But all you want is -let a coworker pull from you, and therefore need to set up a Git server -real quick, right? - -Note that git-daemon is not really chatty at the moment, especially when -things do not go according to plan (e.g. a socket could not be bound). - -Another word of warning: if you run - - $ git ls-remote git://127.0.0.1/rule-the-world.git - -and you see a message like - - fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly - -it only means that _something_ went wrong. To find out _what_ went wrong, -you have to ask the server. (Git refuses to be more precise for your -security only. Take off your shoes now. You have any coins in your pockets? -Sorry, not allowed -- who knows what you planned to do with them?) - -With these two caveats, let's see an example: - - $ git daemon --reuseaddr --verbose --base-path=/home/gitte/git \ - --export-all -- /home/gitte/git/rule-the-world.git - -(Of course, unless your user name is `gitte` _and_ your repository is in -~/rule-the-world.git, you have to adjust the paths. If your repository is -not bare, be aware that you have to type the path to the .git directory!) - -This invocation tries to reuse the address if it is already taken -(this can save you some debugging, because otherwise killing and restarting -git-daemon could just silently fail to bind to a socket). - -Also, it is (relatively) verbose when somebody actually connects to it. -It also sets the base path, which means that all the projects which can be -accessed using this daemon have to reside in or under that path. - -The option `--export-all` just means that you _don't_ have to create a -file named `git-daemon-export-ok` in each exported repository. (Otherwise, -git-daemon would complain loudly, and refuse to cooperate.) - -Last of all, the repository which should be exported is specified. It is -a good practice to put the paths after a "--" separator. - -Now, test your daemon with - - $ git ls-remote git://127.0.0.1/rule-the-world.git - -If this does not work, find out why, and submit a patch to this document. |
