Setup Your Own Git Server In 5 Minutes

Sometimes, we need to build up a small project together with our co-workes.
But the modules in this project are highly dependent, it might takes much time to integrate our codes.
It’s a good idea to create a simple git server to help to handle that annoying work.

First, login our remote server, and then create a git user:

$ ssh root@REMOTE_SERVER
$ sudo adduser git
$ exit

Secondly, login as git, create a repository

$ ssh git@REMOTE_SERVER
$ mkdir test.git
$ cd test.git
$ git --bare init
$ exit

Now, you can commit your local codes to the remote git server

$ mkdir test 
$ cd test
$ git init
$ touch README
$ git add README
$ git commit -m "first commit"
$ git remote add origin git@REMOTE_SERVER:test.git
$ git push origin master

Finally, ask your co-worker to clone it!

$ git clone git@REMOTE_SERVER:test.git
