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.
