I was
guessing a cron job doing some sort of git pull, but pull doesn't
look to work on --bare proj.git type repositories.
You want git fetch. Git pull also updates the working copy, which you
don't have.
Also, git clone --bare doesn't set up the origin configuration, and I
have to do it by hand:
git config remote.origin.url "$url"
git config remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/heads/*"
Brilliant!! That works.
So why wouldn't git-fetch work when, instead of setting up the origin
config, I put the url and refspec on the commandline? - not that it
matters, just interested.
Cheers,
Paul.
