This seems to require that I login to my server and clone from my laptop, which again requires me to run an sshd on my laptop, and - because it's always behind a router - to 'ssh -R' (remote port forwarding) to access it. Did I miss something, and can I do something like 'git clone localdir ssh://server/path'? Or otherwise, wouldn't that be something to add? Kind regards, Roald ``` ## Allen Johnson, 2009-07-24 13:58 Subject: Re: cloning to remote Message-ID: <6786ed4f0907240658s5c22cb6bs32d59e95e1bb3468@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/6786ed4f0907240658s5c22cb6bs32d59e95e1bb3468%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` I'm not sure about cloning to a remote url but you could do the clone locally then secure copy it to your server. $ git clone --bare project1 project1.git $ scp -r project1.git username@server:/path/to/repo Then, optionally, update your local project1/.git/config and setup default rules for pushing to the server repo.
