Is this possible?\n\nFirst, you can set up either SSH tunnel (for SSH transport), or HTTP\nproxy (`http_proxy`[1] environment variable or `http.proxy` config\nvariable[2] for HTTP transport, both smart and dumb), or git proxy\n(`core.gitproxy`, e.g. netcat or ssh, for git:// protocol)\n\nSecond, you can configure repository using hooks so that pushing to\nsaid intermediate repository would push to destination repository. In\nthis solution you would have repository on disk on intermediate\nmachine, but you can avoid manual transfer to and from intermediate\nmachine.\n\n[1] curl(1) manpage, the \"Environment\" section\n[2] git-config(1) manpage\n\nHTH\n-- \nJakub Narebski\n"},{"id":"189407","messageId":"20120416144726.GA13688@sigill.intra.peff.net","threadId":"30246","inReplyTo":"CAAnwhhXPs0+GPExMu8TP0jbctMamg6FZW2ndcQMJbtqGetfyZw@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Pushing to a remote repo from a remote repo?","fromName":"Jeff King","fromEmail":"peff@peff.net","sentAt":"2012-04-16T14:47:26Z","receivedAt":"2012-04-16T14:47:26Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"peff@peff.net","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/45925?v=4"},"body":"On Sat, Apr 14, 2012 at 07:16:36PM -0400, Brian Cardarella wrote:\n\n> Yes, I assumed the bits need to come through my system.

Thank you.\n\nThis isn't really a git problem, but rather a network proxying problem.\nYou could solve it with netcat and ssh like:\n\n # forward port 5001 on our local box to ssh on the \"source\" box\n nc -lp 5001 -c 'nc $source 22' &\n\n # forward port 5001 on the destination box to our local forward,\n # and then start the clone\n ssh -R 5001:localhost:5001 $dest \\\n 'git clone ssh://localhost:5001/path/to/repo'\n\nIf the repository is accessible by http, then you can easily tweak it to\nforward to port 80. If, for some reason, you prefer push rather than\nfetch, you can create the tunnels in the reverse direction.\n\n-Peff\n"}]}
