Re: How to host a github?

I want to share code with a few co-workers and I want to use git.

I installed git (cygwin), created a /project/ and then $cd project
and then $git init

I have found so much documentation as to what to do next, that
I'm confused.

Do I have to create an account on github in order to share code with
a few local developers?

Could I run some sort of server on my laptop in order to share code?
(we only need to share during office hours).  Basically I just
want to share code but do not want to sign up for an account
on github.

How do I work this?

thanks

Hey,  assuming you have shell access into your laptop, create a user named
git.  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
