Hopefully you can\npoint to the appropriate documents.\n\nThanks,\n\nWink\n\n"},{"id":"296112","messageId":"20061106061846.GB23126@spearce.org","threadId":"43404","inReplyTo":"454ED27F.8060106@saville.com","subject":"Re: how-to \"backup\" a repository","fromName":"Shawn Pearce","fromEmail":"spearce@spearce.org","sentAt":"2006-11-06T06:18:46Z","receivedAt":"2006-11-06T06:18:46Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"spearce@spearce.org","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/34844?v=4"},"body":"Wink Saville wrote:\n> This sounds easy enough, but how-to \"create a remote\"?\n> I looked in .git/remotes and see origin which contains:\n> \n> URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git\n> Pull: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin\n> \n> But where is the syntax defined?\n\nSee http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-push.html#URLS\n \n> Also, how do I setup git on my server so that it becomes a server?\n\nSo long as you can ssh to it and Git is installed in your PATH then\nthere's nothing else to do; Git will login via SSH and execute Git\non the remote side to run the server.\n\n-- \n"},{"id":"297633","messageId":"7vfycxf63k.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net","threadId":"43404","inReplyTo":"454ED27F.8060106@saville.com","subject":"Re: how-to \"backup\" a repository","fromName":"Junio C Hamano","fromEmail":"junkio@cox.net","sentAt":"2006-11-06T06:21:19Z","receivedAt":"2006-11-06T06:21:19Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"gitster@pobox.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/54884?v=4"},"body":"Wink Saville writes:\n\n> This sounds easy enough, but how-to \"create a remote\"?\n> I looked in .git/remotes and see origin which contains:\n>\n> URL: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git\n> Pull: refs/heads/master:refs/heads/origin\n>\n> But where is the syntax defined?\n\nman git-push -- where else ;-)?\n\nhttp://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-push.html\n\n"}]}
