git-bare

I have a server on which I have a bare repository for pushing. However, my server needs to have a working copy of the master branch. How do I get a working copy and that only from a bare repository? You can simply clone the repository to another directory on the same machine: git clone /bare/repo/dir.git The current directory will become a non-bare clone of your repo, and you'll get a checkout of the master branch automatically. Then use the usual commands like git pull to update it as needed. As a side benefit, this operation is very efficient — if you specify a local directory to git clone ,

Taking into consideration that there are several git commands that make no sense in a bare repository (because bare repositories don't use indexes and do not have a working directory), git reset --hard HEAD^ is not a solution to uncommit the last change in such a repository. Searching through the Internet, all I could find related to the topic is this , in which I am presented three ways of doing this: 1. "update the ref manually (which involves plumbing)"; 2. " git push -f from a non-bare repository"; 3. " git branch -f this $that ". Which solution do yo think is more appropriate or what

I'm trying to synchronize periodically a git bare repository, my local branches are created using the "--track" option. here is my config (without unnecessary things): [core] bare = true [remote "origin"] url = git@github.com:Ummon/D-LAN.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master [branch "website"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/website I must use the 'cp' command to update the local branches: git fetch --all cp -r refs/remotes/origin/* refs/heads Is there a more elegant solution? sehe Instead of copying the ref files around

This maybe has been answered, but I didn't find a good answer. I come from centralized repositories, such as SVN, where usually you only perform checkouts, updates, commits, reverts, merges and not much more. Git is driving me crazy. There are tons of commands, but the most difficult to understand is why many things work as they do. According to "What is a bare git repository?" : Repositories created with git init --bare are called bare repos. They are structured a bit differently from working directories. First off, they contain no working or checked out copy of your source files. … A bare

Here's my current hook in a bare repo that lives in the company's server: git push origin master This hooks pushes to Assembla. What i need is to push only one branch (master, ideally) when someone pushes changes to that branch on our server, and ignore pushes to other branches. Is it possible to select the branch from a bare repo and push only that branch to Assembla? A post-receive hook gets its arguments from stdin, in the form <oldrev> <newrev> <refname> . Since these arguments are coming from stdin, not from a command line argument, you need to use read instead of $1 $2 $3 . The post
