Git repo

Instructions for hosting git on a raspberry pi.

on ferret, clone the documentation repo

rday@ferret:~$ mkdir doc
rday@ferret:~$ cd doc
rday@ferret:~/doc$ ls
rday@ferret:~/doc$ git clone ssh://weasel/home/rday/doc/ .

But that doesn't quite work since pushing from ferret will make the weasel working branch and index out of sync. What I really need is a bare repo that is centrally accessible.

setup bare repo on raspi

rday@raspbmc:/drobo2/git$ mkdir doc                                   
rday@raspbmc:/drobo2/git$ cd doc

OK, forget the raspberry pi

set up bare repo using weasel

push that change to the bare repo

put checkbook data in a git repo

background

• checkbook data originally in /home/rday/.moneydance
• want to store that in a bare repo on weasel:/drobo2/git/moneydance and have it be available from different workstations

procedure

create an empty bare repo on server

rday@weasel:/drobo2/git$ mkdir moneydance.git
rday@weasel:/drobo2/git$ cd moneydance.git
rday@weasel:/drobo2/git/moneydance.git$ git --bare init
Initialized empty Git repository in /drobo2/git/moneydance.git/

make the checkbook data a repo on workstation

rday@ferret:~/.moneydance$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/rday/.moneydance/.git/
rday@ferret:~/.moneydance$ git status
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#	Documents/
#	archive/
#	config.dict
#	errlog.txt
#	fmodules/
#	stockExchanges.dict
#	tmp/
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
rday@ferret:~/.moneydance$ git remote add origin ssh://weasel/drobo2/git/moneydance.git
rday@ferret:~/.moneydance$ git remote -v
origin	ssh://weasel/drobo2/git/moneydance.git (fetch)
origin	ssh://weasel/drobo2/git/moneydance.git (push)

rday@ferret:~/.moneydance$ git add *

push from workstation to server

rday@ferret:~/.moneydance$ git push origin
warning: push.default is unset; its implicit value is changing in
Git 2.0 from 'matching' to 'simple'. To squelch this message
and maintain the current behavior after the default changes, use:

  git config --global push.default matching

To squelch this message and adopt the new behavior now, use:

  git config --global push.default simple

See 'git help config' and search for 'push.default' for further information.
(the 'simple' mode was introduced in Git 1.7.11. Use the similar mode
'current' instead of 'simple' if you sometimes use older versions of Git)

pull from a different workstation

• move aside existing checkbook directory

[rday@servo ~]$ mv .moneydance .moneydance-old
[rday@servo ~]$ mkdir .moneydance
[rday@servo ~]$ cd .moneydance
[rday@servo .moneydance]$ git clone ssh://weasel/drobo2/git/moneydance.git .
