Hi Shawn,

Sorry to ask again, but I'm a little confuse about how git work in my case. I use gitosis on a server where I have all repos (/usr/local/git/repositories/), so different people clone their repos on their computers. What I want is to backup, on gitosis server, all repos in /backups/git/repositories/ after every commit. So, my questions are:

Do I have to run these two comands on tha gitosis server? Or on a
remote computer?
  git --git-dir=/backup/project.git init
  git remote add --mirror backup /backup/project.git

The post-commit are execute on gitosis server or on the remote pc?

I'm completely new using git so I'm a little confuse.. sorry for asking again.

thanks a lot. regards Israel. On 10/12/09, Shawn O. Pearce <spearce@spearce.org> wrote:
