- There are times where you may want to host

your remote Git repository within your network.

which you don't want to trust to a cloud provider,

of having your Git server on your local network.

I recommend setting up your own private Git repository.

and have the rhhost1 client contacted through the network.

However, this will also work just fine on one host.

It's just not we'd build it in a real environment.

which means you'll probably want a Git repository

on an operating system that has an SSH server

Although it can also work on Windows using Win32_OpenSSH.

Go to the host with a remote repository will reside,

If you plan on doing this exercise on one host,

just follow along as these instructions will work

Now make a directory for the Git repository.

Where you put this is not that important,

as long as the git user has access to it.

Type in sudo mkdir -p /srv/git/GitprojectTwo.git

Notice that I've used the .git naming convention

This is to tell me that this is a remote repository

We will not see the into this directory and do commits.

Now, change into the GitProject2.git directory by typing in

Now we'll initialize a bare Git repository.

Type in sudo git init --bare and hit enter.

cd up two levels by typing in cd /srv and hit enter.

And we'll change the ownership of the Git directory

we need to know the IP address of this host.

Type in clear, and then type in ifconfig, and hit enter.

Even if you're using one host for this exercise,

you'll still need to know the IP address,

Again, if you're doing this on one host, that's fine,

we'll just have our client contact our server,

which happens to be the same host with same IP address.

Let's create a new local project called GitProjectTwo.

Type in mkdir -p ~/RemoteRepos/GitProjectTwo

Notice that I didn't include the .git portion of the name.

This tells me this is a Git project directory

The naming convention is actually up to you.

Type in cp /etc/passwd /etc/hosts /etc/resolv.cof .

This has to copy these files to the current directory
